Brits Battle Before Break
Charlie Carrel and Stephen Chidwick are the only British players competing in today’s event and they just battled in a sizable pot before the second break of the day.
Action was picked up with Carrel check-calling 6,000 on the [KhQc8h] flop.
The [5s] fell on the turn and Carrel checked for a second time. Chidwick continued for 27,000 and Carrel called.
The [6d] completed the board and brought a third check from Carrel. Chidwick took most of his 30 seconds and then effectively moved all-in. He bet 55,000 – leaving 500 behind.
Carrel thought and used a time extension, before calling. Chidwick tabled [KdQh] to jump ahead of his countryman on the leaderboard.

The turn landed the [5d] and Vogelsang bet 36,000. Badziakouski called, and when the river fell the [2h], Vogelsang elected to fire again; this time for 63,500 leaving himself just 500 behind.
Badziakouski thought for his full extension of free time, and then opted to fold.

O’Dwyer Gets Another Small Double
Steve O’Dwyer remains short, but he just doubled through Ben Tollerene move up a spot on the leaderboard.
With the board reading [Kd5c2dAsQd], O’Dwyer checked and Tollerene bet enough to put his opponent all-in.
O’Dwyer only had 32,000 left and after taking nearly 30-seconds, he slid his remaining chips across the table.
Tollerene showed pocket fours and O’Dwyer turned over [KcQc]. Two pair was good and last night’s Event #8 runner-up is now back near the starting stack.

Ali Imsirovic: “I’m The Best!”
Action folded to Ali Imsirovic in the small blind, and he raised to 12,000. Cary Katz called in the big blind, and the flop landed [8d2hQs].
Both players checked as the [4h] fell on the turn. Imsirovic bet 3,000 and Katz called.
The river fell the [Qc] and Imsirovic bet 3,000.
“What is going on? 4x raise then just one big blind continuation bets. Did you learn this from Stevie?” asked Katz.
Katz thought for a few more moments, and then stated, “I’m just going to call to see what you have.”
Imsirovic tabled his [AcJd] for ace-high and Katz showed his [Jh9h] for jack-high.
“I’m the best!” smirked Imsirovic as he scooped in the pot.

Mikita Badziakouski Doubles Through Matthias Eibinger
Matthias Eibinger bet 2,500 from the hijack on [AsJd3h] and called after Mikita Badziakouski raised to 15,000 from the cutoff.
The [Qd] fell on the turn and Eibinger check-called 32,000, not before burning a time extension in the process.
The [4d] completed the board and Eibinger checked again. Badziakouski took most of his 30-second time bank, before betting 83,000 – as has become the norm this week, he left 500 behind.
Eibinger burned through another extension and eventually called, only to hear Badziakouski say, “Straight.” while tabling [KdTc].
The Belarusian is now back over starting, while the Austrian is below that number for the first time since early in Event #9.
