Battle of the Blinds

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

We didn’t catch the action, but Fady Alam committed the remainder of his stack in pre-flop holding {J-}{6-} and was called by Dan Kelly who held {A-}{9-}. The board didn’t help either player, as Kelly’s ace-high was able to take down the pot.

Brabin Heading Out

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

The hand started with Luke Brabin opening to 27,000 in chips, and finding a call from David Campion. Michael Fadersen then re-raised to 67,000, triggering Brabin to commit his remaining 350,000 into the middle. Campion got out of the way, as Fadersen snap called to see the cards tabled.

Brabin: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Fadersen: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The board brought a king, sending Brabin to the rail.

Divkovic Climbing

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

[Removed:480] opened the hand with a bet of 25,000 in chips. Aziz Youssef and Iori Yogo called from blinds to see the flop come {7-Spades}{A-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Both blinds checked over to Divkovic, who threw out a continuation bet of 36,000 in chips. Only Youssef made the call to see the turn come the {10-Hearts}. Both players checked, as the river fell the {K-Diamonds}. Youssef motioned towards his chips, and bet out 75,000 in chips. Divkovic then placed out a re-raise of 200,000, which forced a fold from Youssef.

Divkovic is almost at the 2 million chip mark early in today’s proceedings.

Jones Over a Million

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The two biggest stacks in the room just had their first battle of the day. With around 200,000 chips in the pot, and the board reading {3-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Donald Jones led out 110,000 in chips. [Removed:480] made the call, as both players saw the {4-Hearts} fall on the river. Jones didn’t stop, as he pushed out 225,000 in chips.

“How much do you have?” asked Divkovic.

“Around 250,000,” replied Jones.

“Good bluff,” acknowledged Divkovic, as he mucked his cards.

Both players are now sitting on just over a million in chips each.

Teng Eliminated

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The table folded around to Aziz Youssef in the hijack, who limped into the pot, before Victor Teng moved all in for his remaining 160,000 in chips. [Removed:480] flat called from the small blind, forcing Youssef to fold his hand.

Divkovic: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Teng: {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

Teng was able to spike a deuce on the flop as the board fell {2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, but the {K-Hearts} on the turn sealed his fate, with the {J-Clubs} completing the board, and sending the young hopeful home in 20th place.

Benson Climbing

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Luke Brabin opened the hand from the cut-off, with a bet of 24,000. Gary Benson called from the button, before David Campion opted to re-raise to 75,000 from the small blind. Brabin got out of the way, as Benson called, to see the flop come down {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{A-Spades}.

Campion threw out a continuation bet of 39,000 which was called, as the {A-Hearts} landed on the turn. This time Campion check-called a bet of 70,000 from Benson as the {10-Clubs} completed the board. Campion checked for the last time, as Benson counted out a bet of 135,000 in chips, and slid them into the middle. Campion went into the tank, before eventually throwing away his hand.

Solomon: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Jones: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Solomon’s pair would hold, as the board ran out {K-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades}, to see him stay in the tournament.
