Mamut Gets Lucky to Eliminate Wrafter

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Nikolai Mamut raised to 2,000 from middle position and received a call from David Docherty on the button. Joseph Wrafter then pushed all in from the small blind for 22,000, which only Mamut called.

Joseph Wrafter: AK All in
Nikolai Mamut: A10

Wrafter had the dominating hand, but that changed once Mamut paired on the 4210 flop. Neither the 9 turn nor J river saw Wrafter improve, resulting in his departure from the table.

Tordjman Bluffs Into Welbourne's Set

Level 7 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Daniel Tordjman in the hijack checked to Samuel Welbourne on the button on a flop of 927. Welbourne then bet 1,300 chips, which Tordjman raised to 4,000.

Welbourne tossed in a call and did so too when Tordjman continued fo 7,200 on the 2 turn. The 8 river saw Tordjman complete his triple barrel with an all-in bet of 14,100, and Welbourne snap called with the covering stack.

Tordjman tabled QJ for queen-high, while Welbourne raked in the pot with 77 for a full house.

Three-way to a turn of 810Q6, Mark Baxter checked out of the big blind to Brady Hinnegan under the gun, who made a bet of 5,000 into the pot of 10,000 chips.

Gustafsson Gets Full Value to Grab Chip Lead

Level 4 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Ulf Gustafsson
Ulf Gustafsson

In a four-way pot between Ulf Gustafsson in the small blind, Paul McGann in the big blind, Raitis Romanovs under the gun, and Keith Smith in the hijack, 4,000 chips had been gathered.

The flop read 1093 and the action checked to Smith, who fired a bet of 3,000. Gustafsson then made it 8,000 to go, which folded out McGann. Romanovs, however, called cold and Smith tossed in the extra chips as well.

On the subsequent 4 turn, Gustafsson sized up to 15,000. Romanovs quickly folded but Smith still stuck around with a call. Gustaffson then put Smith all in for 16,000 on the 10 river and the latter slammed in a call.

Gustafsson tabled KK for two pair with kings, beating the JJ Smith showed. Smith headed towards the exit while Gustafsson chipped up to a six-figure stack.

Hurson Accidentally Sends Out Quinn

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Garry Hurson
Garry Hurson

James Quinn jammed in his final 5,000 or so chips from under the gun. Garry Hurson sat in the small blind and did not see Quinn's raise, trying to raise against Seamus Cahill in the big blind instead. After an explanation, Hurson had to call Quinn and the cards went on their backs.

James Quinn: JJ
Garry Hurson: A2

The 395 flop gave Hurson a draw to the wheel, and it came in on the 4 turn. Quinn had no outs left to hit as the 2 river completed the board, and he booked an early exit out of the Main Event.
