Moose Moving

Raemin "Jake the Moose" Alexander is moving in the right direction after eliminating a short stacked opponent.

The Moose's {A-Clubs}{q-Spades} would be well in control against the all in player's {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

It would stay that way with the board running out {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

Alexander has 38,000 in chips.

Carl Booth has just managed to score a crucial double-up to 33,000 after he moved all-in preflop with {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and stayed ahead all they down a board of {q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts} against an opponent who called with {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Chris "minesony" Evans is also sitting pretty on 99,000 in chips after his {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} outkicked an opponent's {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} despite both players hitting a pair on the {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Spades} board, which sent the opponent to the rail.

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}, improving neither hand and Stavropoulos doubled up to 75,000 while Woods slips to 140,000.

Aristidou Chips Up

Preflop, the player under the gun opened to 8,000 and Peter Aristidou asked how much he had behind before betting out the required 21,200. Manny Rodrigues flat called, and the under the gun made the all in call.

The flop of {j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} had Aristidou lead out 25,000 which forced Rodrigues to open muck his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

With no more action pending Aristidou and the all in player showed down their hands.

Arisitdou had {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} while the under the gun player had {A-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

The turn {2-Hearts} and river {3-Spades} blanked off sending the pot to Aristidou. He now has 160,000.

Langman Moves on Up

Florian Langman is now on 113,000 and counting after taking a chunk of change from Harry Kaczka and then eliminating another opponent.

Brendan Edmonds raised preflop to 5,500 preflop before Kaczka and Langman called, then all three players checked the flop of {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

On the turn of the {6-Hearts}, Edmonds and Kaczka checked, Langman opened for 8,800, Edmonds folded but Kaczka raised to 60,000, which was more than enough to put Langman all in.

Langman committed his last 45,400 before Edmonds got out of the way.

Langman: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Kaczka: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Langman had hit the ten-high straight, leaving Kaczka drawing thin. The {2-Spades} bricked out on the river, leaving Langman with just 37,000.

Langman scored another scalp shortly after, getting his money in good with pocket queens against an opponent's {a-Spades}{10-Spades}. The board improved neither hand.
