Saxby Loses Out to Spinks

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 500 ante

On a {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop, the blinds checked to Kelly Saxby on the button who bet 5,200. Both the small blind and Jon Spinks in the big blind called and the turn was the {2-Hearts}.

Again it checked to Saxby who bet 11,500. Spinks was the only caller. Both players checked the {7-Hearts} on the river.

"Two pair," announced Spinks, showing {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a missed flush draw, but rivered two pair. Saxby appeared to wince before throwing her cards into the muck.

First Hand, First Elimination

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 500 ante

On the very first hand of Day 1c, Garry Spinks raised to 2,500 from under the gun. With the action just five-handed Tyler Goatcher three-bet in position to 7,000. Spinks then four-bet to 26,000 and Goatcher five-bet to 45,000. Spinks called.

The flop came {a-}{3-Diamonds}{8-} and both players checked. Spinks bet 15,000 on the {2-Diamonds} turn and Goatcher called. The river was another {3-}. Spinks bet 15,000 and Goatcher moved all in for his remaining stack. Spinks called.

Goatcher turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} with Spinks slamming the table with {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. Spinks was sent to the exit, with Goatcher quickly moving to double starting stack.

It's a case of two down with two to go, with the last of the starting flights in the 2018 partypoker LIVE UK Poker Championships £1,100 Main Event getting underway later today. By the time Day 1c, which kicks off at 12 pm, and Day 1d, which gets underway at 5 pm, conclude, we will have a confirmed Day 2 field.

Plenty of players have already confirmed their spots in Day 2, including Day 1a chip leader Adam Neal and Day 1b chip leader Ludovic Geilich. partypoker Ambassador Marcel Luske and UK Poker Championships £5,300 Super High Roller winner Steven Morris also advanced from Day 1a, and will have the luxury of watching from the sidelines to see who else joins them.

Just like yesterday, players will have 12 levels of 40-minutes to grow their 100,000 stack to see if they can rival the seven-figure stack of Day 1b chip leader Geilich, who is the overall chip leader at this stage.
