Ainsworth Sends Jin Packing

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Cailin Jin
Cailin Jin

Action folded to Jude Ainsworth on the button and he opened for 12,000. The small blind called, and then Cailin Jin, who has been nursing a short stack for awhile, moved all in for 118,000 total. Ainsworth made the call and the small blind got out of the way.

Ainsworth: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Jin: {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

The {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop was gin for Ainsworth as it delivered him a set and a hammerlock on the hand. The {5-Spades} turn gave Jin hope to a chop, but that didn't happen as the {9-Spades} blanked on the river.

Jin was eliminated in 59th place.

You Are Now Entering The Alex Kravchenko Phase Of The Main Event

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Two days ago we talked about that period towards the end of the first day, a relaxed time when the poison of choice moves from caffeine to alcohol and moods shift from tense to one of ease. So what to call this period, in which players fresh into the money, whittle themselves down from 100 to just 27. With this in mind the PokerStars Blog put together some suggestions. Check it out here.

Dattani Tries Huge Bluff, Caballero Grabs The Lead

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Michel Dattani
Michel Dattani

Portuguese poker professional Michel Dattani just tried a huge bluff, which ended up costing him his tournament life.

The hand started with Gordillo Caballero who raised to 12,000 and two players called among which the small blind. Dattani was seated in the big blind and he he three-bet to 42,000 and only Caballero made the call.

The flop brought out {3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Dattani bet 50,000, Caballero called. On the turn the {4-Diamonds} hit and Dattani fired out another 93,000 and once again his Spanish opponent called.

The river brought the {9-Hearts} and Dattani moved all in for 205,000. Caballero tanked for a long time but eventually he made the call to create an enormous pot. Dattani flashed {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Caballero slammed {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} on the table, as he had just made a huge call.

Dattani was knocked out and Caballero is now the chip leader.

Aces Do the Trick for Trisch

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We missed the preflop action, but we do know Richard Milne Snr got his sizable stack of 260,000 all in and was in the worst possible shape against Sebastian Trisch.

Milne: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Trisch: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Milne needed some major help, but he failed to find any on the {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{q-Spades} flop. The {10-Spades} turn actually delivered him a gutshot straight draw, but the {5-Hearts} river failed to complete it.

For more on Milne, who exited in 60th place, head on over to the PokerStars Blog.

The board ended up running out a low {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Carlsson was dispatched in 62nd place.
