Otto Sticks It to Williams

Adam Lamers

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Chris Williams raised to 25,000 in the cutoff and Ryan Otto defended from the big blind. The flop came 8♦6♠4♣ and both players checked to the K♦ on the turn.

Otto checked again and Williams threw in a bet of 65,000. Otto called and the 10♦ completed the board. Otto checked for the third time and Williams made a bet of 100,000. Otto check-raised to 500,000 and Williams wasted little time dumping his K♣8♠ into the muck. Otto revealed one card and it was the J♦.

Pop Turns a Set and Doubles

Adam Lamers

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

George Pop raised to 26,000 in the cutoff and was called by Francis Obadun on the button and Eliran Argelazi in the big blind. The flop came K♣4♠3♠ and Pop continued with a bet of 32,000 which only Obadun called.

The turn was the 6♥ and Pop opted to check this time. Obadun put together a bet of 70,000 and Pop check-raised all in for 240,000. Obadun let out a groan as he asked for a count and then called.

Pop tabled 6♣6♦ for a set of sixes but was not out of the woods as Obadun held A♦5♥ for a straight draw. The A♣ on the river was not enough for Obadun who slid over a double-up.

Argelazi Fires Three Barrels

Adam Lamers

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Eliran Argelazi opened to 26,000 from under the gun and Bixi Yao called out of the big blind. The flop came 6♣5♦4♥ and Yao check-called a bet of 30,000 from Argelazi.

The turn brought the Q♠ and Yao checked again. Argelazi counted out a bet of 65,000 and Yao stuck around to see the Q♥ on the river.

Yao checked for the third time and Argelazi fired out a third bullet of 100,000. Yao went into the tank for over a minute and eventually tossed in a call. Argelazi flipped over 9♥9♣ and Yao conceded the pot.

Thien Wu Eliminated in 18th Place (£3,300)

Adam Lamers

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Smit Trivedi opened to 24,000 in the hijack and Thien Wu defended from the big blind. The flop fell J♠5♦4♠ and Wu checked to Trivedi who bet 18,000. Wu check-raised all in for 151,000 and Trivedi snap-called.

Thien Wu: 10♠3♠
Smit Trivedi: A♣A♦

Wu flopped a flush draw but was up against the pocket aces of Trivedi. The J♥ on the turn did not give Wu any extra outs and the K♣ on the river was not the spade that he was looking for.

Kuljinder Sidhu Eliminated in 19th Place (£3,300)

Adam Lamers

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Dave Mcconachie raised to 30,000 on the button and Kuljinder Sidhu pushed his short stack of 121,000 into the middle from the big blind. Mcconachie quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Kuljinder Sidhu: A♠6♦
Dave Mcconachie: K♥Q♠

The flop fell Q♣10♠9♣ and Mcconachie spiked a pair of queens to jump out front. The 7♦ on the turn gave Sidhu some additional outs but the K♣ on the river only improved Mcconachie to two pair.

Janice Phillips Eliminated in 20th Place (£2,950)

Adam Lamers

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Janice Phillips moved all in for the second straight hand, this time for 78,000. The action folded around to Hong Pham in the big blind who flicked in a blind call.

Janice Phillips: K♠Q♣
Hong Pham: Q♠8♣

The flop came Q♥8♠7♥ and Pham picked up two pair to take the lead. The 8♦ on the turn gave her a full house and the K♥ on the river was not enough for Phillips.

Sergiu Cecoltan Eliminated in 21st Place (£2,950)

Adam Lamers

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded around to Francis Obadun in the small blind who shoved all in. Sergiu Cecoltan was down to just 32,000 chips in the big blind and called it off.

Sergiu Cecoltan: 9♣9♦
Francis Obadun: J♠5♠

Obadun only had one over card but he managed to flop two pair on the J♦7♥5♣ board. The 8♣ on the turn gave Cecoltan some extra outs but the 4♥ on the river was not one of them.

Angelos Nastosmegas Eliminated in 22nd Place (£2,950)

Adam Lamers

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Raymond Caabay raised to 22,000 in the hijack and Angelos Nastosmegas ripped all in for 185,000 in the small blind. Caabay asked for a count before sliding out a stack of chips to call.

Angelos Nastosmegas: A♦6♦
Raymond Caabay: A♥Q♦

The flop of Q♥8♠8♥ put Caabay well out front with a pair of queens. The 3♣ on the turn meant Nastosmegas was drawing dead as the J♣ hit the river.
