Ringe and Mizrachi Chop It Up

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Gerald Ringer and Michael Mizrachi got involved pre-flop and before you could say three-bet, four-bet shove, call, the chips were in the middle. Mizrachi had already lost a chunk at the feature table, but his {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} was way ahead of Ringe's {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

The board of {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades} saw the players chop it up on the river. Mizrachi hasn't been the most fortunate during this tournament, which, given his dominance, shows how far he has already gone.

Parkin Busts as Del Piero Booms

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Graham Parkin has crashed out of the 888Poker London Live Festival in two hands, the second of which has propelled Enzo Del Piero near the top of the chip-counts.

First Parkin was all-in with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and was called by Catherine Hanna's {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} which hit a jack. That sent him down to four big blinds, and those were into the middle after little more time. Parkin committed them with {J-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and was raised by another player with {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Enzo Del Piero looked down at {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} and got his stack of 256,000 into the middle.

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs} to send Parkin home. Del Piero is sure to be a danger now in a month where he already won two High Roller tournaments.

Veselov Vanquished as Dinner Break Begins

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Kara Scott is flying high again at the Dinner Break
Kara Scott is flying high again at the Dinner Break

Andrey Veselov moved all-in and was in bad shape, committed for his tournament life with {J-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and way behind his caller, Luke Hayward, whose {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} was in front. There is stayed and we were down to 26 players. Here are some of the prominent chip-stacks.

We'll be back in an hour when play resumes at 7.50pm local time. We'll have three more hour-long levels before players will be bagging and tagging.

Back in Action

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

After a slight delay, the Day 2 players are back at the felt.

We'll have three more hour-long levels to sort the final day players from the unlucky customers at the last chance saloon.

Del Piero In Charge

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Enzo Del Piero opened to 21,000 from the button, and got two callers in the small blind and big blind.

The flop of {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs} came down and Del Piero's c-bet of 28,000 got through. The London-based player is up to 540,000 and has been consistently well above average since that earlier pot when his sevens held in a three-way all-in.

Other British poker heavyweights Charles Chattha and Kevin Allen are both doing very well too, with each man over 400,000 chips and in cruise control. Who will make the final day?

Grafton Takes Some of Scott's Chips

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Sam Grafton and Kara Scott clashed in a big pot. The flop of {3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} arrived with 53,000 in the pot already, and Kara Scott made it 18,000 to see a turn from the hijack position. Grafton called from the cut-off and the turn was {7-Hearts}. Scott checked, but Grafton made it 83,000. Scott called.

The river was a {4-Clubs} and Grafton, checked to again, made it 210,000. It would be two thirds of Scott's remaining chips to call and she elected to pass. She was right too, as the stream revealed that while Kara Scott had {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, Grafton held pocket eights and had flopped middle set.

Hayward Pushes Li Off the Pot

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Luke Hayward made it 20,000 from the hijack position and Ka Him Li made it 40,000 from the small blind. Hayward called to a flop of {2-Spades}{Q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

Li made it 38,000 and Hayward made the call. The turn of {3-Hearts} and this time, Hayward was the aggressor, betting 45,000 after Li checked. Li let it go, and Luke Hayward, so short at the beginning of Day, has over 425,000 with which to try and make his second final table of the week after getting all the way to the final of the High Roller.
