Break With Nine Remaining

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Only one hand was played in that level still and Ivan Luca defended his big blind to a raise of 17,000 by Bryn Kenney. On the {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop, Luca checked and Kenney continued for 13,000, which the Argentinian called. The {3-Diamonds} turn was checked through and Luca bet the {6-Clubs} river for 100,000 to force a fold.

Right after the nine remaining players were sent on a 15-minute break, in which the T-500 chips will be raced off.

Adams Busts in Three Hands

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Steffen Sontheimer defended his big blind against a raise by Timothy Adams and check-called a bet of 1/4 pot on the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop and half the pot on the {4-Clubs} turn. The {9-Diamonds} appeared on the river and Sontheimer checked. Adams bet 83,000 with 1,000 behind and Sontheimer called, Adams mucked and Sontheimer raked in the massive pot without having to show his cards.

One hand later Adams was forced all in for the ante and got up to 5,000 before being forced all in from the big blind the next hand for 4,000. Sontheimer raised to 16,000 on the button and Dan Shak three-bet to 59,000 in the small blind, Sontheimer folded.

Timothy Adams: {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Dan Shak: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Adams busted in 10th place. All remaining nine players will combine to one table, play the last three minutes of the current level and go on a break.

May the Ping Pong Doubles Continue

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Only minutes ago Ivan Luca doubled through Adrian Mateos and that favor was just returned. Mateos shoved for 87,000 from under the gun and Luca called out of the big blind.

Adrian Mateos: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Ivan Luca: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

The {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop was once again a sweat, but Mateos survived thanks to the blank {6-Spades} turn and {5-Diamonds} river.

Luca From Almost Zero to Hero

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The cards of Adrian Mateos were already in the muck while Ivan Luca's double for around 170,000 was counted. Luca's cards were still tabled with {A-Hearts}{10-Spades} on a board of {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and Felipe Ramos confirmed that Mateos was in there with {A-}{3-} preflop.

Only 15 minutes ago, Luca's stack was all but 40,000 and he now sits well above the average.

Luca Doubles Again

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Adrian Mateos scooped a pot against Max Altergott and then raised to 129,000 from the small blind to give Felipe Ramos the choice of calling all in or folding. Ramos opted for the latter.

Soon after it was Max Altergott who raised to 18,000 first to act and Ivan Luca pushed for 80,000 from the cutoff. Altergott called and the cards were turned over.

Ivan Luca: {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Max Altergott: {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The flop of {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts} was a sweat with the open-ended straight draw for Altergott, but Luca secured the double thanks to the {9-Diamonds} turn and {2-Hearts} river.

Luca and Kenney Double

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Timothy Adams raised to 12,000 from under the gun and called the shove of Bryn Kenney for 91,500 with the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Kenney had the dominating {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and the board of {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts} was no sweat.

Moments later, Ivan Luca was all in with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and Ole Schemion looked him up with {K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Again the better hand held up on the board {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and the Argentinian doubled.
