Hussen Busts Perceval and Kornik

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We missed the action but arrived at the table to see Ruben Perceval and Lily Kornik standing up and both of their stacks headed towards Adam Hussen.

In front of Hussen lay {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and a {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs} board. Perceval had tabled {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Kornik busted with {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, both unable to find enough help from the board.

Podstawka Doubles Into Double Chip Lead

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Peter Chien opened to 10,000 from the cutoff and Adam Podstawka three-bet to 25,000 on the button. Samuel Roussy-Majeau four-bet to 53,000 out of the big blind and just Podstawka made the call.

The flop was {6-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Roussy-Majeau continued with a bet of 30,000. Podstawka called and the {k-Clubs} fell on the turn.

Both players check to see the {5-Clubs} complete the board on the river and Roussy-Majeau moved a stack of 85,000 into the middle, covering Podstawka.

Podstawka took a minute before making the call.

Roussy-Majeau tried to muck but during an all-in showdown, both hands must be tabled. Roussy-Majeau's hand was turned over, revealing {q-Spades}{10-Spades} and Podstawka tabled {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} to score a massive double up, right into the chip lead.

A race for Johnston's tournament life was underway and a clean {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Spades} board ran out to keep Johnston in contention.
