Ashby Gives Chips to Speranza

Alessandro Speranza raised to 800 in early position and Richard Ashby and John Hewitt called in the blinds. The three players shared a flop of {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds} and both players checked to the raiser who bet 1,600. Ashby made the call and Hewitt folded and three became two going to the turn. The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and Ashby check-called a 3,800 bet. The final card was another queen - {Q-Diamonds} - and both players checked and we had a showdown that was won by Speranza.

Just 72 Players Remain

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

We've got well over two hours of play remaining and no more than 72 players are still in the hunt. We've lost 267 players already which comes down to 44 players per level. If we take it even further we can say that we lost one player every 81 seconds the entire day! The day has been very rough and fast but we also see a lot of big stacks emerging!
