Small Pots So Far

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Since heads-up play began, the two players have been trading chips in small pots with minimal chip count changes.

On one hand, Ian Hamilton limped with {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Jack Sinclair checked his option with {7-Hearts}{4-Spades}. The {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop was checked to the {k-Hearts} turn where Sinclair check-called for 200,000, and both players checked the {8-Diamonds} river for Hamilton to pick up the pot.

On another hand, Sinclair raised to 500,000 with {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Hamilton defended with {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} board was checked to the river where Hamilton check-folded against a bet of 800,000.

Alexandre Vuilleumier Eliminated in 3rd Place (£296,150)

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Alexandre Vuilleumier
Alexandre Vuilleumier

Ian Hamilton open-shoved a stack of 3,800,000 from the button and Alexandre Vuilleumier called off with a stack of 3,025,000 from the big blind.

Alexandre Vuilleumier: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Ian Hamilton: {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Vuilleumier was at risk but had his opponent dominated and little changed on the flop of {9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades} other than Hamilton picking up a gutshot.

Hamilton's all-in run-good continued as he binked the {10-Clubs} on the turn to make the straight and Vuilleumier needed a jack on the river to stay alive. Vuilleumier didn't get it as the {3-Clubs} bricked off to mark his elimination in third place for £296,150.
