Park Wins a BIG Pot

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The likely biggest pot of Day 1b just took place over on table two and Jun Young Park was on the fortunate end of a big clash when he put all his hopes on the nut flush draw, holding {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. His opponent had flopped top set with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} on {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, and the {3-Spades} turn and {J-Diamonds} river let Park double.

Jonathan Schuman has vanished and Michael Mizrachi added further chips to his stack.

Winsor Doubles Through Mizrachi

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Benjamin Winsor
Benjamin Winsor

On the {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop, Benjamin Winsor checked in the cutoff and called a bet of 8,000 by Michael Mizrachi. The {2-Hearts} followed on the turn and Winsor checked once more, then reluctantly called a bet of 10,000.

After the {8-Spades} river, Winsor counted his remaining chips and checked. Mizrachi plunked in a bet of 35,000, which covered Winsor, and the Brit eventually called. Mizrachi showed the {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a bluff and Winsor doubled for 23,900 with the {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

Bardon Back In It

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Manuel Bardon had lost a big pot to Domenico D'Amore earlier today and both clearly had history after that hand. Bardon managed to grind his stack back up also thanks to a bigger pot against D'Amore when he fired three barrels on a {K-}{Q-}{6-}{6-}{8-} board according to William Davies.

Bardon showed ace-king and D'Amore mucked.
