Chouity Runs Into Jack-Four

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Nicolas Chouity
Nicolas Chouity

Nicolas Chouity opened under the gun to 4,300, and the player on the button and Alexander Bogdanov in the big blind both called.

Both Bogdanov and Chouity checked to the button on the {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}-flop. The player in the best position bet out 8,500 and Bogdanov made the call. Initial raiser Chouity now check raised, making it 24,000. The button folded, Bogdanov made the call.

The {5-Diamonds} fell on the turn, and Bogdanov checked his option. Chouity bet out 27,500, and Bogdanov made the call without much hesitation.

The {J-Hearts} completed the board, and Bogdanov checked for the third time. Chouity checked behind, only to roll his eyes and somewhat frustrated muck his hand after getting shown {J-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

Busto

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

It's tough to find out who exactly is still in, and who isn't. The player-id system isn't fully working, so we'll have to wait till the end of the day to have a complete list of people still active, and players who've busted. For now, we're pretty sure these players aren't in the tournament anymore:

Nada Luck for Nanev

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Rumen Nanev got his stack in before the flop holding {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}. His opponent was the shorter stack, and had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

Nanev wasn't at risk, but it was for a large portion of this stack. Nanev had to hand over 77,800 to his opponent, after the board gave his opponent a queen: {7-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Christian Christner On the Run of His Life - Daher Getting Short

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
All downhill so far for Daher
All downhill so far for Daher

The tournament is nowhere near the stage where people get paid, but Christian Christner's day is already going pretty good. He started out with one of the shortest stacks in the room, but he's almost playing 300,000 right now - nearly three times the average.

After a raise, Christner three bet from the small blind to 9,400. Albert Daher cold four bet to 18,000 from the big blind, and the initial raiser folded. Christner five bet to 40,500 though, and Daher made the call.

{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} on the flop, and Christner gently double checked his cards, most likely to see if he had a diamond. He bet 38,000 and Daher made the call.

The dealer burned and turned the {9-Clubs}, and Christner announced all in. The dealer tossed him the 'all in button', and Daher was facing the decision for his tournament life.

With the break well underway, Daher eventually mucked his hand. Christner mucked his card as well, grabbed all the 1,000 and 5,000 chips in the pot, and neatly made 20-high towers.
