Niveau 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Anthony Cierco had opened from the button and Wing Po Liu three-bet from the small blind to 63,000. Cierco called.

On the 2♦3♣A♣ flop, Liu continued with a bet of 32,000, and Cierco made the call.

A 6♥ fell on the turn and Liu fired again, this time for 60,000. Cierco took his time but once again he made the call.

The board-pairing 2♥ landed on the river and Liu slowed down with a check, and Cierco quickly checked behind.

Liu flipped over K♥K♠ but was behind to the A♠10♣ of Cierco who had flopped an ace.

The full board of 4♥A♠K♦9♠J♥ was on board and Samy Dubonnet had fired a bet of 60,000 into the big-stacked David Gonzalez. It took a while before Gonzalez made a decision and he did so by throwing a single chip into the pot which signified a call.

Dubonnet quickly tabled A♥J♣ for two pair and Gonzalez mucked.

Niveau 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Eddy Sabat raised to 15,000 on the button and Alex Foxen called from the big blind.

The flop of Q♣K♣5♥ was checked by both players and the 6♠ revealed itself on the turn. Foxen led out with a bet of 32,000, and Sabat called.

A board-pairing Q♥ completed the board and Foxen took his time before he made a bet of 27,000. Sabat thought for just a moment before he flicked in the call.

"King," announced Foxen.

"Me too. Chop?" said Sabat.

Sabat knew it was unlikely to be a chop as he sheepishly turned over K♦3♦ whilst Foxen flipped up K♠J♣ and took the pot with a better kicker.

Niveau 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

John Juanda has hovered with a sub-20 big blind stack over the past few levels, but the Poker Hall of Famer found a good spot to double up in a battle of the blinds.

After Joshua Hopkins, one of the largest stacks remaining in the field, announced an all-in bet from the small blind, Juanda snap-called with his remaining 81,000 to put his tournament at risk.

John Juanda: 10♣10♠ All in
Joshua Hopkins: J♥8♥

The dealer ran out 6♣9♣4♥Q♦3♥ to give Juanda a much-needed boost to his stack. The loss put a slight dent on Hopkins’ large chip stack.

Joshua Hopkins	1,459,000 81,000	81,000
