Level 9 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski and Chino Rheem were heads-up in the blinds on a board of 8♣5♠5♦10♠J♠. Badziakouski led out with a bet of 125,000 into a pot of around 250,000.

Rheem went into the tank, using five of his time banks, and then finally folded.

"Now is a good time to show the bluff," Rheem pleaded but Badziakouski would not show his cards.

Level 9 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On the first hand of the day, Kristen Foxen found herself all in and at risk for 245,000. She was called by Sam Soverel with a bigger stack and Foxen was in need of some help.

Kristen Foxen: A♥4♥ All in
Sam Soverel: K♠K♥

The flop came 8♥8♣5♠ and Soverel was still out front with his pair of kings. The J♥ on the turn gave Foxen a flush draw but she couldn't find a heart on the 7♦ river.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sam Soverel	575,000 254,000	254,000

Kristen Foxen	Busted
