Nikolay Yosifov minraised from under the gun and it folded to Joseph Carden in the cutoff. He three-bet to around 2,000,000 chips, which was slightly more than half of his stack. Yosifov quickly put him all in and Carden called.

Joseph Carden: A?J?All in
Nikolay Yosifov: K?K?

Carden sighed in disappointment when he saw Yosifov��s hand. The board came 2?7?Q?5?3?. Carden did not make a better hand than Yosifov��s pair of kings and he was eliminated.

Jonathan Schwartz made it 600,000 from early position. Ben Hoy jammed all in and Schwartz put in his remaining chips when it was back on him.

Jonathan Schwartz: J?J? All in
Ben Hoy: A?Q?

Schwartz would need jacks to hold as the flop came 8?7?7?. The turn was the 5? and the river the 4? as he clapped his hands and got a slap on the back from a buddy on the rail with his stack back in contention.

Action Slowing Down

Monika Kostanjevec

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Since the players returned from the break, action has slowed down a bit. We have mainly seen smaller pots and reduced bet sizes, with Ben Hoy being one of the more active players in these smaller pots.

In a fairly typical hand as of late, action started with a preflop raise from Ben Hoy under the gun, which was called by Nikolay Yosifov in the big blind.

The flop was K?5?J?. Yosifov checked and Hoy bet 350,000. Yosifov called.

The turn 10? got checked around.

The river was the 3? and after another check from Yosifov, Hoy bet 400,000. Yosifov called. Hoy turned over A?K? and Yosifov mucked his hand.

Double For Stamm

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Ben Hoy raised from middle position. David Stamm jammed 1,200,000 from the hijack and Hoy called when it folded back to him.

David Stamm: J?J? All in
Ben Hoy: K?Q?

The board ran out safely for the jacks, 2?4?3?6?3? and Stamm gathered a double through Hoy whose stack had been pumped back up before thanks to a few modest pots won in a row to help cushion the blow from the double.
