Neilson Wins Without Showdown

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

Pre-flop a player sitting under the gun raised to 7,000 with Daniel Neilson (cutoff) and Erik Seidel (button) making the call before the big blind squeezed to 30,000 in total. All three other players call taking the action 4-way to a {j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop.

Both the big blind and under the gun player checked and Neilson reached for chips, betting out for 32,000. Seidel folded and the big blind check-raised to 100,000 in total leaving himself 107,000 behind, the under the gun player folded and action came back around to Neilson.

The Aussie pro quickly moved all-in for 217,000 in total sending his opponent deep into the think tank for a good five minutes, though he eventually elected to fold and Neilson won without showdown to climb to 437,000.

More for McCorkell

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

Craig McCorkell is stacking chips after finding himself a double up.

We arrived to see the dealer cutting out McCorkell’s last 68,000 for his tablemate to match as the board read {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

McCorkell: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}

McCorkell had the best of it with kings and tens to take his stack into the six-figure region.

Hoefer: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} to see Kanit improve to a set of aces on the flop resulting in Hoefer hitting the rail.

Astapau Takes One From Bantick

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

Anton Astapau opened to 6,000 from the cutoff and Brit Stephen Bantick three-bet to 12,000 from the big blind. Astapau tanked for two minutes before announcing a four-bet of 34,000 in total and Bantick called.

The flop came down {j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Bantick checked it over to Astapau who hit the think tank once more before declaring a bet of 24,000. Bantick quickly folded and Astapau scooped the pot to climb to 137,000. Bantick still has a sizeable stack and is sitting on around 400,000.

Kanit Building Once Again

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

On a flop of {8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} Mustapha Kanit bet out 9,000 from middle position before his opponent on the button raised to 18,000. Kanit called.

The turn brought the {5-Hearts} and Kanit checked. His opponent didn't wait too long to fire out 27,000. Kanit called shortly after.

The {5-Diamonds} completed the board and both players quickly checked.

The button then opened his hand to reveal {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top pair but it wouldn't be enough as Kanit flipped over {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for an overpair and the winning hand.

Neilson Applies The Pressure

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

There was around 75,000 in the pot heading into turn after the three players committed 15,000 each on a flop of {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

Erik Seidel then checked as the {6-Spades} dropped on the turn and was followed by Artur Koren. Daniel Neilson then splashed out 25,500 forcing Seidel out. Koren reached for his chips and called.

The {8-Clubs} completed the board and Koren checked. Neilson picked up some chips and cut out a bet totalling 48,000. Koren deliberated for a minute before releasing his hand to the muck.

Shane Warne
Shane Warne

After a tumultuous first level today, Australian cricket legend Shane Warne has been felted at the hands of Laurence Hall.

Warne was super short after running kings into aces and we arrived at the table to see the board spread {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades} with Warne holding {10-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a pair of tens, but behind Hall’s {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for two pair.

Hall Doubles Through Wakeman

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

Laurence Hall moved all in for 46,300 from under the gun before the decision folded around to Matthew Wakeman in the cutoff. He thought for a minute and called.

Hall: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Wakeman: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The board came out {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{k-Diamonds} to see Hall spike an unlikely king on the river to take down the pot with a higher pair.
