Hoal Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 6 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a heads-up pot of A97, it checked to Jonathan Hoal and he bet a hefty 10,000. Corne Schalkwyk tank-folded the A and was shown the A. The other card was flashed to Hoal's table neighbour Clinton Heap only, who then said he was very happy to have folded ace-ten.

"I didn't want to see any more diamond," Hoal replied.

Schweiger Eliminated by Bock

Level 5 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The Hendon Mob battle between two Germans indeed unfolded as part of a five-way flop of K84 with 6,000 in the middle. It checked to Jon Persent and he bet 2,000. Hermann Schweiger raised to 5,100 with around 6,000 behind and Toran Tate folded. Florian Bock then check-raised to 15,000 and Persent folded, Schweiger called all-in with the words "no choice".

Hermann Schweiger: 74 All in
Florian Bock: A6

The four was ahead but the 6 turn left Schweiger in desperate shape. Bock locked up the elimination with the Q river for good measure.
