Hand 72 - 73: Benjamin Buhr Eliminated in 3th Place (�242,390)

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Benjamin Buhr

Hand 72: Parlafes in the small blind had just eight-three and gave Dimov a walk in his big blind.

Hand 73: Parlafes folded his {K-Hearts}{6-Clubs} on the button and action was on Dimov.

The Bulgarian player limped in with {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} from the small blind. Buhr had {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} in the big blind you could already tell what was going to happen. Buhr raised it up to 325,000 with about 3 million behind.

Dimov had 3.4 million and limp re raised to 700,000.

Benjamin Buhr thought for a little bit, chip riffled some, and then announced all in. He was beat into the pot by Dimov.

The 5,930,000 pot would go to Dimov. The 6% equity Buhr had, materialized not into a win. The {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{J-Diamonds} on the flop had something for both, but Buhr was in a even more pesky spot now. The {5-Spades} on the turn decided it, Buhr was drawing dead. The {2-Clubs} on the river was there just for good measures.

"Do you cover?" asked Buhr. The answer was yes, and so the Frenchman left in third place netting �243,390. Heads up now between Buhr and Dimov with �543,700 for first and �338,700 for the runner up.

Hands 70-71: Buhr Doubles Through Dimov

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Benjamin Buhr

Hand 70: Dany Parlafes held {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and he limped from the button. Ognyan Dimov completed from the small blind with {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Benjamin Buhr checked {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts} from the big blind.

All three players checked down a flop of {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts} and a turn of {Q-Clubs}. The {2-Diamonds} came down on the river and Dimov checked a third time. Buhr bet 150,000 and Parlafes let his cards go. Dimov called with his pair of deuces but they were no good against Buhr's queens.

Hand 71: Dimov limped his button and Buhr moved all in for 1.42 million from the small blind it folded back to Dimov and he instantly called.

Dimov: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Buhr: {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

Dimov was in a dominating position with his pocket queens, but Buhr quickly took the lead after the {A-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop hit the felt. The {7-Clubs} fell on fourth street, meaning Buhr needed only to fade a queen on the river in order to stay alive. The {5-Diamonds} fell on the river, allowing Buhr to double up to 2.79 million.

Last Two Hands Before Break

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hand 68: Benjamin Buhr received a walk in the big blind.

Hand 69: Ognyan Dimov flatted from the button with {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and found a check from Dany Parlafes with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} in the big blind. The duo watched as a flop of {5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} hit the felt. Parlafes led for 200,000 and Dimov got out of the way.

The final three players are now taking an unscheduled break. Play will resume in approximately 17 minutes.

Hand 64 - 67: Buhr Getting Shorter and Shorter

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hand 64: Benjamin Buhr had the button but folded his {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Parlafes dound {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} in the small blind and completed. Ognyan Dimov checked his {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}.

{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} on the flop and Parlafes bet out. Dimov folded instantly.

Hand 65: Parlafes opened the button to 225,000 with {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Dimov found {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} in the small blind but folded after looking left and right. Buhr in the big blind woke up with {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and just called.

Buhr checked to Parlafes on {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. The Romanian made a 250,000 continuation bet. Buhr check raised to 600,000 even. Parlafes leaned forward to check Buhr's stack, played a little with his blue 100,000 plaques, and went into the tank. Parlafes had wild plans it seemed, but in the end he decided against it and just folded.

Hand 66: Dimov folded his button and Benjamin Buhr completed from the small blind with {K-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Dany parlafes found {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} in the big blind and checked.

{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts} on the flop and Buhr bet his bottom pair for 125,000. Parlafes had middle pair and threw in three 100,000 plaques. Buhr added the 225,000 and saw a turn: {10-Clubs}.

Buhr now checked and Parlafes checked behind so the pot stayed 830,000. The {3-Clubs} on the river meant a flush for Parlafes. Buhr bet out 500,000 and Parlafes made the call.

Hand 67: Benjamin Buhropened the button for 200,000 with {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Dimov in the big blind made the call holding {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

The flop came {5-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Spades} and Dimov checked. Buhr with top pair and top kicker bet 225,000. Dimov with the flush draw made the call.

The {8-Clubs} gave Dimov an open ended on top of his flush draw and he checked. Buhr bet another 350,000 with 1.1 million behind. Dimov made the call.

1,630,000 in the pot at that point and the {Q-Hearts} fell on the river giving Dimov the straight. The Bulgarian player announced all in and the big decision was on Buhr. Would he fold, he would have to continue with 11 big blinds.

Buhr thought about it for a fair bit, even at one point glancing at Dimov's legs/feet to see if he could get a tell. Dimov seemed not at ease at all, which would be a reverse tell if he was doing it consciously.

Buhr eventually folded and the big pot went to Dimov. "Show a bluff" said Buhr, but Dimov didn't comply.
