Matous Houzvicek has stepped up the aggression as play has gotten closer to the bubble. He has built his stack to over 400,000 now, in spite of losing a significant pot to Dmitriy Tsymbal on a 
board. Houzvicek check-called a river bet but mucked when he saw Tsymbal was holding 
for a flopped set.

Yovi Anahmias: 
Alexandr Sergutin: 
With a 
flop, Anahmias moved further into the lead. The 
turn gave him a set and he could only chop with one of eight straight outs. Unfortunately one fell on the 
river and he didn't win the pot he needed.
