Jetten Felts Siow

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Down to the last 51,000, Choon Tong Siow pushed in middle position and was called by Peter Jetten on the button.

Choon Tong Siow: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Peter Jetten: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Siow found no help on the {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Spades} board and joined the rail in 15th place.

"I had the same hand," Timothy Adams said in table chat and Jetten replied "that would have been even better."

Wang Doubles Through Bicknell

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yong Wang was one of the shorter stacks once two tables was reached, and was all in for {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} against the {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} of Kristen Bicknell.

"Lucky hand!" said Wang to his rail, but there was nothing for him to worry about on the {k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{6-Spades} board and he doubled up.

Van Blarcum Eliminated by Soyza

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Aaron van Blarcum
Aaron van Blarcum

Michael Soyza raised and called the shove of Aaron van Blarcum from one seat over.

Aaron van Blarcum: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Michael Soyza: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

The {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop gave van Blarcum a gutshot but both the {9-Hearts} turn and {3-Clubs} river were of no help, reducing the field to the final 15 hopefuls.

Addamo Chops With Greenwood; Doubles Seidel

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Aaron van Blarcum raised to 9,000 and Michael Addamo three-bet to 22,500. Sam Greenwood on the button four-bet to 56,000 and that forced out van Blarcum, Addamo moved all in and Greenwood called for around 400,000 as two of the bigger stacks clashed.

Sam Greenwood: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Michael Addamo: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Addamo was freerolling on the {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop and spiked a flush draw on the {8-Clubs} turn, however, the {2-Hearts} river ensured a split pot.

One hand later, Erik Seidel made it 9,000 to go from under the gun and van Blarcum called in the small blind. Addamo glanced at both stacks and jammed in the big blind, Seidel called and van Blarcum folded.

Erik Seidel: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Michael Addamo: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop gave Addamo a pair but Seidel turned a set with the {k-Spades} to make the {10-Diamonds} river a formality. Seidel doubled for 132,500 to put a dent into the big stack of Addamo.

Kempe Doubles Through Soyza

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Rainer Kempe
Rainer Kempe

Rainer Kempe would need to win a flip with {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} against the {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} of opponent Michael Soyza.

Kempe was all in for 99,000 and hit his ace on the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop. The turn was the {10-Spades} and the river the {j-Diamonds} giving the appearance that the pot was a chop.

However, Kempe had rivered a flush - the second nuts, as pointed out by tablemate Sam Greenwood - and doubled up.

The two shortest stacks remaining in the field clashed as Alex Foxen was all in and Rainer Kempe reshoved from one seat over.

Alex Foxen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Rainer Kempe: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Foxen picked up a straight draw on the {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop but failed to catch anything on the {3-Hearts} turn and {j-Hearts} river. Foxen departed in 17th place and the remaining 16 hopefuls will be balanced on two tables shortly.

Adams Catches Kisacikoglu Bluffing

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Three ways to the {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, Erik Seidel checked his option out of the big blind and Timothy Adams made it 9,000 to go in the hijack. Orpen Kisacikoglu made the call on the button and Seidel made it three ways to the {8-Hearts} turn.

Seidel checked once more and Adams now bet 40,000, which prompted Kisacikoglu to use a time bank extension before he made the call. Seidel quickly folded and the remaining duo headed to the {5-Clubs} on the river. Now it was Adams that took advantage of a time bank extension and he then checked, Kisacikoglu used another time bank extension and bet 70,000, Adams instantly tossed in a single chip for the call.

Kisacikoglu tabled {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a busted straight and flush draw while Adams raked in the big pot with {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for top pair and top kicker.
