Hand #121: Brice Wins 31Million Chip Pot

Level 38 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Hand #121: Thomas Hemming raised the button to 1.2million with {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, and Brice called the small blind with {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The flop came {5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{5-Spades}, and the action quickly went check-check.

Brice took the betting lead for 2million on the {k-Spades} turn, and Hemming called.

On the {j-Hearts} river Brice bet a massive 12million into the 7million pot.

Hemming thought through the hand for several minutes, as he had previously done before holding a single chip in his hand and motioning it up and down undecidedly. Hemming then slowly moved his single chip into the middle and dropped it to signal a call.

Brice revealed his full house and the 31million pot was moved towards him to take a big chip lead.

Thomas Hemming Eliminated in 3rd Place (£75,000)

Level 38 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Hand #131: Thomas Hemming raised to 1.2m on the button with {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Chris Brice folded the small blind and Daniel Clark had {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} in the big blind. Clark moved all in and the decision was back on Hemming.

After some thought Hemming called, and seemed relatively happy with his decision as the flop came {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} meaning there were ten outs to save Hemming (any ace, ten, five or nine.

Unfortunately the river was the {8-Spades} giving Clark a full house, and after some double-checking from the tournament staff, Hemming was just covered by Clark and was eliminated.
