Dumonski Calls for his One Time and Gets Rewarded

Michael Giacobbe

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mark Dumonski open-jammed his 114,000-chip stack into the middle from the cutoff and action was on Liviu-Rodrig Bartha who called the shove from the button. The blinds mucked and players were flipping for 250,000 chips.

Mark Dumonski: A♣K♠ All in
Liviu-Rodrig Bartha: J♣J♥

A classic race, the dealer put out A♥5♠6♦5♦2♣ and Dumonski held on with his pair of aces to rake in a pile of chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Liviu-Rodrig Bartha	426,000 -169,000	-169,000

Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Dimitrios Gkatzas was left flabbergasted and leaned back into his chair after his clash with table neighbour John Power saw his stack cut by two thirds.

Power had gotten it in preflop with the Q♥Q♣ and Gkatzas was well ahead with the K♦K♠. Nothing changed on the 4♠4♦2♦ flop but Power struck gold with the Q♠ turn. None of the two remaining kings came as the 10♣ river completed the board.

JC Alvarado	1,450,000 90,000	90,000
John Power	515,000 230,000	230,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a flop of 9♦7♦10♣, there were around 150,000 chips in the pot when Theo Devidal got his stack of 239,000 into the middle against the player to his right.

Theo Devidal: Q♥Q♦ All in
Opponent: A♦3♦

Devidal needed to fade some outs and managed to do so as his pocket queens remained in the lead on the 4♥9♠ runout.

Bell Tolls for Kaufmann

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Biao Ding in the big blind had David Kaufmann in late position all in and at risk.

David Kaufmann: J♦J♠ All in
Biao Ding: A♦K♥

Kaufmann would need to win a flip to double and survive. The Q♦3♣6♥ flop and 10♦ turn kept the jacks best but the J♣ river, though improving Kaufmann to a set, handed Ding broadway and the elimination.

Player	Chips	Progress
Biao Ding	1,350,000 215,000	215,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

After an early position raise to 20,000, Christopher Horter moved all in from middle position for 180,000. Nicholas Hobbs reraised all in and the initial raiser folded.

Christopher Horter: J♣J♥ All in
Nicholas Hobbs: K♣K♥

Two big hands colliding, the dealer put out A♥2♣8♦4♦6♣ sending Horter packing and awarding Hobbs the pot.

David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Maria Ho raised to 18,000 on the button as action folded to a short-stacked Eduards Rakuss in the big blind. "At 9:30 I make my decision," Rakuss said with more than 10 minutes remaining in the level. He waited until the clock clicked down before calling.

The flop came 9♣6♦8♥ and Ho bet all in. Rakuss again paused for a moment before calling off his last 10,000.

Eduards Rakuss: 5♥5♠ All in
Maria Ho: Q♣7♣

Ho had a straight draw against Rakuss' pair, and while Rakuss improved to a set on the 5♣ turn, the same card gave Ho her straight. The K♣ river improved Ho to a flush and sent Rakuss to the rail.

After about an hour long bubble, the first break of the day is now about an hour later as many players have made their way to payouts already after the bubble burst.

Here are the highlights from a very exciting Level 16.

Play will return in 20 minutes on Level 17.
