Aggression from Theo

[user4144]

On a

board, Chris Ferguson leads out for 40,000, but a reraise to 110,000 from Theo Jorgensen is enough to take it down.

Tomi Nyback Eliminated in 9th Place (£22,688)

[user25067]

Max Pescatori, David Penly, Jason Mercier, Sorel Mizzi and Tomi Nyback all limped in. Theo Jorgensen, in the big blind, put in a pot-sized raise to 48,000, which chased away all but Mizzi and Nyback.

The flop was {7-Hearts}

. Nyback moved all in for 156,000 Jorgensen called, and Mizzi tanked for several minutes before moving all in over the top for about 270,000 or so. Jorgensen made the call.

Jorgensen {K-Hearts}

Nyback

Mizzi

Mizzi flopped top two pair, sevens and fours, and was in the lead over Jorgensen's kings and Nyback's pair of sevens. The turn was the {A-Spades}

, the river was the {9-Hearts}

and Mizzi dragged the monster pot, tripling his stack to 860,000, eliminating Nyback.

The young Finn will take home £22,688 for his finish here today.

Chop It Up

[user4144]

With eyelids getting heavy, the audience was suddenly woken from their near slumber by an all-in from Dave Penly, the Woking man pushing his entire stack over the line on a {7-Hearts}

flop. Without too much hesitation, Tomi Nyback made the call and we had ourselves a showdown.

Penly = {K-Diamonds}

Nyback =

Although Penly had the lead with pocket kings, Nyback boasted a bigger wrap than you'd find on an Eminem album with a four or nine for the split pot, and an ace or six for the win.

Although the {7-Spades}

made little difference, the river came the {4-Diamonds}

to indeed chop it up, and Penly survived.

Sorel Far, Sorel Good

[user4144]

Jason Mercier and Sorel Mizzi saw a cheap flop from the blinds. Mercier led out for 30,000 on an {A-Spades}

flop and Mizzi called. Both players checked the {J-Spades}

turn before Mizzi took it down with a bet of 96,000 on the {8-Spades}

river.

Nyback Can't Call

[user25067]

Tomi Nyback raised to 22,000 from middle position, Max Pescatori called, Erik Friberg called from the small blind and David Penly called from the big blind. The flop was {10-Clubs}

and the action was checked around. The turn fell the {10-Hearts}

. Friberg bet 45,000 and only Nyback called. The river was the {7-Clubs}

. Friberg bet 120,000, leading Nyback to give up his hand. Friberg won the pot.

Max Pescatori Doubles Through Jason Mercier

[user25067]

Jason Mercier opened for 36,000, Max Pescatori reraised all in and Mercier made the call.

Pescatori {A-Clubs}

Mercier

The flop came down {8-Spades}

, Pescatori's aces still leading. The {Q-Hearts}

on the turn and the {3-Diamonds}

on the river did nothing to change things, and Pescatori got a much-needed double-up.

Level: 17

Blinds: 4,000/8,000
