Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The pot had already swelled to approximately 90,000 with two players looking at a board of 2♥3♥7♥4♦.

Gary Bluston, in the big blind, checked the action to Ilan Elghanian, in middle position. Elghanian moved all in for 91,000, sending Bluston into the tank.

Bluston thought for some time before finally making a big call.

Ilan Elghanian: K♦J♥ All in
Gary Bluston: 8♥7♣

Bluston's weak top pair stayed in front on the 3♣, sending Elghanian to the rail in this huge pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Robert-Alexandru Patrascu moved all in for around 15,000, from the hijack. Euan McNicholas moved all in for 31,000 from the small blind, and Tim Jones, in the big blind, called off the bet to have them both at risk.

Robert-Alexandru Patrascu: J♣10♦ All in
Euan McNicholas: 4♣4♥ All in
Tim Jones: Q♥Q♦

The Q♠Q♣8♣ flop brought little sweat for the three players as Jones had flopped quads. The 10♣ turn did give Patrascu one out to a straight flush, but the 6♣ river changed nothing. Jones' quads scored a double bust out.

Tim Jones	140,000 50,000	50,000

Goldman Tries Calling the Cards

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action was caught as Mor Kamber, in the small blind, was all in and at risk for her effective stack of approximately 30,000, against Edward Goldman, on the button.

Mor Kamber: 7♠7♣ All in
Edward Goldman: A♣J♠

The 10♦9♣8♥ flop brought a sweat for Goldman as it gave him an open-ended straight draw, however, Kamber held two of his outs. Despite Goldman's calls to the dealer to give Kamber a set, the 2♦ turn and 4♥ saw her hold to double up.
