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

The cards were all but rushed away as a larger double was sent over to Tobias Matuschek. It appears that the German was all-in with A♦K♣ versus 4♣4♥ and he spiked a king right away on the flop to double.

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

Karthik Ramakrishnan was all in for his last 33,000 from the cutoff and up against an opponent in early position.

Karthik Ramakrishnan: J♦J♠ All in
Opponent: 8♣8♦

The board ran out 9♥10♠5♣Q♥4♣ and Ramakrishnan's jacks stayed in the lead to earn him a double up.

A few hands later, a player in the cutoff raised to 4,000 before Ramakrishnan three-bet to 12,000 in the small blind. His opponent then moved all in for 34,000 and Ramakrishnan called.

All-In Player: J♣J♠ All in
Karthik Ramakrishnan: Q♠Q♦

Ramakrishnan was up against jacks this time, but he again had the higher pocket pair as his opponent didn't find any help on the A♦4♦5♥9♠K♠ board. Ramakrishnan took down another pot to send his opponent to the rail and increase his stack past 100,000 in just two hands.

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

Waheed Ashraf had seen his stack plummet to around 30,000 before the dinner break but he has since added some chips. In the latest hand, the Brit was all-in for 56,000 on the A♠10♣7♣7♠ turn while on the button. His sole remaining opponent in the hijack sensed he was being out-kicked and eventually folded the A♣Q♦.

"Why did you fold that?" Ashraf asked and then slid his cards towards his opponent, asking the dealer "can he look at them?"

The dealer replied "you can show them" and Ashraf indeed rolled over the A♦K♥.

Men Nguyen made it 4,000 to go from under the gun and got two callers from the cutoff and the big blind.

On the J♥3♠6♥ flop, it checked to Nguyen who fired 10,000, and only the big blind called.

When the 4♥ landed on the turn, the big blind led out for 7,000, and Nguyen made a quick call.

A board-pairing 4♦ landed on the river and after the big blind checked, Nguyen rechecked his cards before he checked back.

The big blind tabled 6♦5♥ for a pair of sixes, but Nguyen flipped Q♦Q♠ for a higher pair.
