Edwards on Life Support

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Luke Edwards is on life support after getting his chips in preflop with {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} and running into {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}. The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts} with no king for Edwards, he was left with just around 10,000 in chips.

Always nice to look down at pocket kings. Never nice to run them into Aces.

Confusing Win for Edwards

Level 11 : 900/1,400, 200 ante

We recently arrived at the aftermath what ended up being an confusing situation.

As far as we could tell, it was a three way all in with Luke Edwards having {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and two opponents having {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} and {a-}{q-} and the board showing {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs} board on the felt - meaning Edwards had made a flush to win the hand. Edwards had both his opponents covered and so it looked like a double elimination.

The player with the pocket sixes left the tournament area, but the other player had chips remaining despite Edwards having him covered.

The dealer sent the pot to Edwards, which prompted Edwards to say, "It was all in," gesturing to the other player's stack.

"I never said all in," the player said.

"But we were all in," Edwards replied. "We turned our cards over preflop."

Apparently Edwards had opened with a raise, the player with the sixes had moved his short stack all in and the other player had called. Edwards then claimed to have moved all in, but apparently only said "Im not going anywhere," as he put chips forward, but not his whole stack.

Edwards and the player with the sixes then turned their cards over and then, apparently confused, the other player also turned their cards over.

The board was then run out and then Edwards found out what went down.

Because of this, Edwards lost his chance to bet with his live opponent, but ultimately the TD ruling was that nothing could be done and the dealer was warned to be more careful in the future to ensure players are all on the same page.

Regardless, Edwards is up to a six-figure stack after being as low as 20,000 at one stage.

Pockett Shoves, Wins Chips

Level 11 : 900/1,400, 200 ante

We recently arrived to find Ben Pockett shoving all in for 29,300 on the turn of a {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} board against one opponent. The player went deep into the tank, taking several minutes before opting to surrender their hand. With that, the chips went to Pockett who is starting to rebuild after being on the decline throughout the day.

Peco Takes Hit

Level 11 : 900/1,400, 200 ante

Peco Stojanovski has taken a hit to his once large stack.

He was up over six figures not too long ago, but is now down to 60,000.

He lost some of those chips when a short-stacked player was all in with {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Stojanovski had him at-risk with {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

The {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Spades} was no good to Stojanovski and so he sent his opponent a double up.

Minjae Crushing

Level 11 : 900/1,400, 200 ante

Min Jae Park has grown to one of the larger stacks here on day 2 and even looks like he might be the leader.

A recent hand that contributed to his growth involved a raiser from early position to 4,100 and a shove from the button to 20,200. Park was in the big blind and made the call and the original raiser folded. It was a classic race with the at risk player holding the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and Park having {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. The flop and turn gave no help to Park but when the {A-Spades} fell on the river a cry of “yes” came from Park and he grows to over 250,000 in chips.
