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.

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.

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.

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♦.

Richard Connolly raised to 27,000 on the button and Waheed Ashraf jammed all in for a little over 200,000 in the big blind. Connolly looked back at his cards and then called to put Ashraf at risk.

Waheed Ashraf: A♣3♣
Richard Connolly: 8♠8♦

The flop came K♥J♠2♦ and Connolly's pocket eights were still looking good. The 9♣ and 5♥ runout changed nothing and Ashraf was eliminated.

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Francis Obadun raised it up from the cutoff and Hong Pham called on the button. They went heads-up to a flop of 9♣8♠8♦ and Obadun continued with a bet of 30,000. Pham called and the 10♦ landed on the turn.

Obadun checked this time and Pham tossed in a bet of 90,000. Obadun called and the 4♥ hit the river. Both players checked and Pham showed K♥9♠ which was a better kicker than the Q♣9♥ of Obadun.

On the next hand, George Pop raised to 32,000 in middle position and Obadun flat-called. The flop fell Q♠5♣2♥ and Pop sized up a bet of 38,000. Obadun raised to 105,000 and Pop called.

The turn brought the K♥ and Pop checked to Obadun who bet 200,000. Pop elected to lay his hand down and Obadun raked in the pot.

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Jack McDermott raised to 25,000 in the hijack and Bixi Yao stuck in a three-bet to 85,000 on the button. The blinds folded and McDermott four-bet ripped all in for 328,000. Yao quickly called and the cards were on their backs.

Jack McDermott: Q♠J♠
Bixi Yao: Q♣Q♦

The flop of A♠9♠6♣ got a reaction from the table as McDermott flopped a flush draw. The 5♣ on the turn was black but not the right suit for McDermott. The J♣ hit the river and Yao's pocket queens held up to eliminate McDermott.

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Tobias Kirby opened to 32,000 in middle position and Ryan Otto three-bet to 100,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Kirby called to see a flop of K♦5♦4♦. Both players checked and the K♠ landed on the turn.

Kirby led out with a bet of 100,000 and Otto stuck around for the 6♠ on the river. Kirby reached back for a bet of 358,000 which got Otto thinking. After using one of his time banks, Otto mucked and Kirby was awarded the pot.
