Mathews Exits

After doubling through Erik Cajelais, Clement Thumy was at it again.

He made it 12,500 to go and Harvey Mathews decided it was the right time to move all in. Thumy snap-called with {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and was well ahead of Mathews {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

The flop brought the {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. Mathews needed some help on the turn and river to keep his tournament hopes alive. He wouldn't get there with the {5-Clubs} hitting the turn or the {j-Clubs} falling on the river.

Thumy is now sitting with 405,000.

Jones Says Goodbye

All the chips went in the middle preflop in this hand when David Jones committed his last 18,000 and Taurean Davis made the call from the big blind.

Jones' tournament life was on the line and he tabled {a-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Davis showed {5-Clubs}{3-Spades} and we were off to the flop.

The window was the {a-Hearts} giving Jone's a bit of hope, but just after that ace, fell the {2-Hearts} and {4-Clubs} giving Davis the wheel.

The {3-Hearts} on the turn gave Jones the hope of a chop or he would need to pair the board with an ace or deuce to take it down.

The river brought the {4-Hearts} and Jones' day was done. Davis is up to 430,000.

Caramatti Doubles

From the small blind, Taurean Davis made it 23,000 to go and Luigi Caramatti answered that with an all-in move for 131,000 form the big blind. Davis made the call and the cards were on their backs.

Davis: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Caramatti: {k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The board rolled out {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Caramatti doubled to 267,000 while Davis' stack dropped to 296,000.

Adeniya Gets There

Adeniya doubles.
Adeniya doubles.

In a three-way limped pot at Table 369, the flop fell {K-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Steve Cowley led for 16,000 from the small blind and Martins Adeniya moved all in for 102,000 total from the big blind. David Benefield flatted on the button and Cowley released.

Showdown
Adeniya: {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Benefield: {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Adeniya needed a jack to chop or a heart to win the whole pot. The turn was red, but the {5-Diamonds} wouldn't suffice.

The {A-Hearts} on the river did the trick though, and Adeniya made his flush doubling to 230,000 chips. Benefield slipped to 250,000.

November Niner James Akenhead and recent bracelet winner Praz Bansi are on the rail and shared a light celebration with a few of their countrymen after the {A-Hearts} fell. We can only imagine what they'll be like if the Englishman makes the final table.
