Chong on First Bullet; Rhee on Third Bullet

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The start of the new level was rather chaotic, as Yo Seb Rhee was eliminated for the second time and bought back in for bullet number three. Simon Hermann was moved away to balance the tables, but soon found himself back at the very same table as yet another bustout required the next balancing.

Timofey Asmolov had sent Rhee to the rail to more than double his stack and got into a raising war with table neighbor Georges Georgiou on a flop of {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} soon after. Asmolov check-raised from 3,800 to 10,400 and Georgiou moved all in on top of that. The squeeze was pulled in and Georgiou's shove was for another 47,800, which the Russian called.

Georges Georgiou: {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Timofey Asmolov: {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Both the {9-Spades} turn and {J-Clubs} river were blanks and that was it for Georgiou.

Victor Chong also bought in for the first bullet and that bumped the field to 35 entries in total.
