Level 14: 2,500 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Kunal Patni won a big flip with jacks against the ace-king of Joshua McCully, who busts soon after. In the meanwhile, Konstantin Held emerges from his undercover run and nearly doubles the stack he started with so far, now sitting between Hugues Girard and Ngoc Ha Nguyen. The same table has already lost Joris Michl and Dhaval Mudgal.

Shai Arbel Has the Superior Flush

Level 11: 1,500 / 2,500 ante: 2,500
Shai Arbel

The evening is winding down with fewer than 160 players remaining, the field for an above average stack continues. Shai Arbel check-raises a bet of Emmanuel Segismundo on the Qâ™  Jâ™  9â™  flop from 6,500 to 15,000.


Arbel then leads the 4♦ turn for Segismundo to call again and they check the 8♠ river when the fourth spade arrives. Segismundo shakes his head, Arbel tables J♣ 6♠ and Segismundo mucks while partly exposing the five of spades.
