Adam Lamers

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jiaze Li shoved all in for the second hand in a row, this time for 345,000 from under the gun. Eliran Argelazi was in the small blind with 250,000 and used three of his time banks before calling off the last of his chips.

Eliran Argelazi: K♣J♣
Jiaze Li: A♦10♦

The flop came K♥Q♦4♦ which gave Argelazi the lead with a pair of kings but Li picked up straight and flush draws. The 6♣ on the turn was a brick but the 7♦ on the river completed Li's flush and Argelazi was ousted.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Dave Mcconachie opened to 40,000 in the cutoff and Tobias Kirby called on the button. The blinds got out of the way and the dealer fanned the flop of K♠J♥6♣.

Mcconachie continued with a min-bet of 20,000 and Kirby called. The 3♣ landed on the turn and Mcconachie checked this time. Kirby made a small bet of 25,000 and Mcconachie just called.

The river was the 9♥ and Mcconachie checked once more. Kirby gave it some thought but opted to check it back. Under the casino rules, Kirby was the last aggressor and had to show first, tabling 6♠4♠. Mcconachie turned over A♥A♦ and collected the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Hong Pham raised it up to 45,000 on the button and Chris Williams called from the small blind. The two players saw a flop of A♦4♠2♠ and Williams check-called a bet of 40,000 from Pham.

The 2♣ paired the board on the turn and Williams checked again. Pham tossed in a bet of 125,000 and Williams quickly called. The 9♥ completed the board and both players checked. Pham turned over A♣5♦ and Williams was unable to beat it.

Pham Continues to Pressure Obadun

Adam Lamers

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Francis Obadun opened to 40,000 under the gun and Hong Pham three-bet to 135,000 on his left. The action folded back to Obadun who called to see a flop of K♦8♥7♠.

Obadun checked to Pham who dropped in a bet of 105,000 and Obadun snap-called. The turn brought the 9♦ and Obadun checked again. Pham counted out another bet of 250,000 and Obadun eventually let his hand go.

Richard Connolly Eliminated in 13th Place (£4,750)

Adam Lamers

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Richard Connolly open-shoved all in for just under 400,000 in the cutoff and Francis Obadun reraised to 825,000 in the small blind. Hong Pham folded her big blind and the two hands were tabled.

Richard Connolly: 7♠7♦
Francis Obadun: A♦K♦

It was a coin flip and the flop of A♠A♥9♦ gave Obadun a huge lead with trip aces. The 8♣ on the turn and the 10♣ on the river were no help to Connolly who was eliminated in 13th place.

George Pop Eliminated in 14th Place (£4,400)

Adam Lamers

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

George Pop was one of the short stacks coming into the day and ripped all in for around 300,000 under the gun. Hong Pham reraised to 900,000 in the cutoff and the rest of the table folded.

George Pop: A♥8♥
Hong Pham: J♠J♥

The flop fell K♥7♥4♦ and Pop picked up a flush draw to go with his one overcard. However, the 10♣ and Q♠ runout provided no help and Pop was forced to the payout desk.

Leon Campbell Eliminated in 15th Place (£4,050)

Adam Lamers

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action folded around to Dave Mcconachie in the small blind who ripped all in. Leon Campbell was in the big blind with just 315,000 chips and made the call for his tournament life.

Leon Campbell: K♥J♦
Dave Mcconachie: A♦5♥

The flop came 9♠3♥3♣ and Mcconachie was still in the lead with his ace-high. The A♥ on the turn improved him to two pair and Campbell was left drawing dead to the 4♦ on the river.

Caabay Shoves on Kirby

Adam Lamers

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Tobias Kirby opened to 40,000 in early position and was called by Matt Otto in the cutoff and Raymond Caabay in the small blind. The flop fell 7♠3♣2♦ and Kirby continued with a bet of 45,000. Otto got out of the way but Caabay shoved all in for 460,000.

Kirby went into the tank, using up three of his time banks. Caabay wasn't about to let him do any thinking, however, as the table chat ramped up with each time bank used. Eventually, Kirby dumped his cards in the muck and Caabay showed his 9♥9♣.
