Can Anyone Stop This Man?

"It's always nice when you have the second nuts on the river and someone shoves into you!" said Lee Clayton from the TV crew.

He was referring to, now big chip leader, Marc Wright. He was up against Kenny Hicks and the board read {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.

Wright had checked to Hicks who shoved with {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. The Brit snap -called and tabled {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for a flush.

Geshkenbein On The Slide Again

Vladimir Geshkenbein was up to over one million but is now back down to half that amount after losing seven of his last eight pots, according to his Twitter account.

We just saw him lose one of those seven when he saw Cesar Garcia Domínguez open from middle position and he decided to three-bet him, next to act, to 62,000. Domínguez called and then checked when the flop came down {8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. Geshkenbein checked behind and it was off to the {9-Clubs}. Domínguez now lead into his Russian opponent with a 75,000 bet and the bet was quickly called but they were the last chips to enter the pot because both players checked the arrival of the {4-Diamonds} on the river.

Domínguez showed {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} prompting a smile from Geshkenbein who sarcastically acknowledged "nice hand."

Pass the Dutchie to the Left Hand Side

Michiel Brummelhuis lost all but a few of his chips to his neighbour Dmitry Grinenko, and busted the very next hand.

Brummelhuis opened from the hijack and made a quick call when Grinenko three-bet all-in from one seat to the left.

Grinenko: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Brummelhuis: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board ran {2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} to make Grinenko a flush.

Both players banged their fist on the table, but the emotional trigger behind the reaction were poles apart.

Brummelhuis only had 65,000 left and was eliminated the by Thomas Cibak. Ironically Brummelhuis found his {8-Spades}{7-Clubs} dominated by Cibak's {9-Spades}{7-Spades} but he failed to come from behind.
