Cantu Takes from Berube

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Brandon Cantu raised to 5,000 and Nico Ehlers called, as did Rene Berube in the big blind. The flop of {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} was checked through and Berube also checked the {7-Hearts} turn. Cantu bet 8,000 and Ehlers folded, before Berube's check-raise to 18,000 was called by Cantu.

On the {J-Clubs} river, Berube bet 11,000 and Cantu raised to 32,000, which Berube called by tossing in a single chip. Cantu rolled over {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} for kings full and secured a big pot on the direct money bubble.

For each hand on the money bubble, two minutes are taken off the clock to avoid stalling.

Hand-For-Hand Mode Enabled

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

After the elimination of James Hoeppner, the dealers were instructed to stop after their current hand is over to start hand-for-hand mode on the direct money bubble. One table was still running, though, and the turn showed {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Michal Mrakes checked from the small blind and Krzysztof Magott bet 10,600 in the big blind before Mrakes check-raised all in for 20,700. Magott called and the cards were tabled after all other tables were finished.

Michal Mrakes: {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Krzysztof Magott: {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}

Magott needed a deuce to improve to a full house, but the {A-Clubs} river was a blank and Mrakes doubled.

Pettersson Doubles Through Donev

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Thomas Pettersson claimed the blinds in the previous hand and raised to 7,000 again from the cutoff. Ivo Donev called out of the big blnd and bet the pot on the {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. Pettersson called all in for his last 3,800 and the cards were tabled.

Thomas Pettersson: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Ivo Donev: {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

The {8-Clubs} turn and {K-Clubs} river failed to improve Donev and Pettersson doubled.

Lakhov Doubles

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Alexander Lakhov was all in and at risk for his last 11,200 with the {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} and the player on the button looked him up with {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Lakhov's six ensured the double.

Mohammadjavad Haddadnia was less fortunate and busted from the very same table soon after to reduce the field to the last 35.

Haddadnia Pays off Duczak

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

On the tail end of a hand between Mohammadjavad Haddadnia and Aaron Duczak the river showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Duczak bet 20,000 into a pot of around 35,000. Haddadnia called and was shown {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for the nut straight to see his stack cut into more than half.

Once the hand was over, the dealers were instructed to announce an all in and call to ensure the smoothness of the upcoming money bubble.

Down to 36 Players

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

At almost the same time three different players ran out of chips. One of them happened to be Ottaviano Capellini, who got it in with a pair and a flush draw against the steam rolling power house that is Fahredin Mustafov. The latter flopped top set and the nut flush draw with {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{9-Hearts} on the {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop and the turn and river were both blanks.

There are 36 players remaining and Mustafov is chasing Rene Berube at the top of the leader board near the money bubble.

Cieslik and Ehlers Double

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

While a short stack busted on a different table, Nico Ehlers and Roman Cieslik both doubled up.

Brandon Cantu raised to 4,500 and Dario Alioto called before Cieslik shoved from the hijack for 16,000. Cantu reluctantly folded and Alioto called after as much consideration.

Roman Cieslik: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Dario Alioto: {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Cieslik doubled.

Ehlers got into a raising war with Alexander Lakhov while a third player folded the flop of {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}. Lakhov had the big stack and showed {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for top set. Ehlers turned over {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a gutshot, pair and flush draw. The {K-Diamonds} turn was a blank, but the {9-Clubs} river gave Ehlers a full house.

The Power of Chips

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Fahredin Mustafov raised to 5,000 and picked up a call by Ottaviano Capellini in the small blind. On the {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, the Italian checked and Mustafov's bet of 8,000 did the trick.

One hand later, Mustafov raised to 5,000 again and Christian Arstad as well as Sander van Wesemael in the blinds called. The flop came {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} and a bet of Mustafov for 7,000 took down the pot.

One table over, Barny Boatman, Alex Foxen and Konstantinos Alexiou limped in. Vivian Saliba in the big blind raised to 8,000 and picked up calls by Boatman and Alexiou, Foxen took a long time before folding. Alexiou immediately bet the pot on the {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop for 25,600 and that won the pot.
