Rattan Shoves Bedson Off Aces

David Salituro

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 A♠J♥8♦10♣.

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.

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: K♠K♣
Leo McClean: A♣A♦

Welch had run into a massive cooler near the end of the night as the 6♣10♣Q♦ 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.

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 8♣3♠10♥ and Wilson moved all in for 50,000. Wang shook his head, but ultimately decided to call.

Chase Wilson: A♣A♥
Lei Wang: Q♣J♣

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.

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

The flop came 4♠A♥7♦ 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 A♦Q♠ for top pair. Douras flashed ace-jack as he mucked.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 10♣K♦3♣, Paul Vas Nunes bet 7,000 from the cutoff and Ian Kyffin called on the button.

Vas Nunes checked the K♥ turn, then called when Kyffin bet 10,000. The river came the 2♠ and Vas Nunes checked again.

Kyffin checked back and turned over Q♥10♥, forcing Vas Nunes to send his cards into the muck.

The attention of most of the players in the room has shifted from the table as casino staff came around handing out free cups of strawberry ice cream at the end of the night.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to Brandon Sheils in the small blind who put Christopher Johnson all in. Johnson called off his last 20,000.

Christopher Johnson: J♠10♦
Brandon Sheils: A♠6♦

The flop came A♦2♥J♣ and Sheils hit top pair to take a big lead in the hand. The turn was the 2♦ and Johnson was already out of his seat and walking to the exit by the time the 7♠ fell on the river.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nathan Jones got his last 125,000 in the middle from early position and Ryan Otto called in the big blind.

Nathan Jones: Q♥10♦
Ryan Otto: A♦K♠

The 9♠6♥3♦ flop was no help to Jones, and neither was the 9♥ turn.

"Save it for the river," Jones said, but he also missed the 6♣ and was sent to the exit right before the end of the night.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On the last hand of the day, Tom Middleton was all in for 22,500 and up against Garry Wilson.

Tom Middleton: 10♣6♠
Garry Wilson: 8♥8♦

The board came 3♦9♦J♦Q♥ and Middleton was left needing help on the river to survive. "King one time," he yelled out, and the entire table--with the exception of Wilson--began celebrating when the K♠ fell as Middleton made a straight.

"Sorry for your loss," Middleton said as he began bagging up his chips.
