Cech Wins Some Off Cortese

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Eric Cech
Eric Cech

While Clement Tripodi has become active on table one and won some chips, then lost them back, the action on table two is typically dominated by Francesco Cortese as initial raiser. The Italian just opened again and Eric Cech defended the big blind. On the {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, Cech check-called a bet worth 175,000 before the {3-Spades} turn and {9-Clubs} river went check, check.

Cech showed {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Cortese mucked.

Kassam Doubles Through Kahan

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

David Kahan previously scored a lucky double through Rehman Kassam and the latter just took revenge in a battle of the blinds. Kahan had found a premium with {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} in the small blind and Kassam was all in and at risk out of the big blind for 630,000 with the {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}.

The flop came {6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Kassam picked up a few more outs. After the {A-Diamonds} turn, he improved to two pair and even made a full house with the {A-Hearts} river. "Can you smile now please, bro" Daniel Harwood said while the pot was shipped to Kassam.

Kahan was left with less than five big blinds.

Slow Restart

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

The two remaining tables are playing rather slow after coming back from the break and barely any notable hand took place. After a couple of raise and take its, Eric Cech raised to 110,000 and David Kahan shoved from the cutoff to claim the pot.

Then, Alexis Fleur raised to 110,000 from the button and Daniel Harwood defended the big blind. The duo checked the {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop and Harwood's bet of 155,000 on the {3-Clubs} turn won the pot.

Paul Skipper Eliminated in 15th Place (£7,070)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Paul Skipper
Paul Skipper

Paul Skipper raised from early position to 80,000 and the action folded around to James Mitchell in the big blind, who three-bet. Skipper then four-bet all in for around 950,000 and Mitchell quickly called.

Paul Skipper: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
James Mitchell: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

What seemed to be destined to become a split pot saw Mitchell freeroll the flop of {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Skipper faced the ultimate sweat on the {J-Clubs} turn. Sure enough, the {10-Clubs} appeared on the river and Mitchell made a four-card flush to eliminate Skipper in 15th place for £7,070.
