Cary Katz (pictured) was the only caller to Sergi Reixach's preflop raise to 60,000. The flop of 
got all the chips into the middle as Katz moved all-in and was called by Reixach.
Katz had the second nut flush draw with 
but needed plenty of help from the deck as Reixach had 
. He announced that he'd "take a chop", hoping for a queen, but his luck was in further than that as he turned the flush after the 
landed. The river of 
completed the hand and saw Katz double right back into contention.

Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
With the final table under way, all nine players are hoping not to be the first player to vacate the table and play has begun cautiously.
One player who has got off to a strong start is Cary Katz. He raised from under the gun to 50,000 preflop and got a call from Stephen Chidwick in the big blind. The flop came 
and Katz c-bet 98,000 to take it down.
Mustapha Kanit has enjoyed the best of the opening half-dozen hands, however. He got his additional chips from Daniel Colman, who until that point had been using his chip lead to raise and take a few stacks. In this particular hand, however, he lost some to the Italian. Kanit's early position raise in the next seat to Colman was called by the former Big One for One Drop winner, who sat in the big blind.
The flop of 
saw Kanit c-bet to 40,000 which was called. The turn of 
was checked by both men, but the 
river saw Colman lead out for 125,000. A chunky bet, and Kanit took his time, but eventually called to see that Colman only had ace-high, while Kanit held 
and they were good enough to scoop a decent pot.
