Updated Chip Counts

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Lucky Break for Boom?

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

An interesting scenario just played out of table 27 involving Tony Bloom and Lita Hsu.

They were heads up and at the turn of a {4-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} board. Hsu checked and Bloom said he announced all in but put a 5k chips in before his two stacks of smaller denomination chips. The dealer and the rest of table didn't hear the verbal declaration so the dealer ruled only the 5k chip would count.

The river came as the {9-Hearts} and Hsu set Bloom in for his last 28,300. Bloom smiled, shrugged and folded.

Ivey Loses Big Pot

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey and Gerald Karlic played out a pot that went a few minutes into the break. It left Ivey in trouble and Karlic with a huge stack.

A big pile of yellow T5,000 chips were already in the middle by the time the board rested as {k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Karlic checked from the small blind and had Ivey studying him before he heard the words, "All in."

He double checked his cards and called off his remaining 134,000 with the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} for top set. Ivey's {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs} was coldy beaten and he didn't look pleased.

Lo Lays Down a Bad Beat

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Just before the break a big hand took place over at Table 25.

The exact betting action escaped us, but we do know a preflop raising war resulted in Apoorva Goel getting his sizable stack all in against Wai Tung Lo, who got his hand caught in the cookie jar.

Goel: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Lo: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop paired Lo, but he needed more help if he was going to crack Goel's pocket rockets. The dealer burned and turned the {K-Hearts}, which gave Lo trips and put a dagger through Goel's heart. The {9-Spades} river wasn't the ace Goel needed, and just like that a bad beat sent him to the rail.

Meanwhile, Australia's Stuart Barron was also eliminated from the tournament at the tail end of Level 13.

The Board Didn't Love Raymond

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Robert Raymond took on Benny Spindler in a race and it didn't work out the way he wanted.

The former EPT London champion opened from under the gun and called after Raymond three-bet all in from late position.

Spindler: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Raymond: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The board ran {j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

"Good game," Spindler said to his opponent as he made his exit.

Marsland and Chia Take Their Leave

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Glenn Pauling opened with a raise from the cutoff only to have Dale Marsland three-bet jam from the small blind. The big blind folded and Pauling made the call.

Pauling: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Marsland: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

It was a flip, but not after the flop came down {q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and gave Pauling a set. The {K-Clubs} turn kept Marsland alive, but the {4-Diamonds} river proved useless. With that we say goodbye to Marsland.

Meanwhile, Joachim Chia was also eliminated from the tournament when his {a-}{q-} was outdrawn by the {j-}{9-} of Dominic Coombe, who managed to find two more nines on the flop.

Urlings Busts in Classic Race

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

If great calls were the determining factor in winning poker tournaments then Jordi Urlings would've already won the Aussie Millions. He busted Dan Smith on Day 1c by calling his all in holding just queen high. Unfortunately for him, the last player standing wins tournaments and to do that, you have to win your races.

Jordi Urlings was down to 78,00 when he raised and four-bet all in versus Glenn Pauling.

Urlings: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Pauling: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran {10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} to make Pauling two pair.

Urlings wished everyone the best of luck, picked up his bag and headed off.

Lynskey Doubles with Aces

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Alexander Lynskey and Jordi Urlings raised back and forth preflop until all the money went into the middle. Lynskey turned over the {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}, and Urlings had the {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. The flop, turn, and river ran out {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{J-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and Lynskey doubled up.

Lynskey was all in preflop for 168,100, and now has about 340,000 in chips. Urlings was left with roughly 80,000.
