Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A pot of around 20,000 was already in the middle as Jamie Walden and an opponent in early position went to the river on a completed board of 5♦7♠9♣Q♣6♠.

Walden, on the button, then moved all in for 21,100 and sent his opponent deep into the tank. He considered the decision for several minutes before another tablemate called the clock.

The countdown had nearly reached zero before Walden's opponent slid his cards into the muck. "Six-seven, right," another tablemate said to Walden, who remained silent as he took the pot.

Niall Farrell, Yiannis Liperis, and Daniel Laidlaw are among the recent entries into Day 1b.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Florian Duta raised to 300 on the button and the small blind then three-bet to 1,200. Duta called and they went heads-up to the 10♣2♦6♣ flop.

Both players checked as the 4♥ fell on the turn. Duta then bet 1,500 and the small blind called. The river was the 8♣ and action checked to Duta again.

He checked back and showed 6♥5♥ for a pair of sixes that were good enough to win the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

More than 10,000 was already in the middle as four players, including Dan Maunders in the small blind, Carl Spencer under the gun, and Nicholas Fellone in middle position, went to the flop of 8♣Q♣10♥.

Spencer then bet 4,000 and Maunders as well as a player in middle position called to the 3♥ river, while Fellone folded. Spencer then moved all in for around 21,000.

Both of his opponents quickly mucked and Spencer took the pot without a showdown.

888poker Ambassador Vivian Saliba recently took her seat in the event, as did Florian Duta.

A player in the cutoff bet 2,500 on a board of 9♦5♥6♠Q♠ and Owen Dodd called in the big blind.

The river came the K♦ and Dodd then led out for 4,500. His opponent quickly mucked.

Prior called and the flop came J♥7♠5♠. Both players checked to the J♣ turn, where Dodd bet another 1,300. Prior called and the Q♥ river was checked down.

Dodd showed A♠K♥, but Prior had 5♦4♦ for two pair to win the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Heads-up on a board of 5♠3♠8♥A♦, Warren Gibbons bet 1,100 from middle position and Antonios Georgiou called on the button.

The river came the 9♦ and Gibbons tossed in a yellow 5,000 chip, announcing a bet of 2,500. Georgiou quickly called and Gibbons mucked, saying he had six-seven for a missed straight draw.

"I have an ace," Georgiou said, showing A♥10♠ as he took the pot.

David Algarra and Andrew Christoforou are also at this table.
