Heath Still Fighting

Level 4 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After losing a good chunk of his stack recently, Ben Heath was back in the saddle from the big blind when faced with a raise to 25,000 by Barak Wisbrod on the button. Heath just defended his big blind and the dealer fanned the flop of Q♦6♣2♠.

Heath checked to Wisbrod who continued with a bet of 20,000 and Heath called. The turn was the 9♣ and both players checked to the 8♦ on the river. Heath led out with a bet of 125,000 this time and Wisbrod wasted little time before folding.

Sturm Doubles with Broadway

Level 4 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A completed board of K♥J♥7♠Q♣4♣ was spread across the felt with a little over 200,000 in the middle. Leon Sturm checked from the big blind and Matthias Eibinger dropped in a bet of 150,000 on the button.

Sturm check-raised all in for 368,000 and Eibinger eventually called. Eibinger turned over K♣J♦ for two pair but Sturm had A♥10♣ for Broadway to earn a double up.

Belcher Can't Bluff Oganyan; Kulev Back In

Level 4 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Matthew Belcher opened to 20,000 and Aram Oganyan put out a raise to 62,000 before verbally announcing 80,000. A floor ruling determined that the raise would stay at 62,000. Belcher called.

Belcher checked on the J♥6♣3♣ flop and Oganyan checked back. Both players checked again on the Q♣ turn and Belcher then bet 60,000 on the 8♠ turn. Oganyan quickly called, leading Belcher to muck without showing.

Around the same time, Alex Kulev became the first player eliminated from the tournament before buying back in on a second and final bullet.

"Must just have aces," Hunichen remarked.

Steven checked again and Kulev gave it some thought but checked it back. Steven flipped over 8♥8♦ for a full house and Kulev was not going to beat that one.
