Labat Loses a Lot to Dacic

Level 23 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Mark Yi had dropped to 245,000 and three-bet shoved over an open raise by Christos Xanthopoulos, the latter folded.

Fernando Pons was also involved in the action and stole the blinds and ante once, then raise-folded to a call by Hak-Hyun Lee and a three-bet by Aleem Kanji.

Over on the other table, Antoine Labat battled with [Removed:208] and bet 75,000 out of the small blind with the turn reading {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Dacic called in the hijack and Labat then bet the {8-Clubs} river for 250,000. Dacic called once more and Labat showed the {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}, Dacic had that beat with {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a set.

Daniel Hopkins Eliminated in 17th Place (£7,000)

Level 23 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Craig Sweden raised it up to 60,000 from early position and Daniel Hopkins pushed all in for 315,000 from one seat over. [Removed:208] in the big blind flat-called and Sweden reluctantly folded.

"Please let it be a good fold," Sweden said before the cards were tabled.

Daniel Hopkins: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
[Removed:208]: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

"That's a pretty good fold," Sweden added. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Sweden muttered "please no king or queen," and sure enough the {K-Spades} fell on the turn. Hopkins was left drawing dead, and the {10-Spades} river a mere formality.

Helmut Hauser

First to act, Helmut Hauser pushed all in for 290,000 and he was called by Aleem Kanji in the hijack.

Helmut Hauser: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Aleem Kanji: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The classic coin flip ran out in favor of Kanji thanks to a board of {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and 888poker online qualifier Hauser was eliminated in 18th place for £7,000.

Dacic Doubles Through Hopkins

Level 23 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Soon after the last 18 players were balanced over two tables, a three-bet pot emerged between [Removed:208] in the big blind and Daniel Hopkins. The flop showed {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Dacic faced the jam of Hopkins, which he eventually called for the last 330,000.

[Removed:208]: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Daniel Hopkins: {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

"Good call," Hopkins nodded and tapped the table, caught with the fingers in the cookie jar. Hopkins picked up some outs on the {Q-Hearts} turn, but the {6-Spades} river was a blank to let Dacic double.

Saxby Doubles Through Xanthopoulos

Level 23 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Fernando Pons three-bet to 140,000 and initial raiser Derek Lawless used one time bank before moving all in, Pons folded.

Soon after, Christos Xanthopoulos raised to 55,000 first to act and Kelly Saxby moved all in for 275,000 in the big blind. Xanthopoulos reluctantly called after asking for a count.

Kelly Saxby: {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Christos Xanthopoulos: {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The board came {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and the kicker played to let Saxby double.

James Williams raised it up from late position and short stack Arkadi Kilman jammed for his last 300,000 in the big blind, which Williams called.

Arkadi Kilman: {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
James Williams: {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop favored Williams, but Kilman picked up some outs on the {J-Clubs} turn. However, it wasn't meant to be, as the {3-Diamonds} river was a blank to send Kilman to the rail in 20th place for £6,100.

Martyn Duell

Martyn Duell had folded to a three-bet by Fernando Pons previous and was in the big blind shortly after. Pons raised the button to 55,000 and Hak-Hyun Lee three-bet the small blind to 170,000. Duell, one of three 888poker online qualifiers still in contention, four-bet all in and Pons folded.

Lee gave it 10 seconds of consideration, muttered "I have to call" and tossed in a single chip to do so.

Martyn Duell: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Hak-Hyun Lee: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The mighty deuces held up on a board of {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Duell was eliminated in 21st place for £6,100.
