Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Johannes Deusing raised to 1,300,000 from under the gun and Ioannis Panagopoulos called on the button. On the 8♦7♦6♣ flop, Deusing continued for 1,100,000 to get called by Panagopoulos and then jammed the A♦ turn, Panagopoulos called.

Johannes Deusing: K♠K♦ All in
Ioannis Panagopoulos: A♥J♦

The river was the 7♠ and the stacks were very close. Panagopoulos had 3,500,000 and that covered by a single chip to eliminate Deusing.

Honghao Shi went all in from the cutoff with just under one million chips. Quinterol Mallette raised to 2,500,000 to isolate and got no caller.

Honghao Shi: Q♣10♣ All in
Quinterol Mallette: K♦8♥

The runout 2♠9♠9♣J♥A♠ gave Shi some hope with a straight draw on the turn, but he was out in the end.

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Action folded to David Hirst in the small blind, and he moved all in for his last 3,000,000. Marat Shafigullin made the call from the big blind, putting Hirst at risk.

David Hirst: J♠9♠ All in
Marat Shafigullin: 9♦5♦

The board ran out 8♥A♣K♣K♠6♦, missing both players entirely. But Hirst’s jack-high held up as the best hand, earning him a much-needed double to stay in the tournament.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Hirst	6,600,000 3,700,000	3,700,000
Marat Shafigullin	4,800,000 350,000	350,000

Black Kings Give Mallette Chip Lead

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jerome Solomon

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

In a hand that bled into the break, Quinterol Mallette slid in a raise to 1,000,000 under the gun.

Tanith Rothman called from the hijack, and Rafael Port did likewise in the small blind.

Feizal Satchu, who was in the big blind, three-bet all in for 5,700,000 chips.

Mallette thought about it for a bit, then moved all in with his 8,300,000 stack.

Rothman folded. Port pondered.

While he was thinking, the clock was called. when the floor was brought over, it was decided that Port has not had a reasonable amount of time to make his decision. He made the call without being put on the clock.

Feizal Satchu: 7♠7♣ All in
Quinterol Mallette: K♠K♣ All in
Rafael Port: 9♠9♣

With the runout of J♥4♣10♦2♠5♥ none of the pairs hit a set and nothing else was built in the way of a straight or flush, leaving Mallette's kings as the best hand.

With the win, Mallette became the overall chip leader.

Player	Chips	Progress
Quinterol Mallette	23,800,000 12,800,000	12,800,000

Thiemer Eliminated by Lo

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Frederik Thiemer raised to 1,000,000 from under the gun and Wai Kit Lo three-bet to 2,200,000 on the button for the German to call.

Thiemer checked the K♥Q♣9♠ flop and Lo bet 1,500,000 after some consideration. That led to the check-shove by Thiemer for 6,775,000 and Lo instantly called before asking right away "do you have a set?"

Frederik Thiemer: K♦J♦ All in
Wai Kit Lo: K♣Q♥

Thiemer only had top pair and a gutshot, and Lo needed to fade pocket tens or running jacks. The 6♠ turn and 8♠ river changed nothing and that sent Thiemer to the rail in 34th place.

Wai Kit Lo	30,500,000 19,300,000	19,300,000
