Frank Visser

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

Benjamin Souriau opened the action with a raise from early position. Sylwia Studniarz called in the cutoff before Jason Wong moved in his last 24,000 from the cutoff. Souriau called, after which Studniarz four-bet all in, covering Souriau.

Souriau let go of his hand, leaving himself just over 15 big blinds. Once the tournament director had arrived at the table, the cards went face up.

Jason Wong: Q♣8♣ All in
Sylwia Studniarz: A♥J♦

Wong turned a flush draw on K♦3♠2♣K♣ for some extra outs, and he rivered two pair with the Q♦ to beat the ace-high of Studniarz and double up.

Daniele Primerano raised to 17,000 in the cutoff and was called by Kosaku Akashi on the button and Adam Rude in the small blind. The flop came J♣7♥5♣ and the action checked to Akashi who bet 30,000. Rude check-raised all in for 254,000 which got Primerano to fold but Akashi quickly called.

Rude flopped a set of sevens but Akashi had outs with the nut flush draw. The turn brought the 8♣ and Akashi instantly hit his flush. Rude needed the board to pair but it was the K♣ on the river that sent Rude home, bringing the field down to just 1,462 players

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

Gustavo Barbero raised to 18,000 under the gun. Terence Clee called in the hijack, and Stacey Ceragioli defended her big blind.

Barbero continued for 62,000 on the 3♣4♠3♠ flop, which Clee called. Ceragioli then check-raised to 222,000, folding out Barbero. Clee called after careful consideration, and the 10♣ fell on the turn.

Ceragioli moved her last 80,000 over the line, which Clee snapped off. Once all other tables had finished playing, the cards were revealed.

Stacey Ceragioli: 4♥4♦ All in
Terence Clee : 6♣5♦

Ceragioli's full house left Clee's straight draw without outs, and an inconsequential 9♠ river completed the board before the next hand was ordered to be dealt.
