Niveau 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Quan Zhou limped in with J♣10♣ from the small blind and called when Chris Brewer made it 280,000 with A♦9♥ from the big blind.

Zhou improved to top pair on the 10♥3♦2♠ flop and check-called for 185,000. The 8♦ turn checked through to the 10♦ river, giving Zhou trip tens.

Zhou led out for 600,000. Brewer decided to put on his cape and make the ace-high hero call, only to be shown the bad news.

Niveau 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The action folded to Ren Lin in the small blind, and he limped in. Francisco Benitez then checked his option in the big blind, and the two went off to a flop of 9♣6♥4♣, which they both checked.

The J♥ turn then saw Lin bet 100,000 and Benitez call before Lin made a bigger bet of 325,000 on the 2♥ river. Benitez spent one time bank extension before putting in the calling chips but mucked his hand once he saw Lin table 6♠4♦ for two pair.

Benitez was left with less than seven big blind after this encounter, making him the shortest stack of the tournament.

Niveau 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Francisco Benitez limped in from the small blind and Emil Bise checked his option in the big blind.

The Q♠J♦6♠ flop checked through to the 5♣ turn. Benitez check-called for 150,000 before the 3♠ river checked through to showdown.

Benitez had a monster with Q♥Q♦. Bise couldn't beat the set of queens and mucked.

The following hand, Daniel Dvoress opened to 160,000 from under the gun. Bise and Ben Heath called from the blinds.

Nobody took a stab on the 10♦7♥2♠ flop, which prompted Heath to bet 190,000 on the 5♣ turn. Only Dvoress called.

Both players checked the A♠ river. Dvoress mucked after Heath tabled his 10♠8♦.

Niveau 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel, with unscanned cards, limped in from the cutoff. Gab Yong Kim made it 260,000 with K♥10♦ from the button. The blinds got out of the way, and Kabrhel decided to reraise to 465,000 and was called.

On the Q♦9♥6♥ flop, Kabrhel led out for 195,000 and was called to beef the pot up to 1,500,000. The 8♦ turn gave Kim a double gutter, but he decided to let it go after Kabrhel moved all in for 1,100,000.

It was then revealed that Kabrhel had A♠A♥.

Ay-Yah, Mama Mia

Niveau 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ren Lin raised to 160,000 from under the gun and found a caller in Emil Bise in the hijack. Lin continued for 175,000 chips on the 6♦4♦8♣ flop and Bise made the call.

Lin sized up to 525,000 on the 9♣ turn and Bise promptly jammed all in for 1,835,000 chips. Several "Ay-yahs" and "Mama mias" later, Lin mucked his cards, shipping the pot Bise's way.

Afterward, Lin let his wrist be slapped by several players on the table as he was not happy with his betting behavior. "I can not control myself," he explained.

"I know," Daniel Dvoress, one of the wrist-slappers, replied compassionately.

Brewer Bringing the Heat

Calum_Grant

Niveau 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Chris Brewer opened to 160,000 with Q♣8♣ from early position. Santhosh Suvarna and Ioannis Angelou-Konstas called with A♦J♣ and 9♦8♥, respectively, from the blinds.

Brewer continued for 140,000 on the K♠10♠J♦ flop, and only Suvarna called. The 3♣ turn kept Suvaran ahead with his pair of jacks, and he checked. Brewer continued the aggression and bet 600,000, which got Suvarna to fold the best hand.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu moved all in for 790,000 from the cutoff. Santhosh Suvarna called from the button and the blinds folded.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: A♣Q♥
Santhosh Suvarna: 5♥5♣

Kisacikoglu remained ahead on the 10♣6♦10♥ flop and 3♥ turn but the 6♥ river counterfeited his hand for Suvarna to seal the pot and knockout.

Kabrhel threw out a little needle to Kisacikoglu as the latter left the table.

"I have never seen anything like it," said Kabrhel. "It really wasn't his day," he added.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

In the cutoff, Francisco Benitez opened to 1,000,000, leaving 60,000 behind. Dvoress put him all in, and Benitez put in his last few chips.

Francisco Benitez: A♠K♣
Daniel Dvoress: A♣5♥

Benitez was ahead and remained so after the K♦6♠5♣ flop, but the 5♦ turn and 5♠ river saw Dvoress improve to quads to seal the knockout.

"Wow," gasped Ren Lin. "That's how you win a tournament."
