The action folded around to Sam Soverel in the small blind who ripped all in for 1,150,000. Martin Kabrhel was in the big blind and called it off to put Soverel at risk.
Sam Soverel: A♠5♦
Martin Kabrhel: K♦4♣
The flop fell 8♠5♠4♥ and both players flopped a pair, Soverel's being the better of the two. The 7♥ on the turn changed nothing, but the K♥ on the river gave Kabrhel two pair to eliminate Soverel.
Stephen Chidwick raised to 160,000 from middle position and was called by Dustin Bailey in late position and Artur Martirosian on the button.
Chidwick led out for a bet of 170,000 on a flop of 6♦A♦J♠ and was called by Bailey, while Martirosian folded.
The two players would go heads up to the 9♠ turn, with Chidwick continuing the pressure in the form of a bet of 575,000. The response from Bailey was to raise enough to put Chidwick all-in, which Chidwick called immediately.
Stephen Chidwick: J♥J♦
Dustin Bailey: K♦Q♦
Bailey would need a ten or any diamond to outdraw the set of jacks of Chidwick, but it would not come to pass as the dealer put out the A♥ on the river, giving Chidwick the doube-up.
David Einhorn opened to 160,000 from under the gun and Martin Kabrhel three-bet to 500,000 in the small blind. Einhorn four-bet shoved all in for 2,025,000 and Kabrhel asked for a count before making the call.
David Einhorn: A♦J♦
Martin Kabrhel: A♠K♦
Kabrhel was in a dominating position with the better of the two aces. The board ran out 10♠7♠4♥8♠5♥ and Einhorn was unable to find any help on the runout.
Players are going on their second scheduled break of the day and will return shortly to Level 13 with blinds at 40,000/80,000 and an 80,000 big blind ante.
On the last hand before the break, Phil Hellmuth and Martin Kabrhel had a large portion of their chips in the middle preflop. The flop came 9♠7♦5♦ and Hellmuth stuck in the last of his 300,000 chips in the middle on the button. Kabrhel called from the big blind and the hands were tabled.
Phil Hellmuth: J♣J♦
Martin Kabrhel: 8♠8♥
The 9♦ on the turn and the K♦ on the river improved Hellmuth to a flush in order to double-up.
"Well played Phil," Kabrhel needled afterward. "Suck out."
Chris Brewer raised from middle position to 140,000 and was three-bet to 500,000 by James Chen on the button. Brewer called and fireworks ensued.
The dealer put out an all-spade board, consisting of the A♠5♠2♠ and Brewer checked over to Chen, who put out a bet of 300,000. Brewer responded with a check-raise to 700,000 and Chen then three-bet to 1,600,000, which Brewer called.
"Check," said Brewer.
"Did you just check in the dark?" asked Chen.
"Yes," said Brewer.
The turn brought the Q♠ and Chen moved all in, with Brewer snap calling.
Chris Brewer: A♦J♠
James Chen: 10♥9♥
The river 8♣ would be inconsequential as Chen was drawing dead to Brewer's flush.
"You gave me two opportunities to quit bluffing, but I just couldn't do it," laughed Chen.
In the very next hand, Brandon Steven raised to 140,000 from middle position and Chen called from late position.
Both players checked the 6♠Q♥J♠ flop and Steven lead out for 140,000 on the Q♠ turn, getting a call from Chen. Steven checked the 4♠ river and Chen put out a bet of 300,000, resulting in a frustrated fold from Steven.
Dan Smith and Espen Jorstad were heads up in a three-bet pot with the flop reading A♦Q♥2♥. Smith checked from the hijack and Jorstad stuck in a bet from the cutoff. Smith check-raised to 810,000 and Jorstad called.
The turn was the 8♠ and Smith led out with a bet of 600,000. Jorstad still called and the 2♠ paired the board on the river. Smith announced a bet of 1,500,000 on the river, leaving just a few chips behind. Jorstad used a time bank but eventually dumped his cards to the muck.
