Mustafov and Mulder Earn Double-Ups

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Tamas Adamszki raised to 35,000 and subsequently four-bet jammed into a three-bet by table neighbour Fahredin Mustafov, who beat him into the pot with the all-in call.

Fahredin Mustafov: A♠A♣
Tamas Adamszki: 7♠7♣

Mustafov all but locked up the double with the A♥J♦8♠ flop but had a sudden sweat to endure on the 10♦ turn. However, the 10♥ river only improved the Bulgarian to aces full of tens and he doubled for 610,000.

Moments later on the third table, Teun Mulder was all-in preflop for 333,000 with the A♠Q♠. He flipped against Gab Yong Kim with the 10♦10♥ and got there on a board of A♦8♥5♥2♥6♣.

Kim Takes a Large One from Chidwick

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The pot had already grown to a sizable 490,000 chips when the action was caught on the 2♥6♣2♦7♣ turn. Hyunsup Kim and Stephen Chidwick then decided to each put 300,000 chips more into the pot, and they went off to the 4♣ river.

Both players knuckled the table and Kim showed J♦J♣ for two pair, jacks and deuces. That was enough to win the pot as Chidwick passed his cards face-down to the dealer, signaling his defeat.

Hyunsup Kim	2,075,000 510,000	510,000

Kim Puts the Pressure On Angelou-Konstas

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim and Ioannis Angelou-Konstas were heads up on a flop of 6♥8♥10♥. With around 105,000 chips in the middle, Kim checked to Angelou-Konstas, who put out a bet of 27,000. Kim then raised to 69,000 and Angelou-Konstas called.

The 7♠ turn graced the felt and Kim continued for another 165,000. Once again, Angelou-Konstas complied with a call. On the 5♠ river, Kim put Angelou-Konstas all-in for his final 375,000 chips.

Angelou-Konstas put forward all of his time bank extensions, but would ultimately only end up using two of them before throwing his cards into the muck, forfeiting the pot to Kim.

Gab Yong Kim	1,153,000 241,000	241,000

Suvarna and Zhou Increase Their Stacks

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Three ways to the A♠7♣3♥ flop, Santhosh Suvarna and Felipe Ketzer checked in the blinds. Daniel Dvoress bet 40,000 on the button and both opponents came along to the J♦ turn.

This time, only Suvarna check-called for 180,000 when Dvoress bet again. That produced the 6♦ on the river and Suvarna bet 355,000 this time. Dvoress gave him a stare down and folded, prompting a big smile on Suvarna's face when he raked in the pot.

Ketzer then squeezed big to 170,000 thereafter and Quan Zhou was the sole caller. Ketzer bet the A♣A♥6♥ flop for 50,000 to receive a call and bet again for 80,000 on the 5♥ turn. Zhou splashed in a raise to 280,000 and forced out the Brazilian.

Adams Surrenders to Barbero

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Nacho Barbero had three-bet a raise to 80,000 from the cutoff before Timothy Adams made it 160,000 to go from the big blind. Barbero sighed but eventually made the call.

The J♠4♦7♠ flop then checked through before Adams checked again on the 10♦ turn. Barbero now made a bet of 140,000 and Adams swiftly added his cards to the muck, forfeiting the pot to his opponent.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nacho Barbero	871,000 116,000	116,000

Brewer Doubles Through Mulder

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Chris Brewer checked to Teun Mulder on a turn on 7♣J♦8♥6♥. Mulder then added 230,000 chips to the already big pot of 335,000. Brewer made the call and the 5♣ river rolled off.

Brewer spent some time in the tank before front-shipping his stack of 630,000 in the middle. After Mulder took some time of his own to think it over, he put in the call, but mucked his cards once he saw the 10♣9♣ of Brewer open up, for the stone-cold nuts.

Mulder was left with just over 20 big blinds while Brewer soared up the leaderboard to be among the leaders.

Zhou is Heath-Ing Up In Three-Way All-In

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Quan Zhou had raised to 35,000 and Ben Heath then jammed the button for what appeared to be 415,000. Fahredin Mustafov went all-in over the top from the big blind and Zhou eventually called all-in.

Ben Heath: K♠J♠
Quan Zhou: J♣J♥
Fahredin Mustafov: A♠K♥

The pocket pair held on a board of 9♠7♦6♣10♦5♣ and Heath was eliminated, while Zhou doubled through Mustafov for 690,000. Having secured the pot, Zhou vaulted out of his chair and banged on the table in celebration.

Suvarna Takes From Heath; Loses to Ketzer

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Ben Heath in the big blind check-called a bet of 31,000 by Santhosh Suvarna on the button and they checked the 5♣ on the turn. Heath then bet the 4♦ river for 180,000 and Suvarna reluctantly called.

Heath showed his K♦3♥ but Suvarna had that beat with the A♥K♣.

"That's not what I was expecting," Fahredin Mustafov chimed in.

Suvarna leaped well above the starting stack but right after that lost a big pot to Felipe Ketzer when they had a big bet and call in after the J♦5♣3♦2♣ turn. The K♦ river was checked and Suvarna tabled Q♣Q♥, Ketzer had gotten there with the A♣K♥.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Teun Mulder bet the J♣4♥3♥A♠ turn for 125,000 and Ren Lin called, which led them to the 10♥ river. Mulder now fired a bet of 345,000 and Lin folded after some table chatter.
