Big Double for Basdeo

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Ramlal Basdeo
Ramlal Basdeo

Ramlal Basdeo check-called a bet by Yimin Yang on the {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop and check-raised the {6-Hearts} turn to quickly call the shove of Yang.

Basdeo was miles ahead with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} versus {q-}{9-} and had already locked up the double for 78,800 by the time the meaningless {8-Hearts} fell on the river.

Xanthopoulos Eliminated

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Down to a mere 9,300, Christos Xanthopoulos moved all in from the hijack and was called by Alexander Schechter in the cutoff.

Xanthopoulos was at risk with {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} versus {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and the board came {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} to provide the ace on the flop.

Pavlos Xanthopoulos is doing much better as he made it all the way up to more than three times the starting stack.

Morrison Also Busts Smith

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The hot run of Ben Morrison of the last few hours continues as he sent yet another player to the rail. This time it was Craig Smith who got it in with the {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Morrison took the flip with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

On a {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop Morrison instantly flopped the nuts and the {a-Clubs} turn gave him the check mark, the {2-Spades} river was meaningless already.

Chris Da-Silva is also no longer feature on that table either.

Moorman Gets Some Back

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Terry Jordon called a bet of 15,000 by Chris Moorman on the river of a board {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and was fearing a queen, which Moorman indeed had with the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Despite that setback, Jordon remains well up on his second bullet and near the current top five on the leaderboard.

Cordeiro dos Santos and Hairapetyan Rising

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Bhavin Khatri has re-entered and defending champion James Williams will have to do so again when his flush draw came up short against a turned top pair. Fellow 2018 finalist Aleem Kanji is also back in for his third bullet of the day.

Valdir Cordeiro dos Santos won a pot against Kim Johansson when they both checked the {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} river in a pot of 29,500. Cordeiro dos Santos tabled the {k-Spades}{10-Hearts} for top pair and won the pot.

Victor Hairapetyan announced he would "gamble" out of the small blind when he got it in after a {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop and James Uglow fell for it with the {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Hairapetyan tabled {10-Spades}{9-Clubs} for the nuts and two blanks followed on turn and river.

Khatri Busts Once More; Jordon Doubles Through Moorman

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Bhavin Khatri in the big blind called a raise and a call by Ben Morrison and then check-shoved a flop of {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} to turn over {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for bottom pair. Apparently he thought he had pocket eights and he went into showdown against the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} of Morrison.

The {6-Spades} turn and {3-Diamonds} river changed nothing and Khatri headed to the registration desk.

In the meanwhile, Chris Moorman used two time banks and called the shove of Terry Jordon on the {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} river. Jordon had the nuts with {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and doubled, Moorman briefly showed his cards and mucked.
