Ross Parkhill is currently sitting behind a stack of almost half the chips in a play and most of those chips came courtesy of a big pot he just won off Mark Betts.
The action was folded to Betts in the small blind and he raised it to 49,000. Betts quickly called and the flop was dealt. Parkhill then bet 55,000 and Betts instantly called. The on the turn didn't slow Parkhill down, throwing out 130,000. Betts again called and this time the was dealt on the felt.
On the river, Parkhill continued his betting, firing out 275,000. It didn't take long for Betts to make the call. When Parkhill turned over his , Betts sent his cards straight into the muck with Parkhill's turned straight more than enough to take down the giant pot.
The eights keep coming for Sam Capra, as he's had the pocket pair twice more this level.
First up, he button raised and c-bet bet a flop. Ross Parkhill defended his big blind and was shown the pair after he check-folded on the flop.
A couple of orbits later Capra peeled from the big blind after Mark Betts raised from the small blind. They both checked the board all the way down and Capra opened to scoop.
What he needs more than eights are chips though. He's the shortest stack on 450,000.
Michal Polchlopek opened the pot from the cutoff seat and Mark Betts made the call in the big blind. Betts then check-called a bet of 35,000 from Polchlopek on a flop.
The on the turn led Betts to again check and this time Polchlopek bet 90,000. This is when Betts raised, making it a total of 200,000. It only took a few moments for Polchlopek to decided what to do, shoving his stack all-in. Betts thought for some time before making the call.
Polchlopek turned over his and when the came on the river, it changed nothing as Betts sent his cards into the muck. Once the chips were counted out, Betts was left with just 14,000. The next hand Betts was all in for less than a big blind and was eliminated in 4th place.
Michal Polchlopek, as we've written before today, is the most aggressive player on show. The fewer players there are, the more it plays into his hands. I's been all him since three-handed play began. He's raised every hand, three-bet a bunch, and the the most hands all without showing down once. This has enabled him to add 400,000 to his stack with little effort.
The other two better up their aggression levels or he'll have a very big chip lead come heads-up play.
Play has been very slow during the final three here in the bounties event. Michal Polchlopek still has control, with Ross Parkhill not far behind. There has not been a showdown a long time and the last several hands has seen no flops being dealt.
There came a time when Sam Capra had to stop folding and stick his chips in the middle. Unfortunately for him, he did it when an opponent had flopped trips.
Capra raised to 55,000 from the button and both his opponents called from the blinds. The flop came down and Capra shoved for his remaining 290,000 when the action was on him. Michal Polchlopek folded from the small blind but Ross Parkhill called from the big blind.
Carpra: for an open-ended straight draw.
Parkhill: for trip nines.
