Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Heads up, Ran Kadur, in the small blind, checked the 8♠5♦Q♠ flop with a pot of around 50,000. David Welch fired 18,000 and Kadur replied with an all-in shove for around 103,000 which Welch snap called putting Kadur at risk.

Ran Kadur: 5♠2♠
David Welch: A♠K♠

Kadur was ahead with a pair and a flush draw but Welch had a lot of outs with the nut flush draw and his overcards. On the turn, Welch took the lead when the K♥ fell. But his lead was short lived as the 5♥ dropped on the river, giving Kadur trips and a double-up to continue his tournament run.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Welch	284,000 181,000	181,000
Ran Kadur	250,000 130,000	130,000

Javier Fernandez: 6♠6♥

Death by Quads

Jacob Wilson

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Fresh off the bat of a hot run yesterday, Guy Haviv was looking to continue his streak as he raised to 20,000 under the gun. He received two callers, including Yusheng Lin, who defended his big blind.

On a flop of 3♦7♦5♣, Lin then took the initiative, betting 55,000 before Haviv instantly raised to 143,000. The third player got out of the way, and Lin took his time to think before shoving for not much more.

"I have a set," announced Haviv as he called.

Yusheng Lin: 9♦9♥ All in
Guy Haviv: 3♠3♥

As if the set wasn't enough, Haviv rivered quads on the 10♣3♣ runout to secure the elimination, and continue his sun run.
