Niveau 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Pablo Brito Silva moved all in for 43,000 and Kayhan Mokri called in the hijack.

Pablo Brito Silva: A♦6♣
Kayhan Mokri: A♥J♦

Mokri had Brito Silva dominated and moved further in front on the J♠5♥K♥ flop with a pair of jacks. Brito Silva was already preparing to make his exit by the time the 3♥ turn and 7♥ river fell.

"That's two Brazilians you busted," Felipe Ketzer told Mokri.

"I'm taking them out one by one," Mokri replied.

Conor Beresford raised to 10,000 from under the gun before Ren Lin looked down with a smile and went all in from the button with his trademark "No Gamble, No Future" patch. Lei Yu spent a few moments of consideration in the small blind before he jammed with more and both the big blind and Beresford thought better of it. Action was heads up and Lin was at risk.

Ren Lin: A♠Q♥
Lei Yu: K♣K♠

The board ran out 4♥9♥6♦2♥2♠ and the kings held to send Lin to the rail. There are currently 12 players remaining in the tournament.

The turn came the 10♠ and Mokri then led out for 5,000. Volkmann came back with a raise to 27,000 and Mokri quickly called.

Both players checked the Q♠ river and Mokri showed 10♥4♥ for two pair. Volkmann, though, had A♥10♦ for a better two pair to take down the pot.

Pablo Brito Silva took advantage of late registration on the break to fire his third bullet, but quickly fell to a short stack once again.

Brito Silva raised to 10,000 from early position and Thomas Eychenne called in the small blind.

The flop came Q♥6♠2♦ and Brito Silva bet 10,000. Eychenne called, then called another bet of 25,000 on the J♦ turn.

Eychenne checked the 4♥ river, and this time Brito Silva checked back. Eychenne turned over A♠A♣ and Brito Silva mucked.

Lost and Found: Poker Player Tries for 43 Days to Locate Missing Cat - What Happened?

Niveau 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Zach Gruneberg, a poker player from Pennsylvania with more than $2.2 million in lifetime tournament earnings, recently lost one of his cats, who escaped from his home while he was out in Las Vegas. What ensured was a frantic search-and-rescue effort that spanned a month and a half.

More specifically, it was a 43-day affair “through hell and back” according to Gruneberg, a five-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit ring winner, including back-to-back wins in the WSOP PA Online Series at the end of July.
Gruneberg, who is nine years clean and sober, is on Twitter as @HustlerGrune where it states he is both an anime addict and cat dad. One of those cats is a sleek gray feline named “Nook.”

“Nook is the only cat I've had since he was a kitten,” Gruneberg told PokerNews. “He is a super friendly high energy guy that loves to jump up into high places and play more so than any of my other cats.”

So, what’s the story behind Nook’s disappearance?
