Lyall Wins a Massive Flip Off Davenport

David Salituro

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

On the main feature stage, Dean Lyall was all in for 280,000 from the big blind as Matthew Davenport put him at risk in early position.

Dean Lyall: A♦Q♥ All in
Matthew Davenport: J♣J♦

Nearly 600,000 was at stake as they went to the flop, which came Q♠8♥Q♣ to give Lyall the lead with trips. The A♠ turn improved Lyall to a full house and Davenport was already drawing dead by the 6♦ river as Lyall raked in the massive pot.

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

Jack Moore raised to 16,000 in the cutoff and Robbie Bull three-bet to 50,000 in the small blind. Moore then moved all in and Bull snap-called for 220,000.

Robbie Bull: A♦K♥ All in
Jack Moore: Q♥Q♣

It was a classic flip, and Bull pulled far in front on the A♣8♠A♠ flop with trips. The turn, though, was the Q♦ to give Moore a full house, and Bull missed the 6♥ river as he was sent to the rail.

Craig McCairns also busted shortly after the bubble burst.

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

Maogen Fu raised to 16,000 in early position and William Haughey called in middle position. Iason Filippidis then three-bet to 51,000 in the cutoff and Fu four-bet to 125,000. Haughey got out of the way, but Filippidis moved all in for 250,000 and Fu snap-called.

"Same hand?", Filippidis asked Fu.

"No, I have aces," Fu replied as they waited to turn over their cards.

Iason Filippidis: Q♣Q♠ All in
Maogen Fu: A♦A♥

The A♠K♦3♠ flop gave Fu top set, but Filippidis picked up some slim hope on the Q♥ turn.

"Not like this," tablemate Stephen Barnes said, and Fu dodged the one-outer on the 7♠ river to send Filippidis to the rail on the money bubble.

The remaining 50 players are now in the money.

Josh Manley moved all in for 77,000 in middle positon as action folded to Matthew Davenport who snap-called in the big blind.

Josh Manley: 9♥9♠ All in
Matthew Davenport: K♦K♥

Davenport had woken up with kings as Manley was at risk of busting right before the bubble. The 10♠4♥2♥ flop was no help, while the rest of the board ran out J♠2♠ and the 888poker Stream Team member busted two spots off the money.

In a blind versus blind battle, Jamie Whyte raised to 21,000 and Ian Simpson reraised to 115,000, leaving only a few chips behind. Whyte then moved all in and Simpson committed the rest of his stack.

Ian Simpson: 7♠7♥ All in
Jamie Whyte: J♥J♣

Simpson found himself dominated by Whyte's jacks and found no help on the 6♣4♣6♥8♦A♠ as another 888poker Live title will have to wait for the team ambassador.

With around 60,000 in the pot on a board of 4♦2♣4♥A♦, Michael Kane bet 30,000 from middle positon and Maogen Fu called in the hijack.

The river was the 5♠ and Kane bet 87,000, leaving himself just a few chips behind. Fu tanked for more than a minute until eventually calling as Kane showed 10♦9♦ for a bluff.

Action folded to Robbie Bull in the small blind who moved all in for 63,000 as Mariusz Czech put him at risk in the big blind.

Robbie Bull: K♥K♣ All in
Mariusz Czech: A♣5♣

Bull was ahead with his kings as the flop came Q♥9♠7♣, but the 8♣ turn meant he had to dodge Czech's flush draw. The 2♥ river was safe for Bull as he earned the double up.

Kane hit top pair on the K♥5♥7♣ flop to take the lead, while the J♠ turn gave Guertin outs to a straight. He missed the 4♥ river and Kane scored the knockout.

Dixon Outflips Simpson the Hard Way

David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Joe Dixon raised to 8,000 in middle position, Ian Simpson moved all in from the small blind, and Dixon snap-called for 119,500.

Joe Dixon: A♦K♥ All in
Ian Simpson: 2♥2♠

It was a big flip for Dixon's tournament life, and he picked up additional outs on the 9♦7♣7♠ flop. The 9♥ turn gave him two pair and counterfeited Simpson's deuces.

"Ah. Deuce," Simpson pleaded, but the dealer instead turned over the 5♥ on the river and Dixon doubled up.
