The Same Ol' Song and Dance

Level 10 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Manig Loeser raised to 250,000 in early position and Martin Kabrhel went into the tank again. The clock was called and Kabrhel eventually raised to 15,000,000. The action came back to Loeser who snapped him off and the cards were tabled.

Manig Loeser: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Martin Kabrhel: {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The flop came {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Loeser was in a great position. The {j-Diamonds} on the turn left Kabrhel drawing dead and Loeser let him know about it. "Oh wait, you can't win!" Some more banter was exchanged between the two players but in the end it was Loeser stacking chips after the hand.

Loeser Wants to Tangle with Kabrhel

Level 10 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Manig Loeser
Manig Loeser

Martin Kabrhel has been opening every hand and is either taking down the pot preflop or getting some resistance from his opponents. Jun Wah Yap has three-bet shoved multiple times directly on his left while Ivan Leow has been moving in on Kabrhel's blinds.

Manig Loeser had other plans as he wanted to see a flop when Kabrhel raised to 265,000. The flop fell {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Loeser check-called a bet of 260,000 from Kabrhel out of the big blind. The turn brought the {7-Clubs} and Loeser checked again. Kabrhel eventually stuck in a bet of 1,175,000 and Loeser folded.

Loeser Doubles Through Kabrhel

Level 9 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel limped in from under the gun and Manig Loeser pushed all in for 2,050,000 from the small blind. The action was back on Kabrhel who thought for a minute before Loeser called the clock. As his time was running out, Kabrhel called to put Loeser at risk.

Manig Loeser: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Martin Kabrhel: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip that Loeser would come out on top of when the board ran out {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. "Nice try," Loeser needled a little as he scooped the pot.

Trickett Can't Flip It

Level 9 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Sam Trickett
Sam Trickett

Sam Trickett opened to 225,000 from the cutoff and Martin Kabrhel three-bet to 695,000 on the button. "This one is for you Tony," Kabrhel said. "He doesn't care about ICM, I'm just trying to protect you."

The action came back to Trickett who quickly moved all in and Kabrhel made the call. Trickett tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} while Kabrhel held {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} which left Trickett drawing dead to Kabrhel's set. The {9-Clubs} on the turn improved Kabrhel to quads and Trickett was eliminated.

"Let me take a picture. I need a picture of this one," Kabrhel went on. "I busted Mr. Trickett I need a picture."

Soyza Eliminates Chan

Level 9 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Wai Leong Chan
Wai Leong Chan

Wai Leong Chan shipped all in for his last 580,000 from the hijack and Michael Soyza made a quick call after looking down at his cards in the big blind.

Michael Soyza: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Wai Leong Chan: {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The flop came {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Chan looked poised to double up. The {q-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing but the {7-Clubs} on the river gave Soyza the only pair. With that, the official final table of eight players was set.
