Haji Srifi Doubles Through Hynam

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

The cards of Mitchell Hynam were already in the muck and he paid off the short stack double by Oussama Haji Srifi. His opponent had turned a full house with {a-Spades}{8-Hearts} on a board of {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and avoided the trip to the cashier in order to re-enter.

Hynam, in the meanwhile, lost some of his early profit as the seat next to him was empty.

Garcia Ripoll Rips Into Hynam

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Following an under the gun raise by Josep Garcia Ripoll and a cold-call, Mitchell Hynam three-bet out of the big blind. Garcia Ripoll then four-bet to 11,000 and Hynam was the only caller.

"Do you want a count?" the dealer asked Hynam, who shook his head. During the 30-second shot clock, the Brit used all but one second before he sent the cards into the muck.
