Level 4 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The {Q-Clubs} on the river completed a straight for Shak and Grospellier became the third casualty of the day.

Shak and Kenney Enter

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Within quick succession, Bryn Kenney and Dan Shak entered the High Roller to bump the field to 15 entries. Kenney was involved into a bigger pot right away in a battle hijack versus cutoff and checked to Martin Jacobson on the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} turn. Jacobson bet 15,000 for around two third of the pot and that forced a fold from Kenney.

Mateos Shoves Into Kabrhel

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Adrian Mateos in the under-the-gun position and Martin Kabrhel in the small blind both invested 21,000 preflop and headed to a flop of {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. Kabrhel checked and called a bet of 14,000 by Mateos before checking again the {7-Clubs} turn. Mateos moved all in for 90,200 and Kabrhel asked for a count.

Kabrhel checked his own stack and he was in fact covered by the jam of the Spaniard, releasing his cards into the muck soon after. "Nice bluff right there," Kabrhel added and Mateos replied "thank you."

Re-Entry for Nitsche

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Dominik Nitsche busted in a limped battle of the blinds after missing a gutshot and Ali Reza Fatehi called his shove on the river with {10-}{4-} for a full house fours over fives on a double-paired board.

The fortune for Fatehi didn't last long, as he immediately lost a big pot to Jean-Noel Thorel. Fatehi bet the {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} turn for 10,500 and Thorel called before the {5-Hearts} river completed the board. Fatehi bet 11,000 and Thorel raised to 25,000, which Fatehi called. Thorel rolled over the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for queens and fives, and that won the pot.
