On the three-way flop of 
, Ivan Leow bet 10,000 in the cutoff and was called by Anson Tsang out of the blinds, while Aaron Duczak sent his cards into the muck. Tsang and Leow checked the

Bulychev Near the Top
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Anson Tsang has further increased his stack but Ilya Bulychev is hot on his heels for the overnight lead. The Russian just flopped quads sevens and was paid off to add another big chunk to the growing wall right in front og him.
In the penultimate level of the night, there are only 44 players remaining and it seems unlikely that the money will be reached before bagging and tagging.

Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Martin Kabrhel: 
Ludovic Geilich: 
Ilya Bulychev: 
The board came
