Almost ... Almost ... D'oh!

Darren Woods: 1 vs. Andrew Seidman: 1

Moments after the elimination of Andrew Lichtenberger, Seidman and Woods got their money into the middle preflop.

Seidman was the shorter of the two stacks and just after we got there the cards were revealed:

Woods: {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Seidman: {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

The board was spread {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds} - chop it up, boys, this game ain't over yet!

First Semi-Final Underway!

The first semi-final has just begun on the feature table between Martin Gudvangen and Barry Woods.

Kyle McMurphy is still waiting for either Darren Woods or Andrew Seidman to finish their quarter final match.

All Woods, DeucesCracked Shattered

Darren Woods: 2 def. Andrew Seidman: 1

Seidman got the last of his money into the middle after Woods raised from the button. Woods snap-called, turning up {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} and found himself flipping against Seidman's {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

The dealer spread the board of {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} and it was all over! Seidman bows out in fifth place and Woods has booked his semi-final match-up against Kyle McMurphy.

Early Semi-Final Action

Martin Gudvangen vs. Barry Woods

With the blinds at 100/200, Gudvangen raised to 400 from the button before Woods reraised to 800 from the big blind.

Gudvangen called, then called Woods' bet of 1,100 on the flop of {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{a-Spades}.

Woods led out again for 2,200 on the turn of the {j-Spades} and Gudvangen called, only to muck after Woods fired out a third shell worth 2,500.

Gudvangen Doubles Through

Martin Gudvangen vs. Barry Woods

On a board that read {2-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, Woods led out for 1,300, only to see Gudvangen reraise all in for 3,200.

Woods went into the tank for about two minutes before making the call, tabling {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and was well behind the {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} of Gudvangen.

The {k-Hearts} completed the board to see Gudvangen double up.

Woods Takes the Lead

Martin Gudvangen: 0 vs. Barry Woods: 1

Moments after Gudvangen doubled up, he moved his money into the middle on a flop that read {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} with {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, only to be called down by Woods who tabled {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

The turn and river ran out {k-Clubs}, {6-Diamonds}; Woods still had Gudvangen covered and it's 1-0 to Woods.

Woods Jr. is Doing Good

Kyle McMurphy vs. Darren Woods

It's been relatively quiet over on the other semi-final table but we managed to pick up a pot between McMurphy and Woods.

McMurphy raised to 225 from the button before the flop and Woods called, before check-calling McMurphy's bet of 275 on the flop of {8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

On the turn of the {4-Hearts}, Woods checked, McMurphy fired a bet of 625 and Woods called before both players checked down the river {7-Hearts}.

McMurphy tabled his cards but the dealer whipped them into the muck after Woods revealed {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for middle pair which was good enough to take the pot down.

Their semi-final match is still locked at nil-all.

Woods Still Alive!

Kyle McMurphy vs. Darren Woods

On a board that read {5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}, McMurphy moved all in on the river and Woods called, only to muck when McMurphy showed {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for the nut straight.

Woods was left with just 1,100, but has since managed to double up twice in a row. The first double up saw Woods' {q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} hold up against McMurphy's {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, making a better flush on the board of {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.

Woods then moved all in preflop with {a-Hearts}{4-Spades} on the very next hand. McMurphy called with {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} but Woods hit two pair when the dealer spread the board of {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}.

The game is still tied up at 0-0.

Gudvangen Cheats Death

Barry Woods: 1 vs. Martin Gudvangen: 0

The money was all in the middle preflop between Woods and Gudvangen and we got there as the cards were tabled:

Gudvangen: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Woods: {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The flop was a very, very scary {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, giving Woods an open-ended straight draw and the chance to eliminate Gudvangen. However the turn and river ran out {3-Spades}, {2-Spades} to see Gudvangen double up to 7,200. The match is still very much alive!
