Enzo Del Piero Eliminated in 9th Place (£5,040)

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Enzo Del Piero
Enzo Del Piero

Enzo Del Piero has become the first player to depart at the final table after busting to Ka Him Li. Del Piero was in the big blind with {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Li on the button with {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

After a standard bet pre-flop from Li and call from Del Piero, action wasn't fast to the turn on a board of {9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. That saw Li make it 134,000, but Del Piero moved all-in and was called. The {2-Diamonds} river eliminated Del Piero.

Grafton Takes Plenty From Li

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Sam Grafton opened to 65,000 pre-flop from early position with {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and got raised by Ka Him Li with {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} from the cut-off. Grafton called and the two men were heads-up to a flop.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Grafton checked. Li made it 135,000 and Grafton called. On the turn of {Q-Clubs}, both men checked. The river of {2-Clubs} saw Grafton lead for 180,000 but Li folded. Grafton will still be happy with the chips he made that hand.

Li Sets Up But Grafton Gets Away

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante

Sam Grafton raised under the gun to 45,000 and was called by Ka Him Li with {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, Cristian Mihu with {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Shah Raza with {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} .

The flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} saw play checked to Cristian Mihu on the button, and he bet 65,000. Li raised all-in and everyone folded, Grafton getting away from potentially a painful hand with the kings.

Pokrepa Folds Ace-King

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Mikhail Pokrepa
Mikhail Pokrepa

Jose Lopez made it 52,000 from the hijack position with {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and saw Mikhail Pokrepa call with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. Charles Chattha called with {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} but when it came around to Ha Kim Li, he shoved all-in for 467,000 with pocket queens.

Lopez folded, but so too did Pokrepa and Chattha, Li gets it through, but Pokrepa had a premium hand there and remains short-stack.
