Niveau 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player limped in from early position, and Michel Molenaar came along before another opponent in middle position raised to 25,000. Scott Blumstein stuck in his last 14,000 from the button, Jamie Gold called in the small blind, while the early-position player then moved all in. Molenaar called for 152,000.

"This is such sick odds," the middle-position player said.

"Let me run it in the 5K bounty sim. There's probably some sick motherf**ker in here who's already done it," tablemate Taylor Wilson said. The middle-position player eventually folds ace-jack.

Scott Blumstein: 10♦10♠ All in
Michel Molenaar: A♠4♥ All in
Opponent: J♠J♦

Molenaar spiked two pair on the A♣9♣4♠ flop to take the lead, while the turn was the 6♦. The river came the A♥ and Molenaar improved to a full house to win the pot to both double up and knock out Blumstein.

Monica K

Niveau 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yuzhou Yin opened the action with a raise from early position, which was called by Jean-Robert Bellande and two other players.

The flop was 4♦2♣9♥ and action checked around. The dealer dealt out a 7♣. Yin checked again, this time Bellande bet out for 40,000. Yin was the only player that called the bet. The river was the J♦.

Yin checked once again and Bellande bet 50,000 into a pot of around 120,000. This was when Yin decided to make his big move, raising Bellande all-in for his remaining stack of over 200,000. Bellande thought for a minute and finally made the call.

Jean-Robert Bellande: J♣10♣ All in
Yuzhou Yin: 9♦9♣

The biggest pot of the night made Yin the overwhelming tournament chip leader.

Niveau 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Masato Yokosawa opened from early position to 10,000 and was shoved on by Tony Ruberto for 67,000 from the cutoff. When the action got back to Yokosawa, he made the call which put Ruberto at risk.

Tony Ruberto: Q♣Q♦ All in
Masato Yokosawa: 8♣8♥

No dice for Japan's Yokosawa, as the runout of 10♠4♣2♥10♥7♠ meant he was left with just 5,000 chips.

Shortly after, those last chips were sent across the table after Yokosawa was forced all in from the big blind and never managed to connect with the board.

Sriharsha Doddapaneni raised to 10,000 in early position before Michael Acevedo three-bet to 28,000 on the button. Doddapaneni then moved all in for around 100,000, and Acevedo snap-called.
