McCorkell Pressures Chen

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Craig McCorkell
Craig McCorkell

Andrew Chen opened for a raise of 53,000 and Craig McCorkell made the call from the big blind.

The flop was {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades} and McCorkell checked it over to Chen who continued for 65,000. McCorkell though check-raised him to 215,000 and Chen briefly paused before placing out the call.

The turn card was the {4-Clubs} and McCorkell moved all in. Chen had a fair bit of his stack in the middle already and took his time to count his stack and do some mental arithmetic, counting off on is fingers to help. With all his fingers accounted for he made the fold.

Chen Fighting Back

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Andrew Chen
Andrew Chen

He might still be one of the shorter stacks but Andrew Chen isn't going down without a fight. He opened to 50,000 preflop with Leonid Markin and Salman Behbehani calling from the blinds to see a {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop.

Both players checked across to Chen who won the pot with a 78,000 bet.

Chen Doubles; Quack Crippled

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Andrew Chen opened from the button for 60,000 and Martin Quack moved all in for a similar stack size to Chen. Kamao folded his big blind and Chen quickly called.

Chen showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Quack the {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}. The board ran out {4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Chen doubled his stack but left quack with just over one big blind.

On the next hand Quack was all in on the button with {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and got called by small blind Kamar and big blind Leonid Markin. Markin would push Kamar out on the river of a final board of {7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades} but his {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} lost out to Quack who tripled up to stay in the game for now.

The board came {4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Quack has survived, for now.

Quack On Track

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

He’s done it again. This time Martin Quack shoved from the button and Leonid Markin called from the big blind.

Quack had {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Markin held {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Markin stood up ready to see the cards came out as Quack calmly stayed in his seat.

The cards fell {4-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{q-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Quack continued his recovery.

Andrew Chen

Andrew Chen open-shoved for 588,000 in second position. It was passed to Salman Behbehani in the big blind who checked his cards, gave Chen's stack a resigned look and then reluctantly made the call.

Behbehani: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Chen: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The board came {3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and Chen doubled up to leave Behbehani the second shortest stack remaining.

Martin Quack Eliminated in 6th Place (£90,700)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Martin Quack
Martin Quack

Fady Kamar opened to 65,000 preflop and it was passed around to Martin Quack who shoved for 425,000. Kamar got a count and then made the call.

Kamar: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Quack: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

There was no help on the {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{A-Spades} flop for Quack but the {A-Hearts} turn gave him two overs, a flush draw and a counterfeit pair draw to hit. Somehow he missed all of these on the {7-Diamonds} river and was knocked out in 6th place.
