All Smiles With One to Go

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Marcin Sobczak opened for 28,000 and it folded round to the big blind Olivier Doremus who moved all in. Sobczak wanted a count before he made a decision, and once he had it he decided to fold.

On the next hand it folded to Kevin Chiem on the button who moved all in and he picked up the blinds and antes.

The next few hands saw the big blind get a walk and then Cameron Tullis surrendered his big blind to a min-raise from Charles Nguyen in the small blind.

Despite being one away from the final table there are a few players who are not afraid to move the chips in and a jovial atmosphere currently prevails amongst the final 10 survivors.

Brian Wong Doubles Up

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

First we saw two limps from Marcin Sobczak and Charles Nguyen before Cameron Tullis one seat over moved all in for 62,000 and both opponents as well as the rest of the table folded.

Then, Corey Emery raised the button to 27,000 and David Luttbeg flat called one seat over. Brian Wong moved all in for 61,000 and Emery folded. Luttbeg took his time and eventually made the call, tabling the {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Wong showed {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} and immediately found a set on the {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop. The {9-Spades} gave hope with a gutshot but the {K-Clubs} silenced the rail.

Cameron Tullis Eliminated In 10th Place ($4,888)

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Cameron Tullis
Cameron Tullis

Cameron Tullis moved all in from under the gun for about ten big blinds and all opponents folded. One hand later, he three-bet shoved into an open raise from Corey Emery and was snap called. That is usually never a good sign when you hold ace king and indeed the showdown would be painful.

Tullis: {K-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Emery: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

The rail erupted with "come on Corey" cheers and itt was all over on the {10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} turn. A meaningless {7-Diamonds} completed the board and the players will now get moved to the feature table. We then likely have a dinner break and keep you up to date as soon as we know more. There will be 37:34 minutes left to be played in level 17 when we continue.
