Hong Pham Eliminated in 6th Place (£12,100)

Adam Lamers

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action folded around to Hong Pham in the small blind who pushed all in for her last 500,000 chips. Francis Obadun asked for a count from the big blind and deliberated for a moment before making the call.

Hong Pham: K♣9♣
Francis Obadun: J♥5♣

The flop came Q♠10♣5♦ and Obadun picked up a pair of fives. The turn was the 5♥ to give Obadun trip jacks and Pham was left drawing dead to the 4♣ on the river.

Smit Trivedi raised to 100,000 under the gun with 8♠8♥ and was called by Francis Obadun on the button with Q♦J♥ and Jiaze Li in the big blind with K♠J♣. The flop came Q♥8♦3♣ and the action checked around to the 3♠ on the turn.

Trivedi threw in a bet of 85,000 on the turn and Obadun called while Li got out of the way. The river was the 2♦ and Trivedi bet 325,000 which got snap-called by Obadun. Trivedi got nearly a full double-up which put a small dent in Obadun's stack.

Francis Obadun raised to 125,000 in the hijack with 10♠7♣ and Ryan Otto defended from the big blind with A♣7♥. The flop came J♠8♣4♣ and both players checked to the 9♣ on the turn.

Otto led out with a bet of 250,000 on the turn and Obadun just called after making the straight. The river was the 3♥ and Otto sized up another bet of 825,000. Obadun snap-called and Otto was left with crumbs after the failed bluff attempt.

Francis Obadun raised it up 125,000 in the cutoff with 10♠8♣ and Dave Mcconachie three-bet to 270,000 on the button holding K♦Q♦. Obadun called and the flop fell A♦J♠J♣.

Mcconachie continued with a bet of 125,000 and Obadun made a play by check-raising to 425,000. Mcconachie put an end to the hand by clicking it back to 830,000. Obadun wasted little before mucking his rags and Mcconachie took down the pot.

Jiaze Li opened to 125,000 in the cutoff with K♠10♠ and Hong Pham jammed all in from the big blind for around 650,000. Li asked for a count but opted to lay his hand down.

On the next hand, Li raised to 125,000 with Q♦J♣ and Smit Trivedi three-bet to 750,000 on his left with A♥J♥. The action folded back to Li who quickly disposed of his cards once again.

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Smit Trivedi open-shoved all in for 420,000 in the cutoff and Bixi Yao gave it some thought before dropping in the last of her 300,000 chips from the small blind.

Bixi Yao: A♥5♥
Smit Trivedi: A♣6♥

It was all likelihood a chopped a pot and the flop of 10♥10♦3♣ left it that way. The Q♣ on the turn changed nothing but the 2♣ on the river allowed for Trivedi's six kicker to come into play and Yao was eliminated.

Level 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Bixi Yao moved all in for her last 190,000 in early position and was called by Hong Pham in the hijack. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were tabled with Yao at risk.

Bixi Yao: K♥7♦
Hong Pham: 7♥7♣

The flop came K♦J♦3♣ and Yao spiked a king to take the lead. The 4♦ and 5♠ runout changed nothing and Yao doubled up, but still remains the short stack.

Hong Pham	740,000 360,000	360,000
