Action at Table One

Level 21 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Brandon Wilson
Brandon Wilson

On a completed board of {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, the pot was around 500,000 when Brandon Wilson bet 40,000.

His opponent, Steve O'Dwyer, shook his head and called. Wilson then tabled {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for trip kings while O'Dwyer flashed {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} before sending them into the muck.

"I guess it's not a lucky seat after all," he muttered.

O'Dwyer was left with only 150,000 after that and moved all in from under the gun the very next hand, but he got a walk and took down the blinds.

The hand after that, Wilson shoved from the button and after using a time bank, Dan Smith called from the small blind, putting himself at risk. O'Dwyer also used a time bank to contemplate his decision but eventually elected to fold and the two hands were tabled.

Dan Smith: {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Brandon Wilson: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Wilson was ahead with his pocket pair, but the runout of {4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades} gave Smith the win with his pair of kings and he was able to score a double up.

Davies Doubles Through Volkmann

Level 21 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Bruno Volkmann had just chipped up after eliminating an opponent and had a chance to do it again when Seth Davies was all in from the small blind against Volkmann on the button.

Seth Davies: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Bruno Volkmann: {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

The flop landed {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} to give Davies a set and nothing changed on the {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} runout to keep him in contention, while Volkmann was left riding the short stack.

Yankov Falls to Volkmann

Level 21 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Krasimir Yankov was all in and at risk against the bigger-stacked Bruno Volkmann to his immediate right.

Krasimir Yankov: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Bruno Volkmann: {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The flop landed {9-Spades}{q-Clubs}{a-Clubs} to keep Volkmann in the lead and the runout of {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} didn't change things for Yankov to fall a few slots away from the money.
