Matt Warburton

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

Action folded around to Max Deveson, who pushed all in from the small blind with a short stack. Sam Greenwood called in the big blind with the bigger stack and the cards were turned.

Max Deveson: A♦7♥ All in
Sam Greenwood: K♣2♠

The board ran out 3♦A♠8♥J♥6♦ to give Deveson a pair of aces on the board and the double up.

At another table, Byron Kaverman was less lucky as he was eliminated during his all-in.

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

Max Deveson raised to 12,000 as first to act and was called by Sven Andersson in the big blind. Andersson check-called Deveson's bet of 6,000 on the Q♥2♠4♥ flop before both checked the 3♠ turn.

Andersson led out for 14,000 on the Q♠ river, seeing a quick fold from Deveson and chipping up further.

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

Thomas Fjellheim made a bet from the small blind on a flop of 10♥9♥10♣, after which Jean-Noel Thorel jammed in his stack of 69,000 chips from the hijack. Fjellheim immediately called as the cards were turned face-up.

Jean-Noel Thorel: Q♠J♣ All in
Thomas Fjellheim: K♠K♥

Thorel needed an eight to stay alive, although the J♠ turn gave him some extra outs. The Q♦ river saw Fjellheim make a straight, however, raking in the pot and eliminating the French high roller from the tournament.

Nashar Commits Final Few Chips

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Hassan Nashar was down to just 12,000 chips, which he threw in from early position. Scott Margereson was the only one to look him up and the pair showed down.

Hassan Nashar: A♥9♠ All in
Scott Margereson: 7♥7♣

Margereson flopped a set on 2♣7♠6♠ and left Nashar drawing dead on the K♣ turn. The 8♣ river was meaningless as Nashar was the final player to bust in the first level of the day.

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ahmed Karrim moved all in preflop from under the gun and was called by Santhosh Suvarna in the small blind. Suvarna was at risk as players flipped their cards.

Santhosh Suvarna: 7♣7♠ All in
Ahmed Karrim: K♥Q♣

The board ran out 9♣2♠7♥6♦2♦ to give Suvarna a set of sevens on the flop. He won the pot and doubled his stack, leaving Karrim with just 6,000 chips.

The next hand, Karrim was committed in the big blind and called all in with A♥3♥. He lost out to Rehman Kassam, who won the pot with A♣4♣ when he paired his four on the flop.

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Hassan Nashar in the small blind, Scott Margereson in the big blind, and Thomas Fjellheim in middle position had arrived on a turn of 7♣Q♦2♣K♣. Nashar checked, Margerson bet 23,000, and Fjellheim called. Nashar got out of the way.

The 4♣ river then completed the board, seeing Margereson slow down and check. Fjellheim took the opportunity to go all in for 64,000.

Margereson asked for a count but quickly folded once he heard the correct number, shipping the pot to Fjellheim.

Scott Margereson	180,000 -42,000	-42,000

Matt Warburton

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Sam Grafton open shoved from middle position with a short stack of 62,000. He was called by Sven Stok in late position, who had him covered as players turned their cards.

Sam Grafton: Q♥10♥ All in
Sven Stok: 8♥8♠

The board ran out J♥9♣7♣4♦A♥. Stok held with his pocket eights to win the pot and send Grafton to an early Day 2 exit.
