Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Boubekeur Benhalima
Boubekeur Benhalima

Boubekeur Benhalima had a decision to make when Toan Nguyen had put him all in on the {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{Q-Spades} board. Benhalima opted for the call and he was at risk for his tournament life with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Nguyen had the better hand holding {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}.

The river was a complete brick and Benhalima was sent to the rail on the final table bubble.

Daniyar Aubakirov raised from the cutoff to 12,000. Paul Berende sat on the button and he moved all in. Everybody got out of the way except for Aubakirov who called.

Van Zijp Runs Into Aces

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Danny van Zijp was involved in a pretty sizeable pot against Matias Knaapinen where Van Zijp had {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Knaapinen was playing {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} and Van Zijp needed to come from behind if he wanted to win Knaapinen his bounty.

The board fell {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and Van Zijp hit his nine, but that was not enough.

He doubled up in the next hand with {K-Spades}{9-Spades} against the {9-Hearts}{7-Spades} of Cem Degirmenci after the board ran out clean for Van Zijp.
