Carden Curbs Ortega

Laura Fryer

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Joseph Carden and Jacques Ortega were already at the turn with a 8♠Q♥J♠9♣ board when Ortega had bet around 1,000,000 into a 1,000,000 pot. Carden raised to 1,695,000, forcing Ortega to go all in if he found a call.

Ortega stood from the table and deliberated the decision for a while before moving a stack of chips in to call.

Jacques Ortega: 8♥8♣
Joseph Carden: A♣10♦

Ortega was sitting with a set of eights which he had hit on the flop, but Carden was ahead with the straight, which he had made on the turn.

The river came the 2♣ which didn't improve Ortega, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

David "Bakes" Baker shoved for his last 570,000 from the hijack and Taras Sopotnytskyi announced he was all in for more on the button. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

David "Bakes" Baker: A♠8♦ All in
Taras Sopotnytskyi: A♥K♦

Baker found himself dominated, and the J♦Q♣4♣2♦9♥ runout provided no help to send the rest of his chips Sopotnytskyi's direction.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

James Kohl raised to 150,000 in early position, Niklas Astedt three-bet to 400,000 in the cutoff, and Kohl called.

The flop came 8♦10♥3♦ and Astedt moved all in. "Okay, let's go," Kohl said as he called for 700,000.

James Kohl: A♦4♦ All in
Niklas Astedt: A♠K♠

Kohl had a flush draw against Astedt's superior ace, but he missed the 7♠ turn and 2♠ river as Astedt went past 9,000,000 with the bustout.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 8♠2♣K♣J♠ with over a million in the pot arleady, Kyosuke Nagami check-called a 540,000 bet from Kavin Shah.

The 5♣ completed the board and Nagami shoved for approximately two million, which was enough to put Shah all in for slightly less.

"Set no good?" Shah inquired as he weighed his decision. Nagami remained silent.

Shah eventually put in a call and Nagami turned over A♣J♣ for the nut flush.

Shah showed he held 8♣8♥ for a set of eights — eliminating him late in the evening.

Kevin Ordet was at risk with Edward Pak looking to thin down the field and add to his stack.

Kevin Ordet: 5x5x
Edward Pak: A♣10♦

The runout of Q♦6♦A♥10♥A♠ gave Pak a full house, which left Ordet on the sidelines as players approach the last break of the night.

Calum Grant

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The middle position player meant to make it 100,000, but failed to announce raise thus the action was ruled as a call. This prompted Kevin Killeen to raise to 250,000 from the hijack. Action folded to Brandon Cantu in the small blind and he made it 675,000. The middle position player folded. Killeen moved all in for around 2,400,000 and Cantu quickly called.

Kevin Killeen: KxKx
Brandon Cantu: JxJx

Cantu was in rough shape and remained behind after the Q♦2♦2♣ flop. However, the J♣ turn saw Cantu make a full house to take the lead ahead of the 3♣ river.

Cantu didn't even bother stacking his chips, and after pulling off the suckout, he went for a quick walk around the Horseshoe Events Centre.

Christopher Brammer raised to 105,000 from the cutoff with K♦K♣ and Ryan Sang three-bet to 300,000 with A♠9♠ from the button. Brammer four-bet to 725,000 and Sang folded.

A few hands later Brammer raised to 105,000 from a middle position and Sang moved all in for 1,255,000 from the hijack.

Ryan Sang: A♥K♦ All in
Christopher Brammer: J♠J♥

The flop came 10♥8♠5♥ which didn't change too much. The 5♦ turn and Q♦ couldn't save Sang and he bust the tournament.
