Conan Doubles Through Ruida

Level 7 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Arthur Conan opened under the gun with a raise to 4,500 which was met with a three-bet to 12,000 by Lin Ruida on the button.

Conan called, then checked a flop of {9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, which Ruida bet for 7,000. Conan came back with a check-raise to 15,000 and after some audible deliberation and frustration, Ruida decided to move all-in for a little over 62,000 effective. Conan called with the goods.

Arthur Conan: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Lin Ruida: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Conan's straight would hold up through the {8-Hearts}{a-Clubs} runout, giving him the double up and taking another chunk out of Ruida's stack.

Meanwhile, Niklas Astedt has joined the field, bringing the number of entries to 24.

Pardo Left Short, Eliminated, Re-Enters

Level 6 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After Juan Pardo saw himself lose most of his stack with a flush draw against Ole Schemion's pair and a better flush draw, Pardo pushed his last 12,000 chips forward versus Stephen Chidwick.

Juan Pardo: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Stephen Chidwick: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The {q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop paired Chidwick's queen, and the {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} runout couldn't save Pardo who had to dig into his pocket for another €25,000 to re-enter the tournament.
