Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A hand broke out between three players when Isaac Kempton raised to 9,000 from early position and was called by Scott Bohlman in the next seat over. Dan Shak came along with a call from the big blind to take three players to the flop.

Both Shak and Kempton checked the 2♥3♥8♦ flop, and Bohlman responded with a bet of 20,000. Shak folded, and Kempton called to trim the hand down to two people.

Both Kempton and Bohlman checked the 6♣ turn, which brought the 4♠ river.

Kempton led out 25,000 on the river. Bohlman thought about it, but decided on a fold to award Kempton the pot.

Eugene Golubchik raised to 7,000 under the gun. Killian Desnos called in middle position, Chris Hunichen called in the cutoff, and Gruffudd Pugh-Jones came along from the big blind.

The flop came the A♥Q♥2♣ and Golubchik continued for 22,000 when action got checked to him. Desnos then asked the dealer what a pot-sized raise would be. Once the dealer calculated that it would be 97,000, that's the amount he made it. The other two players got out of the way. Golubchik then repotted to put Desnos all in, and Desnos called.

Killian Desnos: 8♥7♥5♣4♠ All in
Eugene Golubchik: A♠K♦J♠2♦

The turn was the J♣ and river was the K♣ and Golubchik eliminated Desnos.

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The hand began with an open to 7,000 from the hijack by David Wang. Roman Hrabec re-raised to 25,000 in the cutoff, which led to a call by Wang to send the two to a flop.

Both players checked the 9♦2♣8♣ flop.

When the 8♠ turn peeled off Wang checked, and Hrabec chose to bet 16,000. Wang responded by going all-in and Hrabec called after using two time banks.

The Q♣ peeled off on the river and Wang showed A♦Q♠8♦7♠ for a rivered full house to scoop the pot.

Michael Heritsch kicked things off with an under-the-gun raise to 5,000, which Jeremy Ausmus called in middle position. With the action then on Danny Hannawa, he made it 23,000, and both players called.

On the 10♥6♣7♣ flop, Heritsch continued for Pot 74,000, prompting a raise pot from Ausmus, which meant the all-in for Heritsch and Hannawa. Hannawa quickly got out of the way, and Heritsch called, leading to a showdown.

Michael Heritsch: J♠10♠9♠7♥All in
Jeremy Ausmus: K♣Q♥Q♠8♣

Heritsch flopped two pair and had a few backdoor options to improve his hand even more, whilst Ausmus had an overpair and a flush draw.

The 9♦ on the turn gave Ausmus also outs for a possible straight, but the 8♠ on the river completed the straight for Heritsch, and he doubled up.

The table folded around to Dario Alioto, who elected to raise to 5,000 on the button. James Collopy responded with a re-raise to 20,000 in the small blind. The action returned to Alioto, who continued with a call.

James Collopy: A♣A♠7♦5♠All in
Dario Alioto: K♦8♥7♥4♣.

Collopy held a pair of aces, but Alioto outflopped him with two pair. The 8♣ turn improved Alioto to a full house, and the Q♠ river ended the hand eliminating Collopy from the tournament.

Elliott Kampen called in under the gun, but Tomer Daniel in the cutoff had different plans and raised to 6,500. Jorryt van Hoof in the small blind then raised pot, and only Daniel stuck around to see the 9♠7♦10♦ flop.

Both players checked through the flop, Q♥ turn, and the 5♣ river. Van Hoof showed A♠A♥K♥2♥ for over pair, which seemed enough for Daniel as his cards found quickly the muck.

Ka Kwan Lau raised to 6,000 from the small blind, and Sergio Martinez Gonzalez made the call from the big blind.

The flop was 10♥8♥7♦ and Lau continued for 8,000. Gonzalez made the call.

The action went check-check on the 9♠ turn and on the Q♦ river.

When it was time to reveal the cards, Lau announced two pair, and showed the 9♣ and 8♠. Gonzalez showed the 10♣ and 8♣ for a better two pair. Lau hung onto his hand until Gonzalez revealed his entire four-card hand. The rest of the table said he should have to show all four of his cards to claim the pot. Gonzalez eventually showed the A♥ and K♦ to rake in the pot.
