Fox Beats Katz at Showdown

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Cary Katz had limped from under the gun and Elio Fox raised to 7,000 in the cutoff which Kahle Burns on the button and Peter Jetten in the small blind called. Katz made it four ways to the {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop and they checked around. Katz bet the {9-Hearts} turn for 11,900 and Fox was the only caller.

The {6-Diamonds} river was checked once more and Katz as the last aggressor tabled the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, Fox had that beat with {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

No Call for Huang

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Over on table seven, Timothy Adams, Sam Grafton and James Romero hold near identical stacks while Shan Huang has lost a lot of chips since the start. Huang just open-shoved from early position and picked up no caller.

"Just queens," he said in table chat with a smile on the face.

Greenwood Takes From O'Dwyer

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 3,500 in the cutoff and Sam Greenwood three-bet to 12,000 on the button, which O'Dwyer called. The flop came {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and O'Dwyer check-called a bet of 11,000 to check again the {j-Spades} on the turn. Greenwood now made it 40,000 and that won the pot right there.

Jiang Doubles Through Burns; Busts van Hoof

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Sosia Jiang faced a raise to 3,600 by Kahle Burns and three-bet to 9,500. Burns moved all in and Jiang called for 80,900.

Sosia Jiang: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Kahle Burns: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board came {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Jiang doubled.

Soon after, Jorryt van Hoof three-bet jammed into an open raise by Jiang and she asked for a count. The shove was for 37,200 and the call followed soon after.

Jorryt van Hoof: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Sosia Jiang: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

On a board of {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts}, van Hoof missed out on his two overcards and a flushdraw to hit the rail.

"I shouldn't have finished the massage," the A$25,000 PLO Event champion said on his way out.

Muehloecker Eliminated by Seidel

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Thomas Muehloecker lost the vast majority of his stack when his {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} ended up second best to Jamie Lee with the {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} as the board came {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Spades}.

Down to around 7,000, he was all in against fellow short stack Erik Seidel and trailed with the {10-Spades}{7-Spades} versus {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

The board brought {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{a-Hearts}{2-Spades} and that spelled the end for Muehloecker and reduced the field to the final 39 players.
