Edmonds Pushes Back Ephraums

Brendan Edmonds fired out a bet of 180,000 on a {K-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs} flop, Matthew Ephraums then check/raised to 400,000.

Without more than 30 seconds thought, Edmonds moved all-in, Ephraums rechecked his cards...and folded.

Thomas Cut Back

Brendan Edmonds opened for 160,000 from under the gun, only to see Brent Thomas call from the button before Matthew Ephraums four-bet it for another 400,000.

Trung folded from the big blind, Edmonds let his hand go and Thomas called and they checked a flop of {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

On the turn of the {j-Diamonds}, Ephraums fired out 400,000 and Thomas quickly threw his hand into the muck.

Ephraums hasn't been involved in too much action but he's certainly not going unnoticed, now on just over 4 million in chips while Thomas is reduced to around 1 million.

I Feel the Need, the Need ... For Speed!

Tournament director Christian Vaughan has just put in another dealer in seat one to initiate the 'Speed Poker System' to try and speed things up.

For those unfamilar with how it works, while one deck is in play, the other dealer shuffles the other deck in preparation for the next hand.

Once the hand ends, the preshuffled deck is passed back to the dealer who pitches the cards out while the other deck is shuffled ... and so on and so on.

Thus, the dealing process is faster and more efficient, which should help move the game along!

The action folded around to Brad Rawiller who made it 200,000 to go from the cutoff before Matthew Ephraums called from the small blind to go heads up to a flop of {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}.

Ephraums check-called Rawiller's bet of 250,000, then both players checked the {4-Hearts} on the turn before Ephraums fired out 350,000 on the river {6-Clubs}.

Rawiller gave it up and was left with just 630,000 which he moved into the middle on the very next hand with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} but Trung Tran put in a protection shove to get the others out of the way before tabling {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

The board was spread {q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Rawiller's wild ride has come to an abrupt halt.
