"nkesi" No More

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 250 ante

China's "adeven333" had just doubled a shorter stack and then took on "nkesi" with {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} versus {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} in a battle button versus big blind.

Another setback seemed likely on the {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop and {5-Spades} turn but the {8-Spades} appeared on the river.

The current big stack at the table is Daniil "Dancer King" Kiselev.

The Guarantee Has Been Surpassed

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A steady stream of entries and re-entries throughout the last two hours has boosted the field to nearly 3,100 entries and that means the $1,500,000 guarantee has been surpassed. Some 2,272 players currently remain and the late registration is open for another two and a half hours.

Recent Eliminations Part III

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Among others, "tinchoarce" was sent to the rail on their first entry in the tournament when they took a flip with {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} against the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} of "(p/r)okSerj". The board came {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and the ace on the flop resulted in the seat open.

Many big names were among those to bust, too, as Christopher "lissi stinkt" Frank and Patrice "pAtcAsh83" Brandt for example bowed out on the third entry already.

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Nothing much has happened for Ben "Spraggy" Spragg on the second bullet nor Fintan "easywithaces" Hand on the first bullet as they are close to what they had the last 15 minutes.

On Spragg's table, "Cabeca Rush" was rushed out when they ran with {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} into the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} of "Sc0RPioN95" and found no help on a {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{a-Clubs} board.
