Vadzim Lipauka opened to 40,000 from under the gun and Daniel Dvoress called in middle position. Curtis Knight three-bet to 175,000 from the big blind and only Dvoress called.

The flop came 6♣3♥2♥ and Knight continued with a bet of 150,000. Dvoress jammed all in for 645,000 and Knight flicked in a chip to call.

Daniel Dvoress: 9♠9♥ All in
Curtis Knight: 10♠10♦

Knight had Dvoress pipped but the 10♥ on the turn made things interesting as Dvoress picked up a flush draw. It was the 5♣ on the river and Knight held on to eliminate Dvoress late in the night.

Scott Seiver opened the hijack and Daniel Zack called in the big blind.

On the 9♠7♦2♠ flop, Zack check-called a bet of 40,000 from Seiver.

Zack went into the tank for a little over a minute before he flicked in the call. He got the bad news as Seiver tabled J♥9♥ for flopped top pair as Seiver got extra value on the river from Zack.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Byron Kaverman opened 40,000 in the hijack before Fedor Holz three-bet 120,000 on the button. The action quickly folded back to Kaverman and he made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of 6♣5♥4♦, and Kaverman tapped the table. Holz thought about it for about 30 seconds before doing the same. When the K♣ fell on the turn, Kaverman checked again. This time Holz took about a minute before deciding to check.

The J♣ completed the board on the river and Kaverman checked for a final time. Holz eventually checked-back to see the A♦Q♦ of Kaverman before tabling A♥J♠ for a pair of jacks on the river.

Player	Chips	Progress
Fedor Holz	4,920,000 330,000	330,000

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action folded to Jean-Noel Thorel on the button who made it 50,000 to go. Dominykas Mikolaitis called from the big blind and the dealer fanned the flop of J♥5♥4♣.

Mikolaitis checked to Thorel who bet 45,000 and Mikolaitis just called to see the 9♥ on the turn. Both players checked and the 10♠ completed the board. Mikolaitis led out with a bet of 150,000 this time and Thorel quickly looked him up.

Mikolaitis rolled over 6♠2♠ for a missed straight draw while Thorel showed 9♦8♣ for the best hand.
