Neville Betty three-bet to 43,000 in middle position before David Gee four-bet to 120,000 under the gun, Betty called and they saw a flop of Q♥5♣3♣.

At another table, Steven Warburton was eliminated by Mark McDade when he couldn't win a race with A♥Q♣ against 9♣9♦ on a board of 10♥10♦6♦5♦10♣.

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Gerald McInally made the money with just one big blind and quickly earned a double up. He was then all in again as Bashir Ali shoved for 28,000 under the gun, McInally put in his last 34,000 in the cutoff, and Qasim Zia called in the big blind.

Bashir Ali: 10♠6♦ All in
Gerald McInally: K♦Q♣ All in
Qasim Zia: 7♦5♦

"Please, dealer," McInally said, standing up from his seat and holding his hands together in prayer as the flop came A♥5♠Q♠ to give him a pair of queens. The rest of the board ran out 9♦8♥ and McInally took the pot to virtually triple up and send Ali to the rail.

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Olabode Ayegun survived the bubble with just 25,000 and quickly got his last chips in the middle from the big blind against Jonathan Roberts in the cutoff.

Olabode Ayegun: K♦3♥ All in
Jonathan Roberts: 3♠3♦

"How about a king," Ayegun pleaded as the flop came 6♠7♣9♣. The 7♥ turn gave him some outs to counterfeit Roberts' pair. "Or a nine," he said, but Ayegun missed the A♣ river and was sent to the payout desk.
