Thatcher Doubles Through Perry

Will Shillibier

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jarrod Thatcher opened to 7,500 and Bert Perry defended his big blind.

The flop came 10♣7♣3♠ and Perry checked. Thatcher bet 10,000 and Perry raised enough to put Thatcher all in. Thatcher called for his last 23,500.

Jarrod Thatcher: K♦K♠ All in
Bert Perry: 10♦9♣

"Nine of clubs is a fun card," said Dejan Boscovic. The turn was the 6♥, giving Perry some straight outs. However the turn was the 5♣ and Thatcher doubled up.

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Malcolm Traynor opened to 8,500 from under the gun. He got calls from Jacque Ramsden, Higor Seibel and Josh Mansell.

The four players checked the 8♥8♠2♥ flop and Mansell led for 15,000 on the 10♠ turn. Traynor raised to 40,000.

Ramsden folded and Seibel called. Mansell then raised all in for around 160,000. Traynor re-shoved and Seibel got out of the way.

Malcolm Traynor: A♣8♦ All in
Josh Mansell: 8♣6♥

Traynor was only slightly covered, and survived after the Q♦ completed the board to leave Mansell with crumbs. He was eliminated minutes later.

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Elliot Esca shoved from the button. Josh Foster was in the big blind and covered. He peeled his cards face up one at a time. The first was the K♥ and the second was the K♦. He called.

Josh Foster: K♥K♦ All in
Elliot Esca: 9♠9♦

Esca had run into it and failed to catch up on the Q♣4♠3♦J♠10♠ runout and was eliminated moments later by the same player, losing out with Jx10x against Foster's Ax9x
