Appreciation For The Structure

[user76023]

We were speaking to Scott O'Reilly, who very much is a fan of the structure, comparing it favourably to the main event, liking the high number of hands per hour though he would've liked antes in the tournament.

He's still on 9,900 at the moment.

All tables still have at least five players playing on them with a couple still having a full compliment of nine players.

Level: 4

Blinds: 150/300

Ante: 0

Oops...

[user76023]

Slight problem for Steven Ducharme, who bet out on the river of a {K-?}

board only to be quickly called by Thuy Quach. Ducharme had had to bluff with {7-?}

but unfortunately Quach had overquads, holding {K-?}

.

Quach has 21,000 but Ducharme is the chip leader on the table with 25,000 still.

Beggs-er Belief

[user76023]

Ronald Beggs pushed for 7,325 over the top of a 4,000 bet from Angelo Scicchitano on a {K-Hearts}

board.

Scicchitano took his time to call with {8-Clubs}

, miles ahead of Beggs' {K-Clubs}

but the river was the {K-Diamonds}

making Beggs the bigger full house.

Oliver Gill played the part of Captain Obvious in the hand, "That was a helpful card..."

Scicchitano was crippled and knocked out soon after. Beggs is the chip leader on his table with about 33,000.

Level: 5

Blinds: 200/400

Ante: 0

Elder Buries Clark

[user76023]

Rupert Elder opened for 1000 and Kyle Clark moved all-in for 3,600. Elder thought for a second and called.

Elder: {3-Clubs}

Clark:

Board:

Elder's full house (well it's so small we should probably call it a bungalow) took the pot and he's up to 20,000 as a result.
