Brett Slezak

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Robert Kim opened from under the gun and was called by Nan Min in the big blind.

On the K♥9♥7♥ flop, Min checked to Kim who bet 12,000 before Min check-jammed for a total of 27,000. Kim called.

Nan Min: A♥2♥ All in
Robert Kim: 7♠7♦

Kim had flopped button set but was behind the flopped nut flush of Min. No waiting was required as the 9♣ landed on the turn to give Kim a full house and leave Min drawing dead to the 2♠ river as she hit the rail in brutal fashion.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Samuel Roussy-Majeau opened the action from the hijack, raising to 5,000. Jessica Vierling responded with a three-bet to 16,500 from the button. After a short pause, Roussy-Majeau came back with a four-bet to 29,000, and Vierling quickly moved all in. Roussy-Majeau snap-called to set up a showdown.

Jessica Vierling: J♥J♣ All in
Samuel Roussy-Majeau: A♣K♠

Vierling was ahead preflop, but the dealer wasted no time flipping the script as the flop landed A♠A♦4♠, giving Roussy-Majeau trips with top kicker. The 10♦ turn and Q♣ river offered no help to Vierling, who hit the rail while Roussy-Majeau raked in a decent pot.

Tolga Demirel raised to 6,000 from under the gun. Francois Truong three-bet to 40,000 leaving himself just 4,500 behind. Rohit Mariwalla folded in the next position and it folded back to Demirel who called.

Francois Truong: 6♥6♣ All in
Tolga Demirel: A♣K♠

The A♥K♦10♦ flop gave Demirel two pair, with Mairwalla bemoaning the fact he'd folded pocket tens. The turn J♦ and river 7♦ bricked for Truong and he was eliminated.

Kassouf Soars; Sabia Falls

Liam Gannon

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Matthew Sabia raised to 5,500 from early position and Roland Rokita called in middle position with Will Kassouf on the button.

The flop rolled out A♣4♦3♦ and action checked around to Kassouf who bet 13,000 and Sabia responded with a raise to 26,000. Rokita folded and Kassouf went into his usual soliloquy, but he ultimately decided to call.

On the turn J♦ Sabia checked a second time.

"Oh you checked?" asked Kassouf, "This is weird. I wonder if you just have ace-queen of diamonds."

After taking some time and the clock getting called on him by one of his table mates, Kassouf bet 57,000. Sabia responded by moving all in for 114,000, sending Kassouf back into the tank.

"I guess if you got it you've got it," he said after thinking for a little bit longer, then put in the chips to put Sabia at risk.

Matthew Sabia: 4♥4♠ All in
Will Kassouf: 8♦6♦

The river 10♥ kept Kassouf in the lead as he soared up the counts while Sabia exited the tournament.

Hero Call Gone Wrong

Stewart Morrison

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action was joined as Daisuke Sawayama and Kenneth Der were competing for a pot worth roughly 80,000 chips.

With a board already dealt to the turn showing 8♣7♣K♥2♠, the action was on Der.

Seeing that his opponent had less than a pot-sized bet behind, Der elected to move all in, for his opponent's effective stack of 70,500.

Sawayama went deep into the tank, thinking through the hand and formulating the best response. After a few minutes, he decided to flick in the call, putting his tournament life at risk.

Daisuke Sawayama: Q♠Q♥ All in
Kenneth Der: K♣10♣

It was a dire situation for Sawayama, who only had one possible out to stay alive.

The river 5♣ only served to improve Der to a flush, and Sawayama headed to the exit.

Sava Krink

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Nicholas Pinguelo opened the action from middle position with a raise to 27,000, leaving himself just 2,500 behind. Sitting right next to him, Sorin Ionut Morariu made the call, and with no other takers, the two went heads-up to a flop of 8♦4♦J♥.

Pinguelo wasted no time and tossed in his last 2,500, which Morariu snap-called.

Nicholas Pinguelo: 10♣10♦
Sorin Ionut Morariu:A♦K♥

Pinguelo was ahead with his pocket tens, but the A♠ on the turn flipped the script, giving Morariu top pair. The 9♣ river offered no help, and with that, Pinguelo’s tournament run came to an end.

Naets Among the Latest Casualties

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The cards of Sylvain Naets were just mucked by the dealer while the chips were sent over two spots to Juan Pablo Nuno Sanchez on the button. Jordan Mazer mentioned "ace nine versus ace-queen, twenty six thousand five hundred" to recap the action.

Sanchez's A♦Q♥ were still exposed and they ended up best on the K♣6♦2♣7♥7♦ board.
