In the late stages of level 8, the action is becoming more and more aggressive, building big stacks for some players and sending others to the rail. A hand that just played out on table 61 showed these dynamics at work.

With the blinds at 500/1K, a small three-way pot escalated quickly. It started as a limped pot. The first player to act on the King of Diamonds Jack of Clubs 8 of Clubs flop, Chrispother Kwan, saw an opportunity to add to his stack and moved all in for 10.3K. Despite betting more than double the pot, he picked up a call from the next player, Elaine Rawn, before the action got to Karim Abdelhamid. Abdelhamid put in a raise to 29.3K, putting Rawn in a tough spot. Her call of Kwan’s all in showed strength, but Abdelhamid’s raise threw everything into question. After spending a while in the tank, Rawn decided to fold so hands could be tabled. It was King of Clubs 4 of Diamonds for Kwan, against Abdelhamid’s King of Hearts 6 of Hearts. The turn brought the Ace of Diamonds and with it, some hope for Kwan as a chop became more likely, however, the 6 of Spades on the river improved Abdelhamid’s hand and gave him two pairs, enough to take down the starting-stack-sized pot.

Play continues in level 9 with 97 players remaining.
