"How Much Must He Hate Me?"

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

With 54,000 in the pot already on a flop of {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, Sam Grafton checked to Daniel Dvoress who bet 12,000. Grafton then check-raised all-in for 115,000 and Dvoress called.

Sam Grafton: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Daniel Dvoress: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

"How much must he hate me? How much must he dislike me to make that call?", joked Grafton as the cards were tabled.

The dealer must like Grafton though because nothing wild came as he put out the {7-Spades} and {9-Spades} on the turn and river to lock up the double up for the PokerStars Ambassador.

Gierse Out, Brewer In

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Marius Gierse was just seen leaving the tournament area and passing by the registration desk.

His former tablemates gave the details of how he was eliminated by Andras Nemeth.

Ole Schemion opened with a raise in the cutoff, and Gierse moved all-in from the small blind. Nemeth called from the big blind and Schemion folded.

Marius Gierse: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Andras Nemeth: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The board came {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, bringing no help to Gierse. Registration is open until the end of the one-hour dinner break after level ten, so he will have time to enter again should he choose.

Meanwhile, Chris Brewer has joined the field after his fourth place finish in the �50,000 Super High Roller.

Dvoress Slows Down Hissou

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Daniel Dvoress
Daniel Dvoress

Sirzat Hissou has held the chip lead most of the day, but he's recently lost it after a huge all-in pot with Daniel Dvoress.

Dvoress raised to 7,000 in the hijack and was three-bet by Hissou in the small blind to 21,000.

Dvoress came back over top all-in for 124,000 and Hissou called.

Daniel Dvoress: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Sirzat Hissou: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The board came {6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}, pairing Dvoress' ace on the flop to give him a double up through the now former chip leader.

Meanwhile the field has grown to 10 players in action with the addition of PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton at Table 1.

Dvoress Sends Chidwick to His Pocket

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Daniel Dvoress

After Sirzat Hissou raised to 7,000 in the hijack, Stephen Chidwick moved in for his last 16,000 from the cutoff. Daniel Dvoress called on the button, as did Hissou.

On the {j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, Hissou check-folded to a 12,000 chip bet from Dvoress to get heads-up with Chidwick.

Stephen Chidwick: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Daniel Dvoress: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Dvoress' kings were well ahead of Chidwick's eights and the {5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} runout sent Chidwick to the re-entry table for a fresh 100,000 chips.

Heath Picks Off Chidwick's Overbet, Nemeth on Bullet Two

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ben Heath

With a little under 20,000 in the pot with a river board of {9-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Ben Heath checked in the big blind to Stephen Chidwick, who bet 38,000, nearly double the size of the pot.

The bet left Chidwick just 9,000 behind, and after a couple of minutes of deliberation, that's all he had left as Heath made the call with {6-Spades}{4-Hearts} for two pair, jacks and fours to beat Chidwick's bluff with {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Meanwhile, at the other table, Andras Nemeth is on his second bullet after his ace-eight fell to Laszlo Bujtas' ace-nine
