Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was on a flop of 10♣7♥6♠ with Liam Murray having checked to Johan Lees. Lees bet 7,500 with chip leader Ashton Campbell calling.

Murray then check-raised all in for 36,000. Lees re-raised all in, forcing out Campbell.

"You got eight-nine?" asked Murray.

Liam Murray: Q♥10♠ All in
Johan Lees: J♠J♥

Lees had not flopped a straight, but was still ahead of his opponent. The turn 8♦ and river 5♠ changed nothing.

"GG," said Lees as he got up from the table. Meanwhile Campbell was sat shaking his head.

"You had a nine?" Lees asked him, to no reply.

Ashton Campbell looks like the first player over 300,000 chips as we approach the end of Level 9.

A reminder that late registration will close at the end of Level 9, with Day 1g playing down to 12.5% (which would currently equate to 25 players).

After an open to 5,000, Yuanting Wang three-bet all in from the button for 35,000. Daniel Klinger was in the small blind and four-bet all in for over 150,000. The big blind and original raiser both folded and the cards were turned over.

Yuanting Wang: J♥9♠ All in
Daniel Klinger: A♣Q♥

The Q♣3♦2♦ didn't exactly help Wang who was already getting to his feet. The turn 9♥ offered him the chance of salvation, but the river 3♥ sent him to the rail.

Zelig Otter had a decent stack yesterday but was eliminated by eventual end-of-day chip leader Sayed Jabbour. He's sitting with close to 200,000 chips today and opened to 4,000 with calls from Meng Guangrui, Nicholas Cooper and Bert Perry.

The flop came A♣K♠3♣. It checked to Otter who continued for 7,000. Guangrui was the only caller.

The pair checked down the 4♠Q♣ runout.

"Queen," announced Otter, with Guangrui showing A♠9♦ and taking down the pot with top pair.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Elliot Esca opened to 5,000 and called a shove from Brian Gu. Gu was all in for 42,000.

Brian Gu: A♠Q♥ All in
Elliot Esca: A♦J♣

"Can I suck out one time this weekend," said Esca aloud as the flop came K♣10♥8♥. The turn Q♦ completed Esca's straight with the river 10♠ bricking.

"That's the first time this weekend," Esca said to the table.

"I'm going to check," said Laurence Hall to Esca's left. "Check to see, as you've already used your one time!"
