Day 1c Wrap

Leonard Truche
Leonard Truche

If you want fast and furious action with a plethora of bust-outs then the ₤1k event is the one for you. For a third day in a row it has been bust-out after bust-out. It’s what happens when you only start with 3,000 chips as you’re forced to take your chances when you have them. The player who took those chances the best was Leonard Truche who finished on 42,400 after winning a flip late on versus Kumal Choraria. He’s closely followed by Song Lee(40,300), Ting He(40,100) and Adam Fradgley (40,100).

185 players stumped up ₤1,000 to enter Day 1c of this event and they where whittled down to just four tables and 25 players. Those who tried their best, but failed, to be part of the gang coming back tomorrow were Andy Bloch, Michael Mizrachi, Jeff Madsen, Neil Channing, John Racener, James Akenhead, Dave Ulliot, Phil Laak, Justin Smith and Erik Seidel.

Other players happy to be part of the gang are Maria Demetriou, Richard Hawes, Richard Allen and Allen Kessler. None of them have a big stacks but for now they are happy to be through. The gang will consist of 80 tomorrow but only 54 of those will be getting paid. Play starts at 2pm BST tomorrow where the action will be tense from the start. As soon as that bubble bursts though it’ll be more of the carnage experienced the last three days. For now it’s good night from London, we hope to see you back here tomorrow.

Shak Attacked at the Death

Dan Shak busted with minutes left of the day in very unfortunate circumstances. We don't have all the details but he popped by the desk on his way out to inform us he got it in with pocket aces versus king-queen but a king and a queen fell to bust him.

Levi's Ripped Beyong Repair

Levi Twindley has been mixing it up in many pots today and on the whole it was working for him. That was until a moment ago when he busted to Stephen Chidwick. He got it in good with ace-eight to Chidwick's king-nine but he was powerless to stop a nine falling on the flop. Chidwick on around 30,000 after the hand.

Hawley Races Out the Door

Jessica Dawley
Jessica Dawley

As Kessler was busy winning a race one side of the floor Jessica Dawley was busy losing one the other. Maria Demetriou told us that she got it in with pocket fives versus ace-king and a king fell on the turn to bust her.

Fradgley's Flopped Straight Scoops Biggest Pot So Far

Allen Kessler motioned us over to his table where a huge pot was brewing.

Adam Fradgley was all-in for 9,775 on a {9-Spades} {6-Spades} {5-Spades} flop, another player called and now Freddy Deeb was debating his next move. Finally, he said, "I'm all-in."

The caller looked disappointed, opting to fold his hand and preserve the remaining 18,000.

Deeb showed {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts} but he need some luck as Fradgley had flopped the straight with {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} and was still ahead in this pot that had seen more action than a Dolph Lundgren flick.

The {10-Clubs} did nothing save improving Fradgley to a 10-high straight while the {2-Hearts} was as exactly as it seems, a total blank.

Deeb dropped to 8,000 while Fradgley sits with around 38,000

Lee Finds Another Hit Song

Song Lee has taken care of another player at his table to move up to 32,000 chips. There was a limp and a call before Lee raised to 1,750 on the button. Tommy Vedes called from the BB and the original folded before our eliminated player (ran off at the end before we could get his name)moved all-in for {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Both Lee and Vedes called before they checked down the {2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{q-Spades} board.

Vedes tabled {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} to our eliminated player's {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} but both were behind to Lee's {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Swang Song For Cousineau

Song Lee opened for 1,550 from early position and Tony Cousineau pushed for 5,875 more. Lee tanked for a couple of minutes before making the call with {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} live at least, against Cousineau's {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}. The flop brought something for both coming {9-Spades} {4-Spades} {5-Clubs} as Lee took the lead Cousineau had overs and a flush draw. The {2-Diamonds} turn changed nothing and neither did the {8-Clubs} river.

A disappointed Cousineau eliminated just before the end of day having lead for much of it.
