Klatt Drops; Dono Builds

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

"You jinxed me, I lost half of it," Andreas Klatt said and added that he got it in with flush versus set and his table neighbor Petro Popovych got there with a full house.

Popovych was also involved in the next bigger hand on their tables. The flop showed and Luis Dono check-raised out of the big blind from 1,800 to 5,200, which Popovych called. The turn went check, check, and Dono's bet on the river for 14,700 won the pot without resistance.

In the last hand before the break on Hellmuth's table, Michael Chaffe looked up short stack Razvan Gherge for 5,000 with versus and the board came . "Do you mind if I take a picture?" Chaffe then asked and Hellmuth nodded, the Brit snapped a shot with his iPad and headed into the break right after.

Some of the hopefuls that started well thus far include Zhivko Sotirov and Clint Sammut. The duo clashed in a smaller pot when Sotirov reluctantly called a bet of 4,050 by Sammut on the river.
