Check It Down

Level 2 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

James Dempsey raises to 4,000 on the button and Adrien Allain calls. The flop reads {2-Spades}{J-Spades}{5-Hearts}, Allain checks and Dempsey checks behind. The turn brings the {2-Diamonds} into play and again both players check. Guess what happened when the {2-Hearts} made an appearance on the river? That is correct, they both checked again.

Allain announced, "queen high" but is beaten by the {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} of Dempsey.

Richard Toth from Day 1

Richard Toth has defeated Anton Makiievskyi heads-up to advance to tomorrow's ten-handed final table.

Makiievskyi was down to 11 big blinds and in the big blind. He called all-in with {a-}{6-} after Toth shoved with {5-Spades}{6-Spades}. The board ran {2-}{3-Spades}{7-}{2-Spades}{k-Spades} to make the Hungarian a back-door flush.

Dempsey Four-Bet Folds

Level 2 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

James Demsey is heads-up with Adrien Allain and they were fairly even in chips before the Brit four-bet folded.

He raised to 4,000 from the button and faced a three-bet to 11,000 from Allain in the big blind. His response was to bump it up to 26,000, only to be shoved on for 96,000. He tank-folded, saying he had a good ace. The Frenchman rubbed salt into his wounds by flashing {k-Spades}{9-Spades}.

ElkY Showing Relentless Aggression

Level 2 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The action is on Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and he makes it 3,300 to play. Dylan Wilkerson makes the call and it is off the the {7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} flop. Wilkerson checks, ElkY bets 4,200 and Wilkerson quickly calls.

The turn card is the {4-Hearts} and again Wilkerson checks but this time he folds as ElkY sets the price as 9,200 to play.

It's Toth at The Top

Level 2 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The board reads {6-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Anton Makiievskyi checks over to Richard Toth. He sits completely motionless but suddenly springs into life and pushes a pile of yellow chips worth 20,000 into the middle of the felt. With already 33,000 in the pot before this bet the pot is substantial. After nearly two minutes Makiievskyi folds his hand.

Toth is in charge of this particular match-up and is giving the Ukrainian a tough time.
