Yevgeniy Timoshenko Eliminated, Julien Martini Advances

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

With the board reading {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} and a pile of chips in the middle, Julien Martini checked in the big blind. Yevgeniy Timoshenko moved all in for 35,300, and Martini went into the tank. He rubbed his head and thought for over two minutes before putting forward his remaining stack of 30,800.

Timoshenko showed {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} for queen-high, and Martini tabled {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} for ace-high with the king-high flush draw. He did a silent fist pump in celebration of the correct call, and the {10-Spades} river improved him to a flush.

Timoshenko matched Martini's stack and was left with just 4,500 chips.

In the next hand, Timoshenko called Martini's button shove in the big blind with pocket sevens against Martini's {Q-Spades}{6-Clubs}, but Martini found a queen on the river to eliminate Timoshenko and move on to the next round.

Moritz Dietrich Takes Down Rainer Kempe

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Following the river of a board that read {K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{9-Clubs} with about 18,000 in the pot, Rainer Kempe (small blind) was in the tank for his remaining 25,000-ish after being set in by Moritz Dietrich. After about three minutes, Kempe called all in.

Dietrich tabled {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a nine-high straight, Kempe mucked, and Dietrich won the match.

Weird Win for Katz

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

There was roughly 7,500 in the pot with the board reading {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Spades} {2-Clubs}. Action was on Cary Katz after he had bet 5,000 and was raised to 15,000 by Barry Woods on the button. Katz piled his stack in, somewhat splashing his bet and tabled his hand, which was {5-}{4-} for two pair. Woods then tabled his hand, which was {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

The dealer called over the floor, as Woods still had a decision to call for 8,600 more. As the floor had approached, Woods said he was folding to that raise. Katz raked in the pot, and he was given a two-hand penalty for exposing his cards prematurely with action pending. He forked over a small and big blind for 2,400, and play is now continuing.

Marchese vs. Stein

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Tom Marchese has had the lead in this match for the majority of play. Until recently, that is, when Sam Stein took down a big pot with {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} on a jack-high board with his second pair of nines. Marchese then doubled through on the very next hand with {a-}{7-} versus Stein's {j-}{10-} and closed the gap.

Aldemir Doubles Through Wasserson

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Koray Aldemir raised all in for about 18,000 from the button, and Eric Wasserson called from the big blind with {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, racing with Aldemir's {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

The board came down {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, giving Aldemir aces up to double through Wasserson.
