Hand #29 - Ben Roberts Eliminated in Eighth Place ($30,831)

[user4144]

Robert Cheung makes it 39,000 to play, only for Ben Roberts to move all in for 52,000 total. He may receive a call...

Indeed he does, and we're coin-flipping, Roberts' {7-Hearts}

looking to survive a picture-less board against Cheung's {K-Diamonds}

.

Flop = {5-Spades}

Turn =

Oohs from the onlooking crowd.

River = {2-Spades}

Not a good day at the office for the two Brits who are the first to exit.

Hand #31 - Cheung

[user46392]

Mahmood makes it 43,000 to go, and the action stalls on Cheung, who eventually calls.

Flop: {8-Diamonds}

-- check, check.

Turn: {7-Hearts}

-- again, check, check.

{6-Clubs}

-- more checks than a quality used car company.

Cheung shows {K-Spades}

, and it's good enough to win.

Robert Cheung makes it 39,000 preflop, but Keith Greer, who has been quiet thus far, slides in a column of 5,000 orange chips for a reraise. Cheung doesn't look pleased...

The raise is for a total of 170,000, and it's enough to make Cheung fold.

Hand #35 - Mahmood

[user46392]

Kitai limps in on the small blind, and Mahmood checks.

They check the {2-Spades}

flop, and then check the {10-Spades}

turn. The river is the {8-Clubs}

, and Kitai bets out 18,000 -- only for Mahmood to make it 36,000. After some brief deliberation, Kitai folds and Mahmood takes the pot.

[user4144]

Ayaz Mahmood raises to 41,000 from the small blind , Chris Bell makes the call from the big.

Heads up to the flop...

{4-Clubs}

Mahmood checks, Bell bets 40,000, Mahmood calls.

Turn = {8-Clubs}

Check, check.

River = {K-Spades}

Mahmood leads out for 60,000, Bell, with 353,000 behind, fidgets in his seat uncomfortably, glances over at his foe and makes the call.

Mahmood shows A-5 for high, Bell flips 9-6 to take the pot.
