Nick Wright Finds Aces; Climbs to 60,000
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
Nick Wright can usually be found reporting on the UKIPT and other major live events. Today he is playing in one and we are having to report on him. Wright seems to be more than holding his own right now and is armed with 60,000 chips.
On a 
board, Wright fired a 1,225 bet from the blind and Oliver Prior, in late position, decided to call. The 
on the river did not slow Wright down and he bet two yellow chips worth a combined 2,000. Prior called, but he really shouldn't have as Wright held 
. Nice hand, sir.

Dale Destroys McLellan
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
Matt Dale may be Mr APAT, but his play is anything but amateur. Dale has just stacked Duncan McLellan.
The chips went into the middle of the felt on a 
flop, Dale holding the and McLellan the far inferior and dominated 
. The turn locked up the hand for Dale and McLellan had already left his seat by the time the 
landed on the river.

Trickett Takes a Hit
![[user252447]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
Sitting in the small blind, and with blinds at 150 / 300 with a 25 ante, Sam Trickett called a raise and a call from two players.
All three players checked the flop of 
A hit the turn and Trickett lead out for 3,000 only to face two stubborn callers.
When the 
came on the river, Trickett decided to see just how stubborn his opponents really wanted to be and fired out a bet of 11k.
Seat 2 liked his cards enough to call but Seat 3 liked his even more, raising the bet to 28,000.
Trickett gave it some thought but folded pretty quickly. Seat 2 thought for a while before he too surrendered his cards.
The dent to his stack leaves Trickett with just over 30,000
When asked about the strength of his hand he replied, “Well, I folded two cards.”
Theodore Shoves on Cadenel
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
First to act, Francisco da Costa Santos open-limped for 300. To his immediate left was Sebastian Cadenel who raised to 2,300. A couple of folds later and it was the turn of Paul Theodore to act on the button. He removed the pink package of chewing gum from the top of his cards and then called. Jamie Burland called from the big blind and when da Costs Santos folded, the dealer got busy spreading the flop.
Flop: 
- Burland tapped the table and checked, Cadenel fired a 3,500 bet into the middle and Theodore raised to 10,550. Burland let out a sigh as he sent his cards back to the dealer, and Cadenel called.
Turn: - Cadenel instantly checked and then instantly called as Theodore put out a 5,500 bet.
River: - More instant checked by Cadenel was met with an all-in bet of 17,000 from Theodore. Cadenel, who looked like a man who knew he should have folded on the flop, released his hand.
Spinks Chases Wembley Dream
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
Jon Spinks fired a bet of 5,200 on the turn of a 
board against Yucel Eminoglu, the latter called to see a 
on the river. Spinks bet 13,300 and Eminoglu instantly folded.
Spinks has about 50,000 at the moment, he should've had more but misclick/bluffed about 15,000 when he thought his opponent had only bet 1/5th of pot instead of an amount five time that size.

We're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat...
Level 2
: 150/300, 0 ante
Former EPT champion Ramsi Jelassi is up to almost 100,000 after a substantial double up through Michal Polchlopek. Jelassi had check-raised a 2,800 bet to 7,000 on a flop of 
before firing 10,000 on the 
turn. Polchlopek called this bet and then took little more than a minute to call the all-in shove for 30,000 on the 
river.
Jelassi flipped for a flopped full house which was more than enough to beat the Pole.
