Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Alex Keating opened the action with a raise to 5,000 from middle position and Dan Laidlaw responded with a shove for around 40,000 from the next seat. It folded back to Keating who asked for a count, but then called before an exact amount was given.

Dan Laidlaw: A♥K♦
Alex Keating: 10♦10♣

The flip went to Keating thanks to a board of Q♣5♣4♥8♣3♦ and he then jokingly mentioned "I won five out of five flips today, my mum would have 500k now, I am playing so bad".

Timo Kamphues replied "I have never seen you lose a flip" before they carried on with more table chatter.

Aliaksandr Yarosh raised to 5,500 from under the gun on a table with, among others, Bryn Kenney and several of the larger stacks in the Main Event. [Removed:471] made it 16,000 to go from the next seat over and Yarosh obliged with a call.

Yarosh showed A♣K♠ for the winning hand as Emig tabled A♠Q♦ for a lesser ace-high.

One hand later, Emig opened to 5,000 from under the gun and got Bryn Kenney and Ihar Soika to come along with him. The trio went on to check the flop of 7♣K♠10♣ before Emig fired 15,000 on the 9♥ turn.

Kenney made the call while Soika got out of the way. The 9♣ river was then checked again and Emig tabled K♥10♥ for two pair. Kenney's cards hit the muck as he fell to a stack of 30 big blinds.

Jorgne opted to check and Amiri cut out a bet worth 50,000. That was enough to win the pot uncontested, as the Swede mulled it over for a half a minute to then fold.

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On the tail end of a K♣K♥Q♣5♣6♥ board, Ihar Soika bet 20,500 in the small blind. Fellow big stack Sergio Coutinho called in the big blind but quickly mucked his cards when Soika revealed the K♠8♠ for flopped trip kings.

Both players are among the current chip leaders and Soika may very well surpass half a million in chips if he continues the hot run for the day.

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joao Sydenstricker opened to 5,000, Aleksejs Ponakovs called, and action folded to Daan Mulders on the button.

He reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 18,000. Sydenstricker folded, but Ponakovs reached for more chips and produced a four-bet to 34,000.

The preflop action wasn't done there yet, as Mulders was not to be taken off his hand, reaching for chips and putting out a bet of 55,000. Ponakovs called.

On the 7♠9♥6♥ flop, Ponakovs moved all in and Mulders called off his remaining 55,000, with Mulders at risk.

Daan Mulders: Q♥Q♣
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♥J♥

Mulders was ahead with his overpair of queens but Ponakovs had plenty of outs with his flush draw.

The 7♥ rolled off on the turn to complete Ponakovs' flush, leaving Mulders drawing to a queen, and that did not arrive on the 6♠ river, sending him to the exit.

Nível 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Heads-up on a flop of J♣Q♠2♣, David McConachie bet 11,000 from the big blind and Yanfeng Wang called in the hijack.

The turn was the 8♥ and McConachie moved all in. Wang thought about it for around 20 seconds before calling for 50,000 more.

McConcahie showed J♠J♥ for a set and Wang turned over A♣Q♣ for top pair and the nut flush draw. The river was the A♦ and Wang could only make a no-good two pair as McConachie sent him to the rail.

"I thought he was going to be drawing dead when he called. I wasn't expecting that," McConachie said as he stacked up the pot.
