Ledesma Scores the Double

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The flop was {7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and with only around 5,000 in the middle, Manuel Ledesma had shoved all in blind on blind for his last 31,400.

The big blind pondered his decision before calling.

Manuel Ledesma: {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The turn {10-Hearts} and river {3-Hearts} changed nothing and Ledesma doubled up.

"That's brutal," Ledesma said in Spanish as he stacked up his chips.

Elimination Moves Simpson into Chip Lead

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Ian Simpson
Ian Simpson

On a {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} flop a player check-called a bet of 10,000 from 888poker Ambassador Ian Simpson.

The turn was the {k-Spades} and it checked to Simpson again. He bet 15,000 and his opponent instantly check-raised all in for 50,000. Simpson called.

All-In Player: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}
Ian Simpson: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Simpson had flopped top set but the turn had improved his opponent to the flush. However, holding the ace of spades would prove pivotal as the {q-Spades} river improved Simpson to a better flush and eliminated his opponent, moving Simpson to over 400,000 chips in the process.
