JP Kelly

Double bracelet winner JP Kelly is back up to his starting stack.

It's unclear where the money went in but Kelly's {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} had beaten Uladzimir Zakharau's {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} by the river of the {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{K-Diamonds} board.

Well-Fed

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

On the turn of a {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} board, Jesper Feddersen check-raised Eric Sadoun's 4,000 bet to 14,400. Sadoun made the call to see the {A-Clubs} on the river.

Feddersen wasted little time and picked up his remaining 1k and 5k chips and pushed them in the middle. Sadoun called quickly but Feddersen showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for a full house.

Feddersen turned to Sadoun, "Ace-jack?"

"I had ace-king of diamonds," replied Sadoun.

Blind Battle Good for Wetemans

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Jasper Wetemans opened for 1,300 from the small blind and French pro Timothee Jerbillet made the call from the big blind.

Both players checked the {Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop and the {4-Diamonds} soon hit the turn. Wetemans now bet 1,500 and Jerbillet made the call.

The {2-Spades} fell on the river and Wetemans bet 3,800. Jerbillet was contemplating his options and decided to raise to 9,300. Now it was time for Wetemans to think about the possibilities. After some thinking he made the call and Jerbillet mucked his hand. Wetemans showed his {Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and raked in the chips.

Some News on Dubai's Demise

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Dave Shallow
Dave Shallow

During Level 6 Dave 'Dubai' Shallow went from being potential chip leader, with almost 100,000, to out in short order. Apparently he lost two big pots in succession in nasty spots to bust. We didn't see either first hand but Sunny Chattha, who also bust shortly before the break, told us what he knew. "He lost about 50,000 with A-Q against aces on an A-Q-6-6 board," said Chattha. "And then on a king high board his opponent jammed the turn with pocket fives, he called with K-10 and the river was a five."

The main beneficiary of this appears to have been Ayman Zbib, who know has a monstrous stack of 144,000. To put that in perspective it's only 10,100 less than the Day 1a chip leader and there's over two hours of play left on Day 1b.

Dinner Break

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

The players are now on a 75-minute dinner break. When they come back there will be two more levels of play before they finish for the night.

Spinks Binks

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jon Spinks moved all in from UTG for 5,025 with {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and was called in middle position by Guy Goosens' {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.

It looked like the Spinks rollercoaster was coming to an end but the board came {9-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{7-Hearts} giving Spinks trips and over 10,000.
