Crazy Feature Table Action Swallows Our Break Time and Leaves Spindler Short

[user46392]

Raymond Wu opened for 62,000 and Benny Spindler called form the button to see a {J-Diamonds}

flop.

Wu bet out 75,000 and Spindler called again to see a {Q-Spades}

turn. Wu now checked, but called 112,000 from Spindler.

The river was the {J-Spades}

and Wu checked again -- and this time was faced with a 250,000 bet from Spindler. He tanked up for many break-time minutes, before calling with {K-Spades}

. Spindler turned over a beaten {A-Spades}

and is left with 700,000 or so; Wu meanwhile is up to 1.7 million.

Level: 24

Blinds: 15,000/30,000

Ante: 3,000

Blind Leading the Blind

[user46392]

Early second level action has been limited, with very few hands on the non-feature tables getting as far as a flop.

One curious hand that did see a flop, however, was a blind on blind confrontation between Rodrigo Caprioli (small blind) and Martin Gudvangen (big). They saw a {9-Spades}

flop, to be precise, and Caprioli checked. Gudvangen bet an experimental-looking 41,000, but Caprioli now made it 130,000. Back to Gudvangen, who thought about it briefly before reraising to 310,000. Caprioli folded, and the pot was his.

Wu Wu! Phone Police!

[user46392]

Raymond Wu was spotted seated at the feature table, blithely chatting away on his phone. He was told that he couldn't do that and was made to turn it off. Bad Raymond!

Adam York Eliminated In 18th Place (£17,000)

[user76023]

Benny Spindler raised to 65,000 and Adam York reraised all-in for 575,000 and the German called.

York: {5-Diamonds}

Spindler:

The board came {4-Diamonds}

, the flip going the way of Spindler who has recovered to back over a million chips.

Annette Obrestad Eliminated in 17th Place (£17,000)

[user46392]

Dominic Cullen raised to 70,000 in the cutoff, and Peter Eastgate shoved from the button. Over to Annette Obrestad in the small blind, who re-shove. A million railers appeared out of the ether to witness it. Cullen looked briefly very unhappy under the hood of his anorak, and then folded. On their A-list backs.

Eatgate: {J-Clubs}

Obrestad:

Board:

Eastgate doubled to over 1 million, while Obrestad was crippled to 230,000.

She quietly anted away for a few hands before moving all in in early position. Ivo Donev made the call.

Obrestad: {K-Hearts}

Donev:

Board:

We are down to 16 players, who are currently being shuffled around in the redraw for the last two tables.
