The Run-Bad Culminates For Gavin-Mather

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Lexy Gavin-Mather and Peter Jaksland invested 6,800 preflop to see a flop of 7♣5♣3♥. Gavin-Mather bet 8,500 and earned a call from Jaksland before she jammed the K♠ turn and Jaksland snap-called.

Lexy Gavin-Mather: A♠A♦
Peter Jaksland: 7♥7♦

Gavin-Mather grabbed her phone to record the showdown once more and needed an ace to stay alive on Day 1c. The river was the blank 8♥ and she quickly inquired if Jaksland had her covered before adding "nice hand," then exiting the tournament area.

With a six-figure stack not long ago, a series of setbacks knocked her stack to zero.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a heads-up flop of 8♥7♦4♦, Pavlos Xanthopoulos jammed into Maroun Jazzar and the latter called all-in for less than the starting stack with the 5♥5♦ for a pair and gutshot.

Xanthopoulos had the K♦10♦ for two overcards and flush draw, which eventually got there on the J♣ turn as well as K♣ river. The empty seat was soon after filled by Fintan Hand.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Timo Kamphues had entered only a few minutes ago and then got involved in a three-way pot to the 5♥2♥2♠ flop. Vincenzo Schiavottiello bet and Kamphues called before Erik Risberg raised to 12,500. Schiavottiello pushed all-in and so did Kamphues, forcing out Risberg.

Vincenzo Schiavottiello: K♥10♥
Timo Kamphues: A♥A♣

No heart followed with the 7♠ turn and J♦ river to send Schiavottiello packing.

Xanthopoulos Leaves De Cleen Short

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Nico De Cleen jammed over the top of an open raise only to find himself up against Pavlos Xanthopoulos, who was covered by a few big blinds.

Pavlos Xanthopoulos: Q♠Q♣
Nico De Cleen: A♣3♣

The suited ace flopped a pair and wheel draw on 4♣3♥2♥ but the 4♥ turn as well as Q♥ river kept Xanthopoulos ahead, as he doubled for 23,900 with queens full of fours.

De Cleen was left with around eight blinds and departed shortly after when David Docherty made a flush.
