Alt Controls Outcome

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

The player in the cut-off opened with a bet, before Dinesh Alt called from the button, as the flop came down {9-Spades}{J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. As soon as the dealer had spread out the flop, a bet of 5,700 was bet into the middle. Alt made the call, as the {8-Hearts} was placed down on the turn. Another quick bet of 11,000 from the player in the cut-off didn’t worry Alt too much, as he counted out a raise combining an array of different valued chips, before sliding out 22,000. His opponent motioned to raise, after counting out his 5,000-chips, but opted to fold, as Alt moves back up to 85,000 in chips.

Seal Lays it Down

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

The hand started with Emanuael Seal opening to 2,700 from middle position, before his opponent in the big blind, casually made the call. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and Seal was met with a check. He then bet out 4,600 and was met with an almost instant raise to 11,200 in chips. Seal thought for over a minute, before making the call, as the {6-Diamonds} fell on the turn. This time there was no checking, as the player in the big blind threw out 35,000. The bet almost had Seal covered, and after another lengthy thought process, he decided to muck his hand, relinquishing the pot.

Tan Climbing

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Vladimir Troyanovskiy checked the {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} flop as Jay Tan threw out a bet of 2,500. Troyanovskiy then raised it to 6,500 and was almost snap-called, as the {2-Clubs} came on the turn. Another check from Troyanovskiy prompted Tan to throw in 8,500, which was enough to take it down, as Troyanovskiy’s cards flew into the muck.

Tran Shows It

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

With the flop reading {6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Clubs}, Trung Tran led out for 6,700 from the big blind, sending his opponent on the button into the tank. A few minutes passed, before he reached for chips, and min-raised it to 13,400. Tran looked over at his opponent, and almost instantly threw out his own raise to 22,100. His opponent wasn’t too pleased, mucking his hand straight away.

Tran then casually tabled his {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a bluff, as he smiled to himself, raking in the pot.

We arrived at the table to see the player in middle position open to 2,300. He was called by the player to his left, before Kenny Wong moved all in for his last 9,300 from the hijack. With the decision back on the original better, he raised it up to 18,800, sending his opponent into the tank. A few minutes passed, and he released his hand, as the other two players tabled their cards.

Unfortunately for Wong, the board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Spades}, to see him out-flopped, and sent to the rail.

O’Rourke Doubles.. And He’s Gone!

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

In the space of two hands, Liam O’Rourke was able to double-up, and then get eliminated.

In the first hand, O’Rourke opened to 4,500 from under the gun +1, leaving himself with a 500-chip behind. It folded around to the player in the big blind, who raised, as O’Rourke made the call.

O’Rourke: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

He was able to hold, as the board ran out {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} to see him move to11,400.

In the very next hand, O’Rourke again opened from under the gun, for 11,000, leaving himself 300 behind. Sangeeth Mohan was in the cut-off, and made the call, not noticing that O’Rourke had kept some chips to himself.

The flop came down {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, and O’Rourke promptly threw his remaining chips into the middle, and was called, as both players tabled their cards.

O’Rourke: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

This time O’Rourke’s opponent had out-flopped him, and he was unable to improve as the turn and river came the {Q-Spades} and {4-Spades}.

Jones Eliminated

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The action started with the player in the hijack opening the pot, before Didier Guerin raised to 4,600 from the cut-off. Lacey Jones then pushed all in for her last 20,000 in chips, which was met with a 5-bet jam from the player in the small blind. With the bet having everyone covered, the original player mucked his hand, as Guerin then went into the tank. He finally let it go, as the two live players tabled their cards.

Jones: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

Jones had run into pocket aces, and found no help, as the board ran out {3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

With a flop showing {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}, the player in the small blind checked over to Errolyn Strang, who moved all in for her last 14,900 from the cut-off. Her opponent thought for a minute before making the call, as both players tabled their cards.

Strang: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Strang had a flush draw as well a chance to make a better pair, but was eliminated early in proceedings, when the board ran out the {4-Clubs} and {3-Hearts}.
