Karamalikis: {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Mathers: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs} to see Mathers make a higher flush, doubling him up to over 150,000 in chips.

Guess Who Doubled Again?

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We arrived at the table just as Joe Cabret and Shaun Hughes were revealing their cards after a pre flop betting exchange. Cabret was at risk again holding {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} against Hughes’ {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

Cabret was on the brink of elimination when the dealer had spread out {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} board. However, the miracle {a-Clubs} appeared on the river to give Cabret the better pair sending back over 300,000 in chips.

Huge Comeback from Cabret

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Could this become the greatest comeback in history?

Only time will tell, but this is how the story starts.

Joe Cabret was very unlucky when he was left with just 5,000 in chips after being all in preflop holding {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} against Matthew Rolfe’s {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Rolfe hit a wheel on a {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop.

The next hand saw Cabret ante-up 2,000 and move all in for 3,000. Cabret then scooped up the pot holding {8-}{6-} on a {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board against Matthew Rolfe’s {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

The next hand saw Cabret fold and then the next hand he was all in for 24,000 holding {8-Spades}{6-Spades} against Ashley Mason’s {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. The board ran out {4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and now Cabret was up to around 60,000.

Yet again Cabret found himself all in, this time for 60,000 and holding {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} against Jason Gray’s {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. The board ran out {3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{q-Clubs} and with that Cabret had moved up to 138,000.

So, there you have it, Cabret went from a few hundred thousand, down to 3,000 and now back up above six figures.

Luu Wins Big

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The hand started with Phi Luu opening to 24,000 from middle position before Jonathan Karamalikis raised it up to 52,000 from the cut off. Luu made the call as both watched the flop come {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

Luu checked before Karamalikis made a continuation bet of 75,000 which was called. The {7-Diamonds} brought another check from Luu as Karamalikis applied the pressure, sliding out another 145,000. This time Luu contemplated his decision for over a minute before making the call.

The {q-Clubs} fell on the river and both players checked before Karamalikis tabled his {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a missed flush. Luu the rolled over his {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a pair which was enough to win the pot.

Dinner Plan

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The players have just been told they will have a 40-minute dinner break at the end of the current level.

Yan Manages a Double

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

[Removed:17] is still alive, but only just after doubling through Bowdy Tolhopf. It was a battle of the blinds with Tolhopf limping the small, before Yan pushed all in for 114,000 from the big. Tolhopf quickly called with {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} as Yan sheepishly showed {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

The flop was {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{k-Clubs} to give Tolhopf top pair but Yan picked up outs to a flush. The turn was the {k-Hearts} but the {8-Clubs} river gave five clubs to Yan for a lucky double. He's up to 250,000 with Tolhopf still one of our chip leaders at around one million chips.
