Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Dragos Trofimov and Shundan Xiao built a pot of around 30,000 as they went heads-up to the 9♦6♠5♥ flop. Xiao then led out for 5,000 from the small blind, Trofimov raised to 17,000 on the button, and Xiao called.

Both players checked the 10♦ turn and the J♦ fell on the river. Xiao then bet 25,000.

Trofimov spent more than a minute pondering the decision before he raised to 90,000. Xiao instantly mucked her cards and Trofimov took the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Yannick Capocetti opened 3,000 in the cutoff and both the small blind and Michael Debs in the big blind made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of J♠J♦8♠ and the small blind check-folded to a bet of 3,000 from Capocetti, but Debs check-called.

The 10♦ fell on the turn, and Debs checked to Capocetti who continued with aggression as he tossed two red chips across the line for a bet of 10,000. Debs stuck around once again.

The dealer dropped the 4♥ on the river, and both players tapped the table. Debs rolled 10♣9♣ for an open-ended straight draw that turned a ten, and Capocetti mucked his hand.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player opened to 3,000 from under the gun and was called by a player in early position. A player in middle position then three-bet to 11,000 only to see Hannes van Wauwe four-bet jam for 26,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back around to the middle position player, who quickly called with the covering stack.

Hannes van Wauwe: A♥K♣ All in
Middle Position Player: Q♥Q♦

van Wauwe would need to win a flip to survive but could not do so as the board ran out 8♦7♣8♠J♠Q♠ to improve his opponent to a full house, leaving van Wauwe heading to the exits.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with roughly 41,000 in the pot with the board showing 2♣9♦8♠.

Michael Soyza is the big blind bet out 16,000, and Yuebin Guo in early position raised to 66,000. After spending over a minute thinking about his decision, Soyza made the call.

After the K♥ on the turn Soyza checked to Guo who bet all in for 65,500. This sent Soyza in the tank for nearly three minutes, before he mucked his cards and gave the pot to Guo.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The flop read 7♦4♦4♣. From the hijack, Soenke Jahn bet 2,500. Chris Moneymaker was in the small blind and raised to 7,500. Jahn three-bet to 13,000 and Moneymaker quickly four-bet piled all in for 25,000. Jahn took a few moments before he called to put Moneymaker at risk.

Chris Moneymaker: Q♦9♦ All in
Soenke Jahn: A♥7♣

Moneymaker was looking for a diamond as the turn was the J♥ and the river the 4♥. Jahn pounded the table and let out a "yes!" in celebration as the 2003 Main Event champ was forced to walk away as there will not be a deep run for him in this edition of the biggest poker tournament of the year.
