Moorman Jams Into Chamani

Level 8 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Picking up the action on the {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{Q-Hearts} turn, Ronit Chamani checked over to Chris Moorman and called the bet of 26,000 that followed. On the {3-Spades} river, Chamani checked and Moorman moved all in.

Chamani used one time bank extension before asking for a count, and once it was deemed to be for 57,500, let her 30 seconds to act run down before sending her cards into the muck.

Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Jack Sinclair raised to 7,000 and was called by Terry Bordon and Vadim Cojocaru. Sam Grafton then moved all in for 59,500 and Christopher Kyriacou jammed over the top to isolate successfully.

Sam Grafton: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Christopher Kyriacou: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

On a board of {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Kyriacou turned the nut straight to send Grafton packing. Kyriacou also three-bet jammed the net hand and this time there was no showdown that followed.

Ilyukhin Eliminated by Ten Haven

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A very short-stacked Victor Ilyukhin was all in with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and Duco Ten Haven had a flip with the {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Ilyukhin had two overcards and also turned a flushdraw, but ultimately the board of {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} provided no help for the Russian.

New chipleader on the same table is Yiqian Song, who has boosted his stack significantly as of lately.

Moorman Gets Two-Outed

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Harry Lodge ended up all in and at risk with a suited ace-king and Florence Allera called with the {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The board came {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Lodge was eliminated once more.

At the same time, Terry Jordon ended up all in for 138,500 with {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and needed a lof of help, as Chris Moorman had him dominated with {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. On a {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board, Jordon got there on the river to leave Moorman with crumbs.

Moorman quadrupled in the next hand after he flopped a straight with {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, but may need another double or triple up to get back into contention.

Benny Glaser
Benny Glaser

Manuel Bardon O'Shea ended up all in and at risk for 45,000 and Benny Glaser also had his chips in, having the Spaniard barely covered. Last but not least, Jonathan Clark was also part of the showdown and had two opponents at risk.

Manuel Bardon O'Shea: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Benny Glaser: {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Jonathan Clark: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The board came {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{J-Clubs} and ace-queen high was good enough to win the pot for Clark.
