The turn brought the A♠ and Richardson checked again. Wasserson dropped in a bet of 100,000 and Richardson used one of his time banks before ripping all in for around 365,000. Wasserson snap-called and the cards were tabled.

Daemon Richardson: A♥J♥
Eric Wasserson: K♣Q♦

"Ahh shit," Richardson exclaimed as he saw the bad news. The 3♣ bricked out on the river and Wasserson held on to eliminate Richardson and advance to the next round.

Niveau 31 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Gabor Szabo opened to 32,000 preflop and Chanracy Khun called from the big blind.

Khun check-called a 16,000 bet from Szabo on the 10♥3♣J♦ flop. On the 9♥ turn Khun once again check-called versus his opponent, this time for 70,000.

Both players checked on the 6♠ river.
