Robinson Sent to the Rail

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Benjamin Robinson raised to 6,500 pre flop from middle position and was re raised by Christian Harder to 18,500 from the small blind. Robinson called and the flop ran out {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Harder led out for 20,000 and Robinson called. The {4-Spades} fell on the turn. Harder bet the pot and Robinson called for his remaining 38,500 chips.

Harder flipped up {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and Robinson flipped up {k-Spades}{q-Spades}. The river brought the {6-Hearts} and Harder increased his chip stack to 250,000.

Palmer Eliminated

Celestino is now up to 175,000.

Paasonen Chips Up

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Mika Paasonen and Mikhail Lakhitov were involved in a hand together shortly after the dinner break. Lakhitov raised to 6,500 before the flop and Paasonen called.

The flop came up {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. Lakhitov bet 7,500 and Passonene called. The turn brought the {6-Spades}.

Lakhitov bet 17,500 and Passonene raised to 31,500. Lakhitov folded and Passonene took down the pot.

Nolan Nicked by Marsh

Sean Nolan opened under the gun with a raise to 10,500 only to have Luke Marsh announce a pot bet from late position as the blinds quickly folded. Nolan committed his final 19,500 and the cards were placed on their backs.

Nolan: {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Marsh: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop gave Marsh the lead, and when the {Q-Hearts} fell on the turn, Nolan would need to spike his two-outer to stay alive.

Unfortunately for him the river was the {3-Clubs} to send Nolan to the rail as Marsh climbs to 240,000 in chips.
