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.

Philippe D'Auteuil

Jorryt van Hoof Eliminated In 8th Place (£49,400)

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Jorryt van Hoof
Jorryt van Hoof

Jorryt van Hoof opened the pot for 55,000 and Leonid Markin called from the small blind.

They saw a heads-up flop of {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Markin decided to lead for 60,000. Van Hoof pondered for a short while before splashing out a chunk of red T25000 chips for a big raise. Markin announced all in and van Hoof called instantly.

Van Hoof had flopped top set {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} but he was in for a nasty surprise as Markin tabled the {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} straight. The turn card {8-Diamonds} and river {k-Spades} couldn’t pair the board for the November Niner and his chips were pushed to Markin who hit the 3,000,000 mark.
