Foxen Takes It On the Turn

Level 8 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Alex Foxen opened to 180,000 with the {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and picked up two callers in Dominik Nitsche with the {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Orpen Kisacikoglu with {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

On the {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, only Nitsche called a bet of 195,000 by Foxen and the {4-Diamonds} followed on the turn. Foxen now made it 1,100,000 to go and shut down all further resistance.

Level 8 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Ryan Riess
Ryan Riess

Mikita Badziakouski opened to 180,000 from the hijack and Matthias Eibinger called on the button. Ryan Riess three-bet to 850,000 from the big blind and Badziakouski four-bet to 2,000,000. Eibinger quickly folded and Riess used three of his time extensions before just making the call.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Spades} and Riess checked to Badziakouski who shoved all in. Riess called off his last 1,390,000 and the cards were tabled. Badziakouski showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} while Riess was out front with {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

The turn was the {q-Hearts} and Riess held on through the {8-Hearts} on the river in order to score a huge double up.

Katz Eliminated by Kempe

Level 8 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Cary Katz
Cary Katz

Over on the outer tables, two of the shorter stacks clashed and it was Cary Katz that ended up all-in and at risk for 1,610,000 against Rainer Kempe.

Cary Katz: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Rainer Kempe: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Kempe jumped into the lead with the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop and added a flushdraw with the {8-Spades} turn. For good measure, he even improved to a flush with the {4-Spades} river to send Katz to the rail on his first bullet.

The Run-Good of Foxen Continues

Level 8 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Alex Foxen
Alex Foxen

Alex Foxen made it 170,000 to go with the {j-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Timothy Adams just called with the {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} in the big blind. On the {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, Adams checked and called a bet worth 305,000. Both opted to check the {8-Spades} on the turn and Foxen got there on the {10-Diamonds} river.

Adams checked once more and a bet of 790,000 by Foxen found no call.

Last Break of the Night

Level 8 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The remaining 18 players are heading on their last 15-minute break of the night. When they return, the players and tournament staff have decided to play just one more level before bagging up their chips.

Level: 9

Blinds: 50,000/100,000

Ante: 100,000

Small Pot for Badziakouski

Level 9 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu defended his big blind against a raise by Mikita Badziakouski and checked the {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop. Badziakouski made it 200,000 to go and Kisacikoglu wanted to see another card.

Once the {2-Spades} fell on the turn, Kisacikoglu checked and a second barrel of 800,000 by Badziakouski did the trick to win the pot right there.

Chin Wei Lim opened to 200,000 from under the gun and Paul Phua defended from the big blind. The flop came {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Phua check-called a bet of 150,000 from Lim.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and both players checked to the {9-Hearts} on the river. Phua checked again and Lim tossed in a bet of 350,000. Phua looked him up and Lim showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for trip nines, good enough to win the pot.

Burns and Nitsche Jockey for Position

Level 9 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Dominik Nitsche opened to 350,000 from under the gun and Kahle Burns called on his left. The rest of the table folded and the dealer fanned the flop of {k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

Nitsche checked to Burns who bet 300,000 and Nitsche called. The turn was the {j-Spades} and Nitsche checked again. Burns fired out another 500,000 and Nitsche quickly folded.

Chen Spikes the Turn to Stay Alive

Level 9 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
James Chen
James Chen

Alex Foxen opened to 220,000 from the hijack and James Chen used up a time extension before shoving all in for 3,000,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Foxen who instantly called to put Chen at risk.

James Chen: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Alex Foxen: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip that saw Foxen hold the lead through the {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop. However, the {k-Diamonds} on the turn paired Chen's king and the {8-Diamonds} was insignificant on the river. Chen got a full double up at the hands of the chip leader to level the playing field.
