High Noonan

John Eames
John Eames
Paul Noonan nearly doubled up at the expense of John Eames, who is now on the rail after a spot of bad timing.

Andy Bradshaw, now chip leader with 235k, and who has been in nearly every pot at his table, raised from early position. Action was then to small blind Eames, who moved all-in for around 24,000. He probably wasn't expecting big blind Noonan to then shove over the top for pennies more. Bradshaw passed and Eames flipped {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} and was up against Noonan's {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}.

Eames flopped a gutshot on the {8-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {4-Spades} board, but the turn and river were the harmless {3-Spades} {5-Spades}, leaving the tournament down one more one more player. "If I call, I win that one! Knock them both out!" to Bradshaw said to no one in particular.
