Break It Up

Time for the last 15-minute break of the night. All the green T25 chips will have magically disappeared when we return.

Heitmann Low

Robo-Jan
Robo-Jan
Jan Heitmann has taken a rather serious hit. We're not sure exactly what happened, but when we joined the action the flop read {6-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {4-Clubs} and Heitmann was facing a 14,425 bet from his opponent. Usually almost robotic in his stillness at the table, Heitmann was for once really squirming, and it was not a massive surprise when he folded.

Heitmann is left with 27,000.

A Worthwhile Pot for Ainsworth

Jude Ainsworth raised from early position, and action folded to the big blind, who added 4,250 on top. Ainsworth four-bet, and his opponent tank-called.

Flop: {8-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {3-Spades} - Both players checked.

Turn: {9-Diamonds} - The big blind checked, and Ainsworth bet 8,000. His opponent didn't skip a beat before tossing in the call, despite leaving himself only 13,250 behind.

River: {Q-Spades} - Another check to Ainsworth, who announced he was all in. The big blind took a minute contemplating the fate of his last chips. Finally he slid them across the line. Ainsworth turned up {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} for aces up to bust his opponent. Jude is over 85,000 now.

Heeeeere Kitai Kitai Kitai

He's no pussy
He's no pussy
Also hitting the rail in recent times was Davidi Kitai. His chips went in preflop with pocket nines and he found himself up against {A-?} {Q-?} and {A-?} {K-?}, the {A-?} {Q-?} in the possession of Johnny Lodden. The first four community cards came down {8-?} {10-?} {J-?} {7-?} to give Kitai a straight - but the {K-?} on the river gave Lodden a higher straight and Kitai headed for the catflap, tail between his legs.

Levi Stripped Bare

It's a boy!
It's a boy!
Alas, we will not be getting to enjoy the eye-watering sight of Nicolas Levi in ladies' lingerie for the rest of the week, as he coinflipped his way out of the tournament when his pocket queens failed to hold up against his opponent's {A-?} {K-?}. Please enjoy this one last glimpse of him looking lovelier than he has ever looked before.

Thorson Benefits from Set Over Set

Thanks for Carter Phillips, William Thorson has doubled up again and now has about 65,000 chips. Or maybe he should be thanking the dealer? Or maybe the poker gods? Either way, he's got a lot more chips now.

After Phillips flopped a set, Thorson barreled into him on the flop and turn. On the river, Phillips jammed over the top of Thorson's third bet, but little did he know that Thorson rivered a higher set. The Swede was there to make the call and win the 65,000-chip pot from Phillips.

While Thorson doubled his stack on the hand, Phillips was left with about 35,000 chips.
