Shaw Smacks the River to Crack Priestley's Aces

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Carl Shaw
Carl Shaw

Carl Shaw raised to 18,000 in the hijack and Sinead Priestley then moved all in for 160,000 on the button. "This is a close one," Shaw said as he tanked for a moment before calling.

Sinead Priestley: AA
Carl Shaw: KQ

The flop came 10108, while Priestley remained in front on the 9 turn but Shaw picked up a straight draw. The river came the J.

"No. Happens every time. So annoying," Priestley said, still smiling despite Shaw completing his straight to send her to the rail. She stopped to take a picture of the board before heading for the rail.

Shaw Flops the Nuts

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Min Ji raised to 17,000 in the cutoff and Carl Shaw called from the small blind.

The flop came AQJ and Ji continued for 10,000. Shaw called to the 2 turn and checked over to Ji again.

Ji then bet another 30,000 and Shaw came back with a raise to 110,000. Ji used a time bank as he tanked for a minute before mucking A9. Shaw showed him K10 for the flopped straight as he took the pot.

Yucel Eminoglu raised to 55,000 under the gun, leaving himself 6,000 behind, and Hong Pham called in the cutoff.

The flop came A84 and Eminoglu checked to Pham, who put him all in. "I was trying to take my time and get a pay jump, but you put him all in right away," Eminoglu said as he called.

Yucel Eminoglu: A9
Hong Pham: 55

Eminoglu was ahead with his flopped pair of aces and held on through the 3Q turn and river as the player affectionately known as the "Mad Turk" doubled up.

Lucia Navarro
Lucia Navarro

Lucia Navarro moved all in for 75,000 in early position and Hong Pham called in the big blind.

Lucia Navarro: A6
Hong Pham: 99

Navarro was looking for an ace to stay alive, but Pham's nines held after the Q5727 board to send the last remaining 888poker Ambassador to the rail.

At the same time on another table, John Bousfield raised to 20,000 in the cutoff, then called for his last 16,000 when Adam Wilkinson moved all in from the small blind.

John Bousfield: 109
Adam Wilkinson: KJ

Bousfield took the lead on the 932 flop and stayed in front on the A turn, but the K fell on the river and Bousfield joined Navarro on the walk to the payout desk.

Francis Obadun: QQ
Matthew Eardley: AA

Obadun had once again run right into aces and found no help on the 5102K7 board as he was sent to the rail on the money bubble.

Jones Has the Goods

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Nathan Jones
Nathan Jones

Francis Obadun raised to 20,000 in the hijack, then called when button Nathan Jones shoved for 235,000.

The players waited for hands at other tables to finish before turning over their cards as a large crowd once again stormed the table. "I won't do it until everybody is sitting down," Obadun said as the floor had to tell spectators to leave.

Nathan Jones: AA
Francis Obadun: AK

Jones had woken up with aces, and while Obadun picked up some chop outs on the 452 flop, the 6 turn and 7 river were harmless and Jones doubled up.

"Plays itself, doesn't it," Obadun said as he handed over the pot.

Otto Bombs the River on Eardley

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Matthew Eardley raised to 16,000 in early position and Francis Obadun called on the button. Ryan Otto then three-bet to 82,000 in the small blind and only Eardley called.

The flop came 76Q and Otto slowed down and checked. Eardley fired out 45,000 and Otto called before both players checked the 2 turn.

The Q fell on the river and Otto moved all in. Eardley, with around 210,000 remaining, burned through three time banks as a large crowd gathered around the table. He eventually folded and Otto took the pot.

Spencer Shoves Into Kings; Players Now on the Bubble

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Carl Spencer was down to just 20,000 when he moved all in from the button against cutoff Min Ji.

Carl Spencer: 22
Min Ji: KK

The 36A56 board provided no relief and he fell victim to Ji's kings.
