Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action was joined as Jeremy Ausmus and Youness Barakat tangled in the blinds. Barakat was all in from the big blind preflop for 174,000, with Ausmus looking to reduce the field by one.

'Be Careful, There Are Still People to Act Behind'

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna raised to 12,000 under the gun, which Eelis Parssinen and Barrett Threadgill both called in middle position. Sam Soverel then put in a three-bet to 66,000 on the button, and the action returned to Suvarna.

Before Suvarna had acted, both Parssinen and Threadgill folded out of turn.

Suvarna asked the dealer, "Is it on me?", to which the dealer replied that it was.

"Be careful, there are still people to act behind you", Soverel joked, referring to the two folds out of turn.

Suvarna opted to call, and the dealer spread a 108Q flop. The action checked through, and when Suvarna led out for 75,000 on the A turn, Soverel decided to surrender and mucked his cards.
