Round Analysis: Stud 8

There were 21 hands of Stud 8 during the last level. Amnon Filippi doubled up on the first hand of the level to stay alive. Unfortunately, he would not last too much longer. His exit happened two hands later.

After that, Fitoussi had the other two players outchipped both by a margin of 5 to 1. On Hand #158, Fitoussi crippled John Hanson, who slipped to last place in chips.

For a split-pot format, there were no split pots during the level.

15-Minute Break

The players take a 15-minute break before the game switches to limit hold'em, with blinds of 80,000-150,000, and limits of 150,000-300,000. Official chip counts will be posted soon.
