Parkhill Finds Some Irish Luck to Double

Ross Parkhill tank-folded to a three-bet shove from Adam Cusenza but moments later he was making sure he got his chips in first.

Michal Polchlopek opened to 17,500 before Parkhill moved his last 137,000 chips over the line. Oliver Speidel was sat behind and moved all-in to isolate. It worked as Polchlopek moved out of the way.

Parkhill: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Speidel: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Parkhill would settle for that.

Betts Accepts Olive Branch

Mark Betts was on the slide but picked off an Oliver Speidel bluff to move back up to 700,000 chips.

Speidel opened to 22,000 and was called in two spots en route to a {q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop. He continued for 40,000 and was only called by Betts. Both players checked the {5-Clubs} turn before Speidel had a stab with a 60,000 bet on the {2-Diamonds} river. Betts called with pocket fours, beating his opponent's king-ten.

Pick-Axe Pickering

Someone get Jamie Pickering a drink. We've never witnessed him play so few hands.

He just played one against Mark Betts but played it very cautiously, for him. He raised to 29,000 and Betts defended his big blind to see a {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop. Pickering continued for 42,000 and was check-called to the {q-Clubs} turn. The two players checked there and on the {j-Spades} river. Pickering opened {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Betts mucked.
