Sheary Doubles, Boxell in Trouble

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Given that we're just two eliminations from the money, the pressure is starting to mount and it definitely showed during a hand between Leo Boxell and Adam Stoneham.

It was four-way action between Stoneham, Boxell, Andrew Jeffreys and Tim Davis on a flop that read {7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{Q-Spades}; Jeffreys and Davis checked out of the small and big blinds respectively before Stoneham led out for 7,000. Boxell was the only caller, making it heads-up to the turn of the {6-Clubs}.

Stoneham announced that he was all-in for 36,700 and Boxell went into the tank. Deep into the tank ...

... and while Boxell was thinking about his decision, the cry of "All in, call" went up behind them at table 32, where Peter Sheary had open-shoved from the cutoff for his last 23,900 with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

Sheary was flipping for his tournament life against Ami Barer's {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}, but managed to double up to 48,500 after he hit the king on the turn on the board that read {9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

Our focus then turned back to the feature table, where Boxell was still deep in the tank. After eight agonizing minutes, he folded, showing the {Q-Clubs}. Stoneham showed {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. "Oh well, we're two away from the money," Boxell sighed. Boxell is down to 35,000 while Stoneham moves up to more than 60,000.
