Revenge is Done?

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Marius Gierse shoved from the button for 35,000 and Orpen Kisacikoglu took some time from the small blind before opting to make the call while Daniel Dvoress folded his big blind.

Marius Gierse: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Orpen Kisacikoglu: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Spades} for Gierse to hit the river for the higher two pair to double up with.

"Revenge is done?" Kisacikoglu remarked.

Gierse looked up towards the ceiling: "Chip wise I am done, emotionally, no."

"Chips have more value?" Kisacikoglu quipped.

"That is true," Gierse replied.

O'Dwyer Counterfeits Aerts

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer raised it up from the hijack and was called by Bruno Lopes and Pieter Aerts in the blinds. The flop came {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and the action checked to O'Dwyer who bet 14,000. Lopes called and Aerts jammed all in for around 70,000. O'Dwyer just called and Lopes got out of the way.

Pieter Aerts: {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Steve O'Dwyer: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Aerts flopped two pair and was looking good for a double-up. The {5-Spades} on the turn changed nothing but the {10-Clubs} on the river gave O'Dwyer a bigger two pair and Aerts was eliminated.

Sam Greenwood: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Paul Newey: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

It was a coin flip and Greenwood held the lead on the {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop. The {2-Spades} on the turn and the {6-Diamonds} on the river was no helo to Newey who slid over a double up.

Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton was also spotted getting up from his table as his chips were awarded to Steve O'Dwyer. The floor was kind enough to relay that Grafton held {a-}{9-} versus the {j-}{10-} of O'Dwyer who flopped a pair of tens and turned two pair to knock the Brit out of the tournament.

Rezaei Picks Off a Bluff from Eibinger

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Matthias Eibinger opened to 5,500 in the hijack and was called by Daniel Rezaei in the cutoff. The flop came {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Eibinger used a time bank before dropping in a bet of 7,000. Rezaei called and the {9-Diamonds} paired the board on the turn.

Both players checked and the {q-Spades} hit the river. Eibinger used another time bank and then put together a bet of 22,000. Rezaei used a time bank of his own and then called. Eibinger showed {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for just king-high while Rezaei showed {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for two pair.
