Unlucky Runout for Watabe

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Daisuke Ogita jammed in the hijack and Kiwamu Watabe asked for a count on the button. After the dealer let him know it was 42,500, he moved all in as well, forcing the blinds out of the pot.

Daisuke Ogita: A4 All in
Kiwamu Watabe: 1010

Ogita was looking for an ace and that's exactly what he got on the AJ8 flop. Watabe was unable to find one of the remaining tens as the board completed with the J turn and 8 river.

Jeremie Zouari
Jeremie Zouari

With a bit over 20,000 in the pot on a turn board of A77K, Akseli Hosia check-called a bet of 8,000 from the big blind by Jeremie Zouari in the cutoff.

On the river Q, Hosia checked again and now faced a bet of 38,000. Hosia used three time banks before making the call.

Zouari showed KK for a full house to take down the sizeable pot.

No Luck for Ko

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dongwoo Ko
Dongwoo Ko

Alexander Ivarsson opened 8,000 in the cutoff and Dongwoo Ko jammed for about 25,000 from the big blind. Ivarsson wasted no time making the call and both hands were tossed on their backs.

Dongwoo Ko: KJ All in
Alexander Ivarsson: A9

The A42 flop was a rough one for Ko, leaving him needing runner-runner. The Q turn brought a slimmer of hope as he picked up a gutshot straight draw but the Q river was no good, sending him out of the tournament.

Margereson Hits the Rail

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Scott Margereson
Scott Margereson

Kiwamu Watabe limped the small blind and called the jam of about 35,000 from Scott Margereson in the big blind.

Scott Margereson: A4 All in
Kiwamu Watabe: K10

Margereson was briefly ahead with ace-high but the king came in the window as the dealer fanned the K96 flop to give Watabe a pair of kings. The K turn meant Margereson was drawing dead as he stood up from the table and the A river was just a formality.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Sam Greenwood
Sam Greenwood

Sam Greenwood raised all in on the button for 28,500 and after hearing "Welcome to my company," from Ren Lin in the small blind, Lin called to put Greenwood at risk.

Sam Greenwood: K9All in
Ren Lin: AK

The flop came Q103 bringing no help to Greenwood, nor did the 3 on the turn.

Greenwood then playfully pitched his nine at the board as the dealer placed the river card, and the 9 appeared there for him to score the double up.

Stoyan Madanzhiev
Stoyan Madanzhiev

Stoyan Madanzhiev opened 6,000 in the hijack and Alexander Ivarsson defended the big blind.

Both players checked to the J1085 turn, where Ivarsson led for 13,000. Madanzhiev thought about it for a few moments and made the call.

The J landed on the river, and Ivarsson took 25 seconds before putting out a bet of 35,000. Madanzhiev tank-called, leaving just 6,000 behind.

Ivarsson tabled Q3 for a flopped flush, and Madanzhiev showed the J before mucking his other card.

Madanzhiev was seen exiting the table shortly after.
