On the turn 5♦, Leideck bet 8,000 and Kinstle called again. Finally on the river Q♠, Leideck shot out 50,000 and Kinstle snap-called.

Tank, Tank, Tank

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a flop of Q♠3♣5♠ and the pot at about 30,000, Michael McCarthy checked in the small blind and Michael Hans bet out for 9,000 from the big blind. McCarthy went into the tank for about three minutes before he check-raised to 24,000, which sent Hans into the tank for about two minutes before he made the call, and the players saw the 9♦ peel off on the turn.

McCarthy went into the tank again for 2-3 minutes before betting out for 42,000, which of course then sent Hans into the tank again, (PokerNews lost track of the time by now!) and he eventually called.

The 7♥ came on the river, and yes, you guessed it, McCarthy went into the tank again before he pushed out a bet of 140,000, and yes, this sent Hans into the tank, who eventually....................folded! The whole hand took approximately 12-15 minutes.

Christopher Kondrat A♦5♦ All in
Lukas Zaskodny: Q♣10♣

On the runout of 5♠4♠2♦3♥8♥, Zaskodny did not improve and doubled up Kondrat.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Nikolay Volper raised to 8,000 from middle position and was called by Rafael Fajardo in the big blind.

The flop revealed 9♦3♣4♥. Volper checked, Fajardo bet 6,500, and Volper raised to 16,000. Fajardo made the call.

The turn brought the 4♠. This time, Volper bet 32,000, and Fajardo called.

Both players checked when the dealer placed the 5♠ on the river. Fajardo tabled A♠J♠, which was good for the win.

All Smiles for Miles

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tony Miles opened to 8,000 under the gun and got the blinds, James Borland in small and Scott Weinstein in big, to call.

All three checked the 3♥10♣Q♣ flop. Borland led on the 4♣ turn pushing Weinstein out of the way and getting a call from Miles. The 4♠ went check-check.

Borland showed the winning hand of K♥Q♦ prompting Miles to muck his hand, but with a smile. It would seem that his mom follows PokerNews and now that his hand will be reported, she'll know he's on the most fun table in the tournament.

Samuel Deering: A♥K♣ All in
Gregory Brown: 6♣6♠

Deering could not find his ace or king, sending him to the rail, while Brown chipped up to over 700,000.
