Break

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Another 20-minute break for the players. 22 remain out of a field of 46 entries (including 11 reentries).

Huber Triples, Nemeth Busts

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Down to 44,500 in chips, Stefan Huber shoved the hijack. Andras Nemeth, who busted, reentered, and had just sat down, shoved the button for about starting stack. Small blind Steve O'Dwyer shoved over the top and Davidi Kitai folded his big blind.

Stefan Huber: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Andras Nemeth: {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Steve O'Dwyer: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

Huber asked for a four but didn't get it. Still, since both of his opponents didn't hit and his hand wasn't counterfeited, he tripled: {7-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. O'Dwyer broke just about even on the hand as he got the remainder of Nemeth's stack.

Dvoress Dissolves Two

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Daniel_Dvoress
Daniel_Dvoress

Daniel Dvoress opened and both small blind Robert Skopalik as big blind Benjamin Pollak called.

The flop of {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} truly had something for everyone, and soon enough the chips would be in.

Skopalik lead for 18,000 and Pollak raised to 45,000 with just 500 behind. Dvoress called and Skopalik shoved for 165,000 or so. Pollak tossed in his 500-chip and Dvoress called to put them both at risk.

Robert Skopalik: {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Benjamin Pollak: {10-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Daniel Dvoress: {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Pollak asked the dealer to hit him with the turn slowly, and he obliged: {6-Hearts}. While the turn was still safe, the {10-Clubs} on the river wasn't and both Skopalik as Pollak exited the tournament area. Dvoress, meanwhile, plays close to 470,000 in chips now.

Schemion Misses Flush Draw, Hits Gutshot to Eliminated Dimov

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ognyan Dimov
Ognyan Dimov

Charlie Carrel opened under the gun for 8,000 on the six-handed table. Ole Schemion right next to him called and so did Ognyan Dimov on the button.

When both blinds got out of the way, the dealer dealt the flop of {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Carrel checked and Schemion bet 12,000. Dimov called and so did Carrel.

The {7-Diamonds} hit the turn and Carrel checked again. Schemion bet 32,000 and Dimov called. Carrel ran down his clock to 1 second before he folded.

The {J-Hearts} completed the board and Schemion shoved. We're unsure how much Dimov had behind at this point, but he called almost instantly.

Schemion showed {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for Broadway and Carrel said "Yes!" before apologizing to Dimov who showed {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and exited. Carrel later told Schemion he had {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and that he was happy he folded on the turn.

We picked up the action on the turn with the board reading {4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{K-Clubs} in a battle of the blinds.

Henrik Hecklen in the small blind bet 6,500 and Ryan Riess in the big blind called.

The {J-Hearts} completed the board and Hecklen checked. Riess bet 11,500 and Hecklen called. Riess showed {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Hecklen mucked.
