Taylor von Kriegenbergh opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Leonardo Rizzo called on the button. In the big blind, Tom-Aksel Bedell three-bet to 125,000 before Von Kriegenbergh folded. Rizzo then back-jammed all-in as the covering stack and Bedell called it off for 720,000.

It was a coinflip scenario until the Q63 flop vaulted Rizzo into the lead and it stayed that way on the K10 runout as Bedell hit the rail late in the evening

Wasserson Fades Kisacikoglu

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

Jason Velasco raised first to act, Orpen Kisacikoglu called in the hijack, Igor Pihela called in the cutoff, Chris Moneymaker called on the button, and Eric Wasserson called in the big blind.

"Wow! No respect," lamented Velasco as his raise was called by not one, not two, not three, but four opponents.

No less than five players to the K98 flop, the action checked to Kisacikoglu who jammed for his remaining 180,000. Pihela and Moneymaker folded before Wasserson rejammed and Velasco folded.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: Q10 All in
Eric Wasserson: J8

Both players held club flush draws, but Kisacikoglu had the better one and a gutshot, while Wasserson had the lone pair. The board bricked off AK as Wasserson held to score the elimination.

Unlu Spikes the River to Bust Greenwood

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

In a blind versus blind battle, Sam Greenwood led out for 70,000 on a flop of 952 and Sinan Unlu raised to 150,000 in the big blind. Greenwood then moved all in and Unlu called.

Sam Greenwood: 1010 All in
Sinan Unlu: 98

The stacks were counted down and Unlu had 355,000 remaining. He barely had Greenwood covered and Greenwood was sent to the rail.
