Da-Silva Busts Clark

Level 6 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The board was already completed and showed {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{2-Spades} when Jonathan Clark moved all in for around 50,000. Chris Da-Silva, who had recently re-entered, eventually tossed in two T-25,000 chips and Clark rolled over {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a bluff.

Da-Silva had the {K-Spades}{J-Clubs} and sent Clark to the rail.

"Is it going to be the same seat?" Clark inquired, referring to a very likely re-entry.

The 888poker ambassadors Chris Moorman and Parker Talbot were spotted at the registration desk along with Michael Mizrachi and joined the field in quick succession. Talbot wanted to bet with Moorman whether or not Martin Jacobson had more than the starting stack, which he let the Swede know as well.

Heidorn Loses "Classic Coinflip" to Jordon

Level 7 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Robert Heidorn
Robert Heidorn

Jack Sinclair bet the {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop for 5,000 in the cutoff and Terry Jordon on the button called. The {8-Spades} turn went check, check, and on the {3-Diamonds} river a bet of 35,000 did the trick for Sinclair to force a fold from his opponent.

One hand later, Jordon raised and Robert Heidorn three-bet all in for 41,000, Jordon called.

Robert Heidorn: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Terry Jordon: {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

"That's a classic coinflip," Sam Grafton in the two seat joked. Heidorn fell behind on the {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{9-Spades} flop and picked up no help on the {5-Hearts} turn and {2-Clubs} river.

Francis Foord-Brown raised to 5,000 and Ana Marquez moved all in for her last 58,000 from one seat over. Foord-Brown asked for a count and eventually called without using a timebank.

Ana Marquez: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Francis Foord-Brown: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{K-Spades} and the king on the river improved Foord-Brown to the straight.
