Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Aliaksei Boika
Aliaksei Boika

Aliaksei Boika opened to 3,000 from middle position, receiving a call from Artur Wasek, on the button.

Boika continued for 3,500 on the 9?8?K? flop. Wasek chose to see a turn.

The J? fell and Boika bet out again, this time for 7,000. Wasek was undettered.

The river landed the 10? and Boika bet 35,000; an effective all-in with just 500 behind. Wasek snap-called. Boika tabled A?7? for the nut flush, while Wasek folded the Q? face up.

Wasek could be seen leaving the tournament floor shortly afterwards.

Kim Eliminated, Lee Quadruples

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Hwany Lee
Hwany Lee

De Han Kim kicked off the action by making a raise to 12,600 from under the gun, leaving only 600 chips behind. Petr Kubenka then called from middle position before Hwany Lee jammed his 13,900 stack in the middle from the button.

The chips were not done flying yet, as big blind Nuno Duarte fired in his stack of 115,000 chips as well. Kubenka, who played less than Duarte, thought about it for a bit before folding his hand, which he later claimed was ace-king. The other three players showed down.

De Han Kim: A?3?
Hwany Lee: Q?Q?
Nuno Duarte: A?K?

The 9?2?10? flop helped no one, but the A? turn saw Duarte take a gigantic lead. Both Lee and Kim stood up to leave, but the Q? river made Lee sit back down as he hit his set at the last moment.

He quadrupled up while Kim was sent to the exit just before the dinner break.

Kamel Rivers Ace to Bust Mihelsons

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tamer Kamel raised from late position, Davis Mihelsons three-bet to 8,500 from the button and Kamel four-bet to 28,000. Mihelsons moved all in and Kamel called. Mihelsons was at risk as players flipped their cards.

Davis Mihelsons: 9?9?
Tamer Kamel: A?Q?

The board ran out 8?10?J?J?A?. Mihelsons looked good on the flop, picking up a straight draw along with his pocket nines. Kamel, however, paired his ace on the river to win the pot and bring his stack up to around 200,000, while Mihelsons was left with nothing.

Autran Eliminates Lazar in Two Hands

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jean Autran got his stack of 17,500 in preflop against Adrian Lazar.

Jean Autran: A?J?
Adrian Lazar: A?K?

Autran flopped a jack on J?6?9? to take the lead. The Q? turn brought some chop outs, but the 7? river was a blank and Autran was awarded the pot.

Lazar got up, ready to go, but he was notified that he had 3,000 chips still in his possession. Those went in the next hand, and again it was Autran who looked him up.

Adrian Lazar: K?7?
Jean Autran: A?7?

This time, the dominating hand would hold on the 10?2?9?9?5? runout, sending Lazar home.
