Laura Fryer

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Scott Baumstein opened to 4,000 from early position and Seun Oluwole called from the cutoff. Joseph Szoke also defended the big blind, taking the players three-ways to the flop.

The 8♥6♦4♥ fell, and Szoke checked with Oluwole betting 8,000. Both players called behind and they saw the A♦ turn.

Action was checked to the 7♥ river and again to showdown.

Joseph Szoke showed 9♦9♣ for a pair of nines but Scott Baumstein turned over 9♥6♥ for a flush.

Oluwole mucked, and Baumstein scooped the small pot.

Action was picked up with big blind Jean Kleemann all-in for 70,000 on a flop of 2♣5♦4♥ with a pot of 137,500. Action was with Masato Yokosawa , in cutoff and his heads-up opponent, who ultimately made the call.

Masato Yokosawa: 2♠2♦

Kleeman had top two pair while Yokosawa was ahead with bottom set. The runout 8♠6♣ didn't help Kleeman. Yokosawa scooped a monster pot as Kleeman bid his table good luck.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Gary McCoy opened from middle position to 5,000, and immediately faced a three-bet from Darrell Washburn, one seat to his left. Action folded back to McCoy, who made the call.

The dealer fanned a 10♥5♠5♥ flop, which both players chose to check.

McCoy checked for a second time on the 7♦ turn, which prompted Washburn to pick his betting lead back up, doing so for 17,000. There was no interest in continuing from McCoy, who returned his cards to the dealer.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The cards were already on their backs and Xuejun Huang celebrated a knockout when Haruki Arita was sent to the rail during the late stages of the night. According to the table chat, it had been a multi-way pot in which Huang's J♦10♦ had flopped the nut straight on Q♠9♣8♣ and the A♠Q♦ of Arita could not catch up anymore on the Q♥ turn and 2♥ river.

Nicholas Rigby raised to 5,000 with 5♠4♥ in hijack. Stefan Jahn, in cutoff, three-bet to 13,000. Rigny called to see the flop.

The flop came 9♥3♠5♥. Rigby hit his five and checked. Jahn bet 8,000 and Rigby called.

The turn K♦ placed Jahn in the lead but both players checked. On the river 4♣, Rigby caught a two pair. He bet 42,000 which was enough to make Jahn fold.

Dan O'Hair

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Benji Tustin opened to 4,000 from middle position and was called by Bruce Peery in the hijack. It was then folded to Davide Muccini, who shoved for approximately 30,000 from the small blind. Tustin also went all in for more and Peery got out of the way.

Davide Muccini: A♣Q♠ All in
Benji Tustin: K♣K♠

Muccini would need some help to get his Main Event dreams alive, but the 3♣J♠7♥5♦K♥ runout left Tustin with a set of kings instead — ending Muccini's run.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Matusow called to the 7♥ river, where Eskenazi bet another 15,500. Matusow took a few minutes but eventually folded.

Thomas Eychenne is at this same table with a stack of around 600,000.
