Affleck Done

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Matt Affleck pushed all in after the button raised to 5,000. Affleck only had 25,000. His opponent called and the cards were flipped.

Affleck: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Affleck was flipping but the flop really hurt him when it came the {2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Spades}. The {6-Diamonds} was no help on the turn and the {8-Hearts} on the river did it for Affleck. He was sent to the payout desk to collect his earnings.

Long Busts One

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Casey Long had been moving in the wrong direction for the last few levels. So it was a welcomed surprise when he woke up holding {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} against his opponent's {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. The board ran out {q-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Long's aces hold, eliminating his opponent.

Austin Tries to Play Bully

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Ryan Austin tried to bully his opponent and it did not work out. He raised in late position with {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}. His opponent three bet to 15,000 from the blinds with {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. Austin tries to get his opponent off his jacks by pushing him all in. His opponent called and Austin was in trouble. {3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} gave only a small sweat and Austin lost a few. He is still a big stack and a threat with less than 60 players to go.

Al-Shurieki Close To Doubles

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

A middle position player raised to 5,800 and was reraised all in by the player in the hijack. Samer Al-Shurieki, the cutoff, also went all in for slightly more. This caused the middle position player to think and eventually fold showing the {A-Spades}.

Al-Shurieki: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Hijack: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

It was all but over on the {2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop and the {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} turn and river did not help the hijack. Al-Shurieki's kings win the pot and added some much needed chips to his stack.

Phil Hui Gets It In Good

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We just saw the board {4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} | {5-Clubs} | {7-Diamonds} and Hui was about to receive 77,700 more from one of his opponents. That unlucky soul had {8-}{8-} while Hui had shown {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Hui is now racking up lots of black chips which we'll get rid of this upcoming break. We suspect he has about 180,000 now, but will confirm after the break.

A preflop raising war found all the chips in the middle between Kyle Cartwright with {A-Spades}{k-Hearts} and Daniel Brickwell's {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

The flop of {3-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} gave Cartwright the lead with a pair of aces. Brickwell took back the lead with the {q-Hearts} turn however Cartwright picked up the flush draw. The {7-Hearts} river completed Cartwright's flush and a huge pot. Brickwell was stunned as he left the tournament area in 55th place.
