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

Konstantino Patsourakis opened to 3,500 in middle position and action folded around to Jamie Morris in the small blind, who three-bet to 7,500.

Patsourakis called and the Q♠2♠4♠ flop was flipped up. A pair of checks saw the dealer reveal the A♠ turn, where both players checked once more.

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

Right after serving a one-round penalty, action folded to Anthony Kennedy in the small blind. Kennedy moved all in and was quickly at risk when Yucel Eminoglu called in the big blind.

"What can I do?" asked Eminoglu as he turned over his cards.

Anthony Kennedy: 10♣5♦ All in
Yucel Eminoglu: A♥A♦

Kennedy found some help on the 8♥10♥8♠ flop, while the 9♦ turn left Eminoglu in front. The dealer then revealed the 8♣ river, giving Eminoglu and full house and sending Kennedy to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Paul Trotter opened in middle position before Stephen Mckay three-bet to 10,000 in the small blind. Trotter then moved all in and was quickly called.

Stephen Mckay: Q♣Q♦ All in
Paul Trotter: J♣J♦

Mckay was looking to dodge a jack, but the 10♦8♦J♦ saw Trotter take the lead. The rest of the 8♣K♠ runout was no help, as Trotter saw his queens come up second best to hit the rail.

Parker Cracks Kings

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Alicia Richardson opened to 2,500 from under the gun before Francois Tosques slid out a three-bet in middle position. James Parker called in the big blind, with Richardson coming along to the 8♥2♣3♦ flop.

Action checked to Tosques, who bet 6,000. Parker called and Richardson got out of the way.

Parker then moved all in on the 5♣ turn and Tosques made the call.

James Parker: A♦4♦ All in
Francois Tosques: K♠K♥

The J♠ river changed nothing, as Parker earned the double up with a wheel to defeat Tosques' pocket kings.
