Obadun Shows Down an Ace

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Francis Obadun put in a raise to 12,000 blind versus blind and Robert Douras called.

The flop came 4A7 and Obadun continued for 10,000. Douras called again to the 2 turn, where Obadun put out another 10,000.

Douras called once more and checked over to Obadun, who checked back and showed AQ for top pair. Douras flashed ace-jack as he mucked.

Wang Runs Into Wilson's Aces

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Chase Wilson put in a three-bet to 15,000 on the button and Lei Wang called in early position.

The flop came 8310 and Wilson moved all in for 50,000. Wang shook his head, but ultimately decided to call.

Chase Wilson: AA
Lei Wang: QJ

Wang only had a straight draw to go against Wilson's aces as the 7 fell on the turn. The river was the 2 and Wilson doubled up.

Matthew Eardley recently busted James Williams at his table to climb up to 230,000, while Leo McClean, Ludovic Geilich, Tom Middleton, and Mantas Buivydas were also recently eliminated as the bustouts are coming fast near the end of the night.

One King is Good For Welch, Two is Even Better

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Leo McClean raised to 5,500 in middle position and Min Ji called in the cutoff before button Mark Welch moved all in for 57,500. McClean asked Ji how much he had behind before calling, and Ji got out of the way.

Mark Welch: KK
Leo McClean: AA

Welch had run into a massive cooler near the end of the night as the 610Q flop left him on the verge of elimination. The turn, though, was the K and Welch made a set to take the lead.

The K came on the river for good measure and Welch made quads to lock up his double. McClean took a photo of the board before handing over the pot.

"Just in case," another tablemate said.

Rattan Shoves Bedson Off Aces

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A pot of around 40,000 had already developed between Daniel Bedson, Charles Chattha, and Nim Rattan as they went to the turn on a board of AJ810.

Bedson then bet 30,000 in early position and Chattha called on the button. Rattan came back with an all-in shove for 76,000.

Bedson tanked for a moment before folding, while Chattha also gave the decision some thought but also mucked as Rattan took down the pot.

"You were definitely third in that hand. I folded aces," Bedson told Chattha after the hand.

Wood Wins a Race

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Christopher Wood moved all in for his last 36,000 in the big blind and Ka Wai Man called in the hijack.

Christopher Wood: KQ
Ka Wai Man: 88

Wood and Man were off to the races as the flop came A24. Wood hit the K on the turn to take the lead, and he secured a double up once the 7 completed the board.

Wood was more concerned with the result of a Tottenham-Crystal Palace game that was being shown on the big screen in the tournament room. "Just keep it," he yelled out as the dealer pushed him the pot.

Johnston Gets a Miracle Triple Up

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

Mark Johnston was all in for 22,900 in middle position and up against Majid Nadeem, who was also all in for around 10,000 more. Charlie Reed also called in the big blind, having both opponents covered.

Mark Johnston: 88
Majid Nadeem: KJ
Charlie Reed: QQ

Reed had both players at risk with his queens and improved to top set on the Q102 flop. Nadeem had a straight flush, but the K turn was no help and Johnston and Nadeem were both a card away from elimination.

The J fell on the river and Johnston suddenly made a flush to earn a triple up, while Reed took the side pot to bust Nadeem.
