Khatri Busts and Re-Enters

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Just before the blinds went up, Bhavin Khatri got his stack of around 32,000 in against Bojia Zhang and his pocket pair was dominated.

Bhavin Khatri: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Bojia Zhang: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Khatri tried an assorted version of the" it is always coming seven" but the jack he asked for never came on a board of {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. A few moments later, he was already back in action over on table one on his second bullet for the day.

Yong Pays Off Isiguzo

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

On the four-way turn of {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Christopher Yong was the only player to check-call a bet of 2,100 by Michael Isiguzo and did so again for 5,100 on the {3-Clubs} turn and 15,000 on the {a-Diamonds} river.

Isiguzo turned over the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a set of tens and that won the big pot.

Jordon Above the Average

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Terry Jordon bet the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} turn for 2,000 and faced a raise to 5,200, which he called. On the {4-Spades} river, Jordon check-called a bet of 7,500 and his {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} was good as the opponent only announced five-high.

Soon after both would clash again with Jordon in the under-the-gun position and his opponent being on the button. They got it in on the {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} turn and Jordon was ahead with {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} versus {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, the river came a blank {2-Diamonds}.

And just like that, Jordon moved to an above-average stack.

Picon Doubles Through Demetriou

Borja Picon
Borja Picon

Three ways to the {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, Borja Picon was all in for 12,200 and George Demetriou called, Yimin Yang folded.

Borja Picon: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
George Demetriou: {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The {7-Clubs} turn and {9-Spades} river only gave Demetriou inferior two pair with tens and nines to let him drop back to the starting stack.

Day 1c Underway

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

The third starting day has kicked off nearly half an hour ago and features up to 46 entries with the likes of Daria Feshchenko, Ben Spragg, Albert Sapiano, Krzysztof Pregowski, Matthew Eardley, Eric Le Goff and Serkan Ersoy all in the mix.

Neophytos Neophytou is also in there, which means he has been eliminated on Day 1b. The new chip leader on the second flight appears to be Bobby James with around 135,000.

Up and Down for Jordon

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Ali Zihni was left short when he doubled Terry Jordon, who had flopped trips and rivered a full house with {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} on a board of {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

At the same time, Aleem Kanji sent his stack over to Yimin Yang and Laurin Riechsteiner has also been missing from that table.
