Bredin Gets the Double

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Laidlaw shoved his monster chip stack in from the button and Jonathan Bredin called off his stack of 315,000. Bredin held {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and would need to catch some cards against Laidlaw's {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

The {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop helped Bredin, while the {9-Spades} turn and the {6-Hearts} river kept him front and sent him the double.

Laidlaw Takes Huge Lead

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Laidlaw has just taken a huge lead over Jonathan Bredin!

The hand started with Daniel Laidlaw having the button, but Bredin accidentally acted out of turn, trying to raise to 80,000. Laidlaw then raised to 80,000 and Bredin was given back all options. Bredin opted to raise to 160,000. Back on Laidlaw and he moved all in for 925,000. Bredin decided to call and tabled his {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, having Laidlaw at-risk holding {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

The {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop gave Laidlaw the lead and it stayed that way as a {6-Diamonds} hit the turn and a {4-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

Laidlaw now has a monster chip lead.

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Laidlaw was on the button and raised it up to 60,000. Jonathan Bredin called and a {j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop was dealt. Bredin check-called a bet of 40,000 and a {5-Spades} landed on the turn. Bredin check-called a 90,000-chip bet and a {9-Spades} completed the board.

On the river, Bredin again checked and Laidlaw thought for a few moments before shrugging and checking behind. Laidlaw tabled {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a pair of nines, while Bredin held {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a pair of fives.

Laidlaw Slips

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Jonathan Bredin now has around a three-to-one chip lead following a few small pots and another hand that played out like so.

Bredin had the button and raised it up to 60,000. Daniel Laidlaw called out of the big blind and the dealer turned over a {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop. Laidlaw check-called a bet of 65,000 and a {4-Diamonds} hit the turn. Laidlaw check-called a bet of 90,000 and a {k-Spades} completed the board on the river. This time both players checked and Bredin tabled {10-Hearts}{4-Spades} - good enough to send Laidlaw's cards flying into the muck.

Lead Switches Again

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Laidlaw opened with a raise from the button to 60,000 before Jonathan Bredin three-bet to 120,000. Laidlaw called in position to see a flop of {5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

Bredin checked and Laidlaw bet 100,000. Bredin asked several times to take another look at his hole cards before he made the call. The {q-Spades} appeared on the turn and Bredin checked again. Laidlaw slid out a bet of 150,000 but Bredin responded by announcing himself all in with great gusto. A visibly frustrated Laidlaw instantly mucked as the lead was handed back across to Bredin.
