Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Shai Zurr raised to 13,000 in late position, Yu Liu flatted on the button, and Tom-Aksel Bedell three-bet to 34,000 in the small blind. Zurr then four-bet jammed for 131,000 to put himself at risk, prompting Liu to get out of the way. Bedell thought for a moment before making the call.

Shai Zurr: A♠Q♠ All in
Tom-Aksel Bedell: 9♠9♦

It was a fair fight but Bedell came out on top as the board ran out K♠2♣8♠8♣9♥, sending Zurr to the rail just shy of the money.

Bubble Burst

Myles Phago

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was folded to Ren Lin in the cutoff, who raised to 16,000, and action was then folded to Koray Korkmaz in the big blind. Korkmaz had only 2,000 behind, so would be forced all in next hand in the small blind. He went into the tank for a good 3-4 minutes and then called.

Koray Korkmaz: 4♠4♥ All in
Ren Lin: K♥9♠

The flop came 5♣J♠J♣, and it was looking like a double up for Korkmaz, but then the 10♥ came on the turn, giving some danger. The Q♦ then peeled off on the river to make Lin a straight and sent Korkmaz home as the bubble boy.

Aces No Good for Audoli

Myles Phago

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Angela Defoe raised from under the gun to 20,000 only for Baptiste Audoli to three-bet all in from middle position for 119,000. Ravi Shankar in the small blind then asked for counts on both players before deciding to flat call. Defoe folded.

Baptiste Audoli: A♦A♥ All in
Ravi Shankar: 10♠10♣

Audoli liked the 6♦K♠2♣ flop but then saw the 10♦ peel off on the turn to leave him drawing to an ace on the river to stay alive. No such luck when the Q♦ rolled off and Audoli was sent to the rail.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Chen Kuanying raised from middle position to 20,000 only for Alfie Poetra to move all in from late position for 144,000. Kuanying went into the tank and ended up making the call.

Alfie Poetra: A♥J♥ All in
Chen Kuanying: A♦10♦

Not the flop Poetra wanted to see with a ten as the door card on the 10♣9♠3♥ flop. The 6♠ was no help on the turn nor was the 4♥ river, and Poetra was sent packing.

Blaise Bourgeois was short-stacked and all in from the small blind against Evan Sandberg in the cutoff who had the covering stack.

Blaise Bourgeois: K♥K♠ All in
Evan Sandberg: 5♥5♦

The flop came 2♦10♥5♠ with Sandberg spiking a five to pull ahead in the hand. The Q♦ turn and 4♥ river offered no help to Bourgeois and he was sent packing.

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Lawrence Lakatosh raised to 20,000 under the gun and Robert Schulz three-bet shoved in early position for 166,000 to put himself at risk. Conor Bergin called in the cutoff and Lakatosh got out of the way.

Robert Schulz: A♦Q♠ All in
Conor Bergin: A♠K♥

Bergin pulled ahead further on the 9♥K♦6♠ flop, pairing his king. The 5♠ turn and K♣ river offered no help to Schulz and he was sent to the payout desk.
