Chidwick Bubbles 25k Single Day High Roller II

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

Andras Nemeth raised to 20,000 under the gun. Stephen Chidwick moved all in for his remaining 13,000 from the button. Sirzat Hissou called the small blind and Pablo Brito Silva called in the big also.

Four players saw the flop of {2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. The three players contesting the side pot all checked.

The turn was the{10-Diamonds}. Hissou bet 25,000, Brito Silva and Nemeth folded fast.

Hissou tabled the {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} boat. Chidwick stood up, tabled the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and started to rapidly walk out the door before the river {j-Spades} was even dealt as he was gone as the bubble boy.

Dzivielevski Doubles, Puts Chidwick on Bubble Short Stack

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Yuri Dzivielevski
Yuri Dzivielevski

After Andras Nemeth opened under the gun to 21,000, Yuri Dzivielevski moved all-in on the short stack for 97,000.

Stephen Chidwick then moved in over top for about 170,000. Nemeth and the rest of the table folded and we had our first chance to burst the money bubble.

Yuri Dzivielevski: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Stephen Chidwick: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The flop gave Chidwick a world of outs, as he laid out {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

But if you're a believer in 'too many outs', this was the case here, as the {3-Spades} on the turn and the {9-Clubs} on the river brought no help to Chidwick, putting him under ten big blinds, while Dzivielevski's stack received a healthy boost.

Nemeth Nullifying the Table

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Andras Nemeth's destruction of the table continued as Chris Brewer was all in preflop holding the {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} while Andras Nemeth had the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.

The board ran out in favor of Nemeth as it came {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{a-Spades} and Nemeth gathered in what was now a near 175 big blind stack and almost 2/3rds of the chips in play as the tournament is now on the money bubble.

Nemeth Slays Grafton

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Andras Nemeth raised from the button, Sam Grafton shoved all in from the small blind and Nemeth called.

Sam Grafton: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Andras Nemeth: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The flop sent Nemeth into pole position as it came {5-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and the hearts were covered by Nemeth. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and the river left Grafton begging as the {9-Diamonds} came off to confirm his elimination.

Grafton Doubles Through Silva

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Sam Grafton

After Pablo Brito Silva raised to 16,000 in the hijack, Sam Grafton moved all-in on the button for 175,000.

Silva made the call and Grafton's tournament life was at risk.

Sam Grafton: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Pablo Brito Silva: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop was clean for Silva's jacks, but the {q-Diamonds} on the turn gave Grafton the lead, which he would hold through the {5-Hearts} river to double up to nearly 400,000 chips

Nemeth Has Heaps as Schemion Whiffs

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ole Schemion
Ole Schemion

From under the gun, Andras Nemeth raised to 16,000. Ole Schemion called from the small blind and Pablo Brito Silva also called in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Nemeth bet 22,000, Schemion called and Brito Silva folded.

The {7-Hearts} came on the turn. Nemeth bet again, this time for a juiced-up amount of 90,000. Schemion took a time extension before he announced all in which Nemeth snap-called.

Ole Schemion: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Andras Nemeth: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Nemeth had the flopped set of ladies while Schemion had the nut flush draw. The river did not come a diamond as the {4-Spades} blank peeled off to bust Schemion and send his large chunk of chips across the table to Nemeth who now has north of 100 big blinds.

Grafton Runs Into Rockets

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised under the gun. Sirzat Hissou jammed all in from his direct left. Sam Grafton re-jammed his larger stack from the button, Chidwick quickly folded {k-}{j-} face up.

Grafton turned over the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} but saw he was up against the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} of Hissou.

The flop came {5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, the turn was the {10-Spades} and the river came the {3-Hearts} to give a big double to Hissou.

Schemion Ousts Seiji

Level 12 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Rodrigo Seiji opened under the gun to 12,000 and got a call from Sirzat Hissou in the small blind before Ole Schemion raised to 131,000 in the big blind, and Seiji moved all-in for slightly more. Hissou flashed {k-Spades}{j-Spades} as he folded and Schemion made the call to put Seiji at risk.

Rodrigo Seiji: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Ole Schemion: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

The dealer spread a board of {3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades} as Schemion's pair of sevens held up to eliminate Seiji.
