Christoph Bommes Eliminated in 10th Place (£8,610)

MarcC

Christoph Bommes becomes the unfortunate final table bubble boy. He made a raise from UTG to 25,000 before Yevgeniy Timoshenko moved all in from middle position. Bommes made the call with {J-Hearts}

and saw he was in a coinflip with Timoshenko's {A-Diamonds}

.

The board came {7-Hearts}

.

An ace on the flop was good enough to boost Timoshenko's stack considerably and eliminate the final player of today's play.

Rolling Down the Lee

[user46392]

Last lady standing, Linda Lee, raised to 25,000 and it folded around to John Dwyer on the big blind who tossed in the additional 15,000 to see a flop.

Flop: {4-Clubs}

Both players checked.

Turn: {6-Clubs}

Dwyer checked, and Lee threw in the 25,000 that she had been clutching since the flop, as though she might bet it then but had suddenly thought better of the idea. As it turned out, it was not the best plan for her to bet it on the turn, as Dwyer promptly announced "All in," and Lee folded without any further fuss. She drops down to 120,000, while Dwyer is sitting pretty on 435,000.

Off to the Races

MarcC

In takes only two hands to get an all-in confrontation from our final ten. Jesper Hougaard raises to 26,000 before Neil Channing moves all in for 95,000 total. Hougaard dwells, moves his jaw from side to side, and makes the call with {8-Clubs}

. He's up against Channing's {A-Clubs}

.

All the way to the river we go {A-Spades}

.

The first card out sees an ace drop, which is good enough to seal a double-up for the Brit, putting him up to 215,000. Hougaard is down to 85,000.

Costas Artemis Eliminated in 11th Place (£8,610)

[user46392]

Adam Junglen raises to 25,000 under the gun and Costas Artemi goes all in for another 87,000 from the small blind. After some consideration, Junglen calls.

Artemi has the same hand he claimed he had the last time he clashed with Junglen, {A-Spades}

. Junglen is the underdog with {K-Clubs}

but he seems to have a good feeling about it, and wishes his opponent, "Good luck," as the board is dealt out.

Board: {K-Spades}

A cruel outdraw for Artemi means he exits in 11th place as play continues on a single table of ten.

Joseph El-Shater Eliminated in 12th Place (£ 8,610)

[user25067]

Joseph El-Shater opened the pot, only to be reraised to 50,000 by John Dwyer. El-Shater moved the rest of his chips in and Dwyer called.

El-Shater: {A-Spades}

Dwyer:

The board ran out {7-Hearts}

, sending El-Shater to the rail in 12th place.

Down to 11. Two more eliminations before we reach the final table.

Ace-Something

[user46392]

Costas Artemi open-shoved for 95,000 from the cutoff and it folded around to chip monster Adam Junglen in the big blind. "How much?" he inquired, but passed.

"You had an ace?" asked Artemi, and Junglen nodded. "You want to see my hand?" he continued. Junglen did.

Before Artemi could turn over his cards, Ian Woodley guessed {A-?}

. "That's exactly right," said Artemi, and handed his cards back to the dealer without showing.

Said Junglen, "I looked down at an ace but I found a deuce with it."

Said Artemi, "I'd have loved it if you'd called with that." Indeed.

Nutt This Time

MarcC

The first hand back from break saw Yevgeniy Timoshenko raise all in and successfully acquire the blinds. The second hand saw Daniel Nutt raise, but he found John Dwyer calling from the big blind.

The flop came {10-Spades}
