Play Has Ground to a Halt

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With the players on the stone bubble now, the action has been very limited over the past 30 minutes with very few flops being seen. Orpen Kisacikoglu is continuing to a hold a healthy chip lead while the other five players battle it out to see who will be taking home some cash tonight.

Kisacikoglu Continues to Dominate

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Pablo Brito Silva
Pablo Brito Silva

Orpen Kisacikoglu opened to 24,000 from the cutoff and Espen Jorstad flat-called on the button. Pablo Brito Silva three-bet shoved all in for 265,000 in the big blind and Kisacikoglu re-shoved, forcing Jorstad out of the hand.

Pablo Brito Silva: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Orpen Kisacikoglu: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Brito Silva was looking at an uphill battle and the flop of {8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} provided no immediate help. The {4-Clubs} on the turn and the {7-Spades} on the river were also bricks as Brito Silva was ousted just short of the money.

Big Stacks Go to Battle

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a three-bet pot, Orpen Kisacikoglu and Espen Jorstad were left to battle heads-up after each committing 78,000 into the pot preflop. The flop came {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Kisacikoglu checked from the small blind. Jorstad threw in a bet of 62,000 from the big bind and Kisacikoglu called.

The turn brought the {4-Hearts} and both players checked to the {8-Hearts} on the river. Kisacikoglu reached for a bet of 175,000 which forced Jorstad to use a time bank before dumping his cards to the muck.

Trips for Kisacikoglu Ends Conan's Run

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Arthur Conan
Arthur Conan

Orpen Kisacikoglu raised to 20,000 in early position and Arthur Conan three-bet to 37,000 in the cutoff. It folded back to Kisacikoglu who shoved all in and Conan called off his stack of 51,000.

Arthur Conan: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Orpen Kisacikoglu: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop of {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} gave top pair to Kisacikoglu but Conan picked up a straight draw with his two over cards. However, the {6-Spades} on the turn and the {10-Spades} on the river only improved Kisacikoglu as Conan was eliminated.

Corel Theuma
Corel Theuma

Ben Heath raised to 22,000 on the button and Corel Theuma ripped all in for around 160,000 in the big blind. Heath quickly called and they were off to the races.

Corel Theuma: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Ben Heath: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Spades} and Theuma took the lead with a pair of aces, although Heath picked up a flush draw. That draw came in right away on the {7-Spades} turn, leaving Theuma drawing dead to the {j-Spades} on the river.
