Yan Rivers Yu to Double in Fortunate Fashion

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

With 9,900 in the middle and the flop showing {Q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}, [Removed:17] checked in the cutoff and Winfred Yu bet 7,000 on the button. Yan reluctantly moved all in for only 12,550 and Yu called.

[Removed:17]: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Winfred Yu: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The {4-Hearts} on the turn was a blank and Yan already grabbed his belongings, however he sat back down as soon as the {7-Diamonds} river improved his hand to a full house.

"Just Call Him Tolly Fish"

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

Tolly Sakellariou raised to 600 and Sam Higgs on the button as well as the big blind called. The flop of {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts} was checked to Higgs and he bet 1,500, which only sakellariou called. After the {4-Clubs} turn, a check followed once more and Higgs made it 3,300 to go. Sakellariou came along and check-called the {A-Spades} river to a bet worth 7,100.

Higgs flashed his {10-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a busted straight draw and Sakellariou had that beat with {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. "You called me with that?" Higgs joked and soon after added in table chat "just call him Tolly fish."

Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

Matt Berkey raised to 1,100 from under the gun and Niall Farrell three-bet to 4,500 from the small blind. Berkey called.

The flop came {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Farrell continued for 6,700. Berkey called. The turn was the {7-Spades} and Farrell checked. The Scot only had around 20,000 behind and Berkey moved all in, covering his opponent. Farrell snap-called.

Niall Farrell: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} - straight; flush draw
Matt Berkey: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} - top set

Farrell was ahead with a turned straight, but the river was another {9-} giving Berkey a full house and sending Farrell to the rail.

Grafton Eliminated in Very First Hand

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

Marc MacDonnell raised to 1,100 from under the gun. Sam Grafton three-bet to 3,800 on the button. The blinds folded and MacDonnell four-bet to 11,700. Grafton five-bet all in and MacDonnell called.

Sam Grafton: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Marc MacDonnell: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The flop came {2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} with Grafton saying, sarcastically, "Always a sweat!" The turn {j-Diamonds} and river {2-Diamonds} bricked and Grafton was sent to the rail on the very first hand.

Berkey Busts One

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

A short stack was all in and at risk for around 11,000 from the cutoff and Matt Berkey in the big blind looked him up to take a flip with {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} versus {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. The flop of {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} immediately provided both over cards to improve Berkey to two pair, and the {4-Hearts} turn and {K-Clubs} river failed to improve the short stack.

The vacant seat was empty for just a minute as Stefan Huber arrived with a fresh stack and entered the competition.
