Warburton Wins Back-to-BackHands
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Steven Warburton is ending the night on a high note thanks to winning back-to-back hands.
Despite being shoved on the last time he raised Sam Trickett, Warburton opened to 1,500 and Trickett responded with a three-bet to 4,000. Kuljinder Sidhu cold-called in the big blind and Warburton reached for chips before four-betting to 10,800. Trickett counted his stack (around 26,000 after the raise) before folding, and Sidhu let his hand go, too.
The next hand. Richard Trigg decided 1,400 was what he'd charge his opponents to see a flop, a bet that only Warburton called. Warburton then checked the 
flop and called a 1,600 bet. A similar pattern emerged on the 
turn, Warburton check-calling a 4,100 bet from Trigg. The 
completed the community cards and both players checked.
Warburton opened the 
for top pair, and Trigg mucked.
Kamel Slain
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Tamer Kamel's High Roller quest has ended prematurely after flopping a set and getting his chips into the middle against the flopped straight of Terry Jordon, a scenario that rarely ends well for the weaker hand. Kamel didn't boat up by the river and he became the second player to bust from the £5,250 buy-in event.

Trickett Shoves on Warburton
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Steven Warburton, runner-up at EPT Barcelona, raised to 1,500 from the cutoff only to see Sam Trickett move all-in from the button for around 27,000. Both blinds folded, as did Warburton but we had the feeling he did so reluctantly.
Jordon Comes Back Strong
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
It's been a real yo-yo session for Terry Jordon. Down to 8,000 chips at one point, he's now up to 79,000 thanks in part to a pot he won a few moments ago.
Jordon raised to 1,600 from under the gun and Simon Deadman and Tamer Kamel called from the blinds. Those blinds checked on the 
and Jordon checked behind. Deadman and Kamel checked again on the turn and then folded when Jordon set the price to play at 2,500.
While Jordon has been on an upwards trajectory, Kamel's stack has plummetted and he's the shortest stack in the tournament right now as Day 1's end approaches.

McCorkell's River Bet Wins a Pot
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
World Series of Poker bracelet winner Craig McCorkell, in the hijack, raised to 1,500 and was called in two spots, Mian Wei looked him up from the cutoff and Paul Newey called from the big blind.
The trio checked in turn on the 
flop and again on the 
turn. Newey checked the arrival of the 
river, leading McCorkell to bet 3,500. Wei instantly folded and Newey also gave up.

River Bet Wins One For Chattaway
Level 7
: 250/500, 75 ante
Stacy Coore, who is playing for a £2,200 WPT Main Event seat on his iPad, opened from the cutoff and Billy Chattaway was the only player wanting to see a flop. The pair watched on as the dealer spread the 
flop, a flop that Coore bet 1,700 on, and Chattaway called.
The turn saw both players check, but when Coore checked the 
river, Chattaway made it 2,700 to see the river and Coore relinquished his hand.
They All Count
Level 7
: 250/500, 75 ante
Tom Hall won a small pot from Daniel McAulay to resume his upwards climb. Hall opned to 1,250 from the cutoff and only McAulay, in the big blind, called.
A 
flop was checked by McAulay, bet to the tune of 1,500 by Hall and that was enough to win the pot.
