Dumonski Calls for his One Time and Gets Rewarded

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: AK All in
Liviu-Rodrig Bartha: JJ

A classic race, the dealer put out A5652 and Dumonski held on with his pair of aces to rake in a pile of chips.

Gkatzas Loses Almost All of the Power

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 QQ and Gkatzas was well ahead with the KK. Nothing changed on the 442 flop but Power struck gold with the Q turn. None of the two remaining kings came as the 10 river completed the board.

Bell Tolls for Kaufmann

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: JJ All in
Biao Ding: AK

Kaufmann would need to win a flip to double and survive. The Q36 flop and 10 turn kept the jacks best but the J river, though improving Kaufmann to a set, handed Ding broadway and the elimination.

Ho Gets There Both Ways to Bust Rakuss

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

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 968 and Ho bet all in. Rakuss again paused for a moment before calling off his last 10,000.

Eduards Rakuss: 55 All in
Maria Ho: Q7

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.
