Hamilton Brings the End for Kitt

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Thomas Kitt jammed his final 22,400 chips in from the button and Gareth Hamilton looked him up from the small blind with the covering stack.

Thomas Kitt: Q♣9♣ All in
Gareth Hamilton: J♥J♠

The J♦10♥4♣ flop made Hamilton a set but Kitt was still alive with his straight draw. However, it did not come in on the Q♦7♥ runout and Kitt left the tournament area, ready to smoke a cigar outside.

Chan Eliminates Gleeson in Huge Pot

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Kwan Chan in the small blind and Eoin Gleeson in the big blind had created a pot of 70,000 chips when they arrived on the turn of 7♣3♥10♥10♦, which they both checked.

The 10♠ river was then dealt and Chan checked once more. Gleeson, however, announced his all-in for 42,400. Chan spent some minutes in the tank before finally committing to a call.

"You're good," Gleeson declared before showing his A♠Q♠ for ace-high. Chan tabled J♠J♦ for a full house and scooped up a very big pot while Gleeson was left empty-handed.

McInally Fails to Triple Up Against Zoufri

Frank Visser

Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Hakim Zoufri raised to 2,000 from the hijack and Gerald McInally called in the cutoff. Gerald McInally then tossed in his 10,600 chips from the button and Adrian Andritz called that in the big blind.

With the action back on Zoufri, he four-bet to 45,000, the vast majority of his stack. Kennedy got out of the way and Andritz followed suit after thinking it over for a few minutes, leading to a heads up showdown.

Gerald McInally: Q♠Q♣
Hakim Zoufri: A♣Q♥

It was the dream spot for McInally, and it was looking good for him on the 2♠10♦4♦7♥ runout. However, "Barry" came looking on the A♦ river and destroyed his dreams. The sizable pot was sent Zoufri's way, who ascended above the average stack with this pot.

Mullin's Trap Eliminates Delkof

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

David Cleary had raised preflop from under the gun and Patrick Delkof three-bet from the hijack. Emmett Mullin called cold on the button and Cleary tossed in the extra chips as well.

On the 4♥5♦4♠ flop, Cleary checked to Delkof, who continued for 4,500. Mullin tossed in a call before Cleary got out of the way. Delkof then tossed in his final 10,000 chips on the 4♣ turn and Mullin immediately called.

Patrick Delkof: A♠K♥ All in
Emmett Mullin: K♠K♣

"It's going in pre anyway, why the cold call?" Delkof asked with audible frustration.

Meanwhile, the 5♠ river completed the board and Mullin scooped up the sizable pot without much regret.

Farrelly Gets It In Dead

Frank Visser

Level 7 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With 20,000 chips already in the middle, Terry Farrelly got his final 22,000 chips in from early position on a turn of 8♥8♣9♣A♥ against Cosmin Deac in middle position.

Terry Farrelly: 3♥2♥ All in
Cosmin Deac: 9♥9♠

Farrelly's flush draw was useless against the full house of Deac, and he stood up and left while the K♣ completed the board.

Le Grabs Chip Lead After Hero Call

Frank Visser

Level 7 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Jamie Le and Antoine Savaria were heads up on a turn of A♣8♣2♥7♣. Le checked from the cutoff to Savaria on the button, who made a bet of 8,000 into the pot of 40,000 chips.

Le then put Savaria all in for 24,000 chips total, which sent the latter into the tank. Eventually, the clock was called, but Savaria slammed in a call before the floor had to come over.

Antoine Savaria: J♠J♥ All in
Jamie Le: A♠6♠

Le's pair of aces held firm on the 9♥ river, resulting in Savaria's exit from the tournament. Le, on the other hand, chipped up to more than six starting stacks.
