Updated Counts Before the Break

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Brabin Loses a Few, Out the Next

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Kanaan opened to 80,000 from the button, and was called by Luke Brabin in the big blind. The flop came {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and both players checked as the {9-Hearts} fell on the turn. Brabin slid out 70,000 in chips, and was called, before throwing out another 120,000 on the river when the {K-Spades} appeared. Kanaan hesitantly called, but was relieved when Brabin tabled his {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. He rolled over {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} to win the hand.

In the very next hand, the action folded around to Brabin the the small blind, who open-shipped for 465,000. Anthony Hachem was in the big blind, and went into the tank for a minute. He eventually convinced himself to call, and it was the right choice.

Brabin: {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Hachem: {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Brabin must’ve been a little upset about the previous hand, and was sent to the rail when the board ran out {Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

Brabin Back in Business

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Luke Brabin has been hanging on as virtually the short stack of the field for most of the day. He started the day short, survived the bubble pretty short, and got down to the last two tables short. Well, he’s not so short anymore thanks to a big double up through Daniel Neilson.

The chips were in preflop with Brabin finding {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} against Neilson’s {a-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. The board fell {7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} to leave Brabin in front for the double up to over 800,000. Neilson slips to 1.1 million.

Allen Takes out Nguyen

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Fabian Craig opened with a bet of 60,000 from the button, before being met with an all in for around 500,000 from Dave Allen in the small blind. Kwang Nguyen looked down at his cards, and decided it was his time too, moving all in for 450,000 in chips. Craig folded as the other two players tabled their cards.

Allen: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Nguyen: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

Nguyen was behind, but the flop gave him some hope as it came out {10-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{A-Spades}. However, the {3-Hearts} and {7-Clubs} came on the turn and river to see him out in 13th place.

Level: 23

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Ante: 5,000

Potts Night Ends

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Trevor Potts has nursed his short-stack for a considerably long time, picking his spots, and finding a double were necessary.

It all had to come to an end though, as he moved all in for his last 150,000 from the button with {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Shane Moran woke up with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and made the call as both players waited for the board to be spread out.

Board: {6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Moran spiked the ace on the flop, and held as the final two cards were no help for Potts, as he would be eliminated in 15th place.

Huge River for Fabian

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Fabian Craib has taken an enormous pot from Kwang Nguyen to now hold a clear advantage over the remaining 15 players. The hand in question saw Craib open from early position with a min-raise to 60,000. Nguyen three-bet to 125,000 and Craib called to take a flop of {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

Craib checked and then called the continuation bet of Nguyen for 175,000 to see the {6-Spades} hit the turn. Craig checked and Nguyen fired again for 200,000. The price was right for Craib who made the call as the {A-Hearts} appeared on the river.

This time Craib came out swinging with a bet of 305,000. Nguyen thought briefly before tossing out a single chip to indicate a call but dropped his head in dismay when Craib showed him {K-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for the nut flush.

Nguyen was dented to just 400,000 in chips as Craib climbs to a commanding 2.75 million.

Allen Doubles Twice

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

After being crippled down to 100,000 not to long ago, Dave Allen has doubled twice through Fabian Craig to move back up to 500,000 in chips.

The first hand saw Allen hold with {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} against {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} as the board ran out jack-high, with the hand straight after seeing his {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} out-kicking the {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} on a board reading {3-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.
