Mike Patrick

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

With 1,000,000 in the pot already on a turn board of K♠9♦2♣8♠, Rania Nasreddine checked 10♥9♥ to Fabiano Kovalski who bet 700,000 from under-the-gun with K♥Q♠.

Nasreddine called with her second pair, and on the 8♥ river, she checked again and faced a bet of 1,350,000.

The start of day chip leader thought briefly, but then incorrectly called with her nines and eights, falling to Kovalski's kings and eights.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jianwei Lin opened to 250,000 from the cutoff, and David Coleman called from the button.

Lin check-called bets of 260,000 and 440,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 9♣6♣3♦5♥7♦.

Any eight or four made a straight, and Lin checked for a third time. Coleman used up a time bank before firing a third barrel of 1,450,000.

Lin immediately threw in his stack of time bank cards, with several being used until he flicked in a T-5,000 to call the large river bet.

Coleman tabled K♥J♥ for king-high, while Lin showed down J♠9♠ and took in the pot with just a pair of nines.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

After taking his 20,000 to 90,000, Daniel Myers put in his one big blind stack from early position. Harry Lodge called from the small blind and Marius-Catalin Pertea checked his option in the big blind.

Myers appeared very relaxed after the J♠8♣3♠ flop, chatting to Mitch Hynam and Carl Shaw on the rail. The blinds checked, and did the same on the 7♣ turn and 2♠ river.

"The toppest of pairs," said Myers, as he tabled Q♥J♣. Lodge sent his K♦5♦ into the muck and Pertea did the same with his Q♣9♦.

The following hand, Myers wagered his stack of 370,000. The action folded to Andrew Hulme in the big blind, and he called to put the Liverpudlian at risk.

Daniel Myers: A♦8♥ All in
Andrew Hulme: Q♦J♦

Myers was looking to pull off "the greatest comeback in PokerStars history," and it appeared he would be on his way to do that after the K♥5♣2♣ flop and 6♥ turn. However, the Q♠ completed the board and gave Hulme a pair of queens to seal the checkmark and elimination.

Ollie Garland

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Hand One:

Alexandre Fournier raised to 200,000 from under the gun, Harry Lodge three-bet to 500,000 from the hijack and Daniel Myers cold four-bet jammed for 2,620,000, from the small blind. Fournier called off the bet for his last 2,600,000 and Lodge folded.

Alexandre Fournier: K♣K♠ All in
Daniel Myers: A♣Q♣

The 6♠K♥10♠ flop gave Fournier top set, but Myers gained a straight draw. The 9♦ turn and 7♠ river were clean for Fournier and he found a huge double up, leaving Myers with just 20,000.

Hand Two:

Two hands later, Myers moved all in for 20,000 from the cutoff. Jianwei Lin raised to 225,000 on the button and Lodge called in the big blind.

The J♣10♠6♣ flop checked through to the K♣ on the turn. Lodge checked and then folded to a bet of 300,000 from Lin.

Daniel Myers: A♠3♠ All in
Jianwei Lin: A♥2♥

The river landed the 9♥; despite this being a chopped pot, Myers more than tripled up.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jose Barbosa moved all in for 635,000 from under the gun. Andrew Hulme then min-clicked it from the small blind, which folded out Daniel Myers in the big blind.

Jose Barbosa: Q♣10♣ All in
Andrew Hulme: A♥8♠

Barbosa had live cards, but the A♣7♥7♠ flop was all Hulme, who made two pair. Barbosa needed to go runner-runner and found the Q♥ on the turn to keep his hopes alive. The J♥ river provided no help to the at-risk player, and Hulme sent Barbosa out in 14th place.

On the 10♣ turn, Song had an open-ender and bet 375,000. Coleman called to see the 4♠ hit the river.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Stephen Song raised to 300,000 in the small blind with A♣K♦ and was three-bet by Boris Kuzmanovic with A♥K♣ to 880,000 from the big blind.

Song then moved in for 7,700,000 and Kuzmanovic called, slightly covering him.

For an over 15,000,000 chip pot, the flop came 10♦7♦4♦ giving Song a flush draw.

The turn Q♣ was clean as was the 8♥ river, as Kuzmanovic avoided disaster for the chopped pot.

Jelle Moene: A♦5♠ All in
Stephen Song: 6♠3♠

The turn was the 7♠ giving Song the winning flush, with the 10♠ completing the board.
