The following players are some of the ones who have taken their seats after the break:

Wettavik Takes Rundstrom Out

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

The flop read {2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, and Stefan Rundstrom had shoved from mid-position which Lise Wettavik snap-called on the button.

Stefan Rundstrom: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Lise Wettavik: {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Rundstrom had the overpair but Wettavik had flopped the wheel for Rundstrom to need a lot of help of the board.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} which was the first card towards getting Rundstrom towards the full house to double up but the {10-Clubs} on the river meant Wettavik stayed ahead to eliminate Rundstrom from the tournament.

Byrne Splits the Pot

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Daiva Byrne raised to 400 from the early position and was called by John Robert on the button and Colin Good in the small blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Good check-called the 500 continuation-bet of Byrne and Robert also called.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and they all checked through it to see the {k-Spades} complete the board on the river. They all checked again, Good hesitated in showing his cards even though he was supposed to show first, Byrne tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for the two pair with the king-kicker on the board. Good mucked his cards, Robert quickly flipped over {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for the same two pair and kicker on the board to split the pot. Good tried to retrieve his cards from the muck to check his cards again but then decided against it.
