Jamie Dwan raised to 32,000 in middle position and Dimitrios Patroklou moved all in for 160,000 in the hijack. Calogero Morreale called in the small blind, while Dwan got out of the way.
Hussni Alkhuzai moved all in for 210,000 in the cutoff and Arun Sood called in the big blind.
Hussni Alkhuzai: 4♠4♣
Arun Sood: Q♠J♠
"On the flop dealer," Sood asked.
"A four?" Alkhuzai asked.
"What do you want?" tablemate Javier Zarco said to Sood.
"I don't mind a queen or a jack. Or spades," Sood replied, but it was Alkhuzai who got his wish on the 8♣4♦2♦ flop by making a set. The rest of the board ran out A♠9♠ and Alkhuzai doubled up.
"One more. Spade," Zarco joked with the dealer after the hand.
Jamie Walden moved all in for around 210,000 from the button and was up against Michael Rosaman in the big blind.
Jamie Walden: A♠8♣
Michael Rosaman: A♥9♥
Walden was up from his seat and putting on his coat as the flop came A♣K♣2♦, giving both players top pair. The J♠ turn left open the possibility of a chop, but Rosaman's nine-kicker continued to play on the 5♣ river to send Walden to the rail.
Santino Dean had managed to double up once after being left short by Jamie Dwan, and shortly after moved all in again for 36,000 from under the gun. Abel Aspas then reraised to 75,000 in the cutoff, but Fraser Bellamy made it 200,000 on the button. Aspas took a minute before folding.
Santino Dean: J♦7♣
Fraser Bellamy: A♣A♠
Bellamy had woken up with aces and improved to a full house on the 4♦10♥10♣3♦A♦ board to send Dean to the rail in 24th place.
Many poker players enjoy rivalries; some are fierce, some are more for the banter. Jack "JaackMaate" Dean and his cousin Sonny have been learning to play poker together, travelling to 888poker LIVE events and competing in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.
Both Jack and Sonny have been locked in a battle to be the first one to cash in a live event and see them have a Hendon Mb Database profile created. Jack busted from this event on Day 1, but Sonny sailed through his flight, navigated past the bubble, and has reached the final three tables of the £1,250 buy-in Main Event.
