Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jeremy Ausmus limped the small blind, Ben Tollerene isolated to 340,000 from the big blind, and Ausmus called.

On the 9♥4♦3♦ flop, Tollerene continued for 200,000 before Ausmus check-raised to 600,000 and Tollerene called.

Ausmus slowed down a check on the K♣ turn before Tollerene put out a bet of 800,000, and Ausmus called.

On the K♠ river, Ausmus took some time before he checked and Tollerene quickly checked behind. Ausmus tabled K♦9♦ for a full house as Tollerene mucked and Ausmus scooped a big one.

Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Phil Ivey joined the feature table and was seating to the immediate right of Martin Kabrhel. "What's up, buddy," Ivey said as he took a seat.

Ivey joined in the small blind so he got to wait a few hands before joining the action. "And now we can play with the Phillip boy," Kabrhel cheered.

Unfortunately for Kabrhel, Ivey proceeded to fold the next several hands. "I thought it would be a tougher table with Phillip!"

Kabrhel then said Ivey looked like he was happy. "Is it because you get to play with me?" This got a grin out of even Ivey.

With roughly 700,000 in the pot on a flop of 6♦3♣7♠, Stephen Chidwick checked from under the gun and Daniel Negreanu bet 550,000 from the next seat. Chidwick thought for a while and then called.

The K♦ turn checked through, as did the A♠ river. Chidwick showed 10♥10♦ for a pair of tens, and lost the pot to Negreanu's Q♥Q♣ for a pair of queens.

Davies led out with a bet of 425,000 and Theologis stuck around for the 4♣ on the turn. Davies used a time bank and then splashed in a bet of 700,000. Theologis instantly let go of his cards and Davies raked in a healthy pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Christoph Vogelsang raised to 160,000 in the cutoff and Ben Heath defended from the big blind. The flop came Q♠9♣4♠ and Heath checked to Vogelsang who bet 110,000. Heath check-raised to 405,000 and Vogelsang called.

The 9♥ paired the board on the turn and Heath led out with a bet of 315,000. Vogelsang jammed all in for 1,240,000 and Heath used two of his time banks before calling.

Christoph Vogelsang: Q♥10♣ All in
Ben Heath: K♠6♠

The river was the 6♦ which was not enough for Heath who was forced to pass over a double up.

"The German bank!" Martin Kabhrel exclaimed after congratulating Vogelsang on his victory.

Kabrhel Four-Flushes on Koon

Level 13 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jason Koon was down to just 395,000 and shoved all in from early position. The action folded around to Martin Kabrhel in the big blind who was hesitant to call at first.

"I don't want to bust you but it's like a win-win. If I double you, I'm happy. If I bust you, I'm still happy," Kabrhel rambled before making the call.

Jason Koon: 3♠3♥ All in
Martin Kabrhel: 10♣9♠

"Good luck, Jason," Kabhrle continued. "In the next tournament, not this one."

The flop came K♣8♣4♥ and things got real interesting on the 3♣ turn. Koon picked up a set but Kabrhle had the lone flush draw. The river was the A♣, which got murmurs from the rail, and Koon departed from the feature table.
