Haxton Holds on to the Chip Lead

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The board read {3-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Isaac Haxton had just checked in the hijack. Bryn Kenney bet 26,000 from the cutoff and Ivan Leow folded on the button after contemplating his options for a while. Haxton called.

The river completed the board with the {j-Hearts}, Haxton checked and Kenney barreled a bet of 67,000 over the line. Haxton took a few seconds before making the call. Kenney tabled {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the pair of aces but was behind against Haxton's {a-Spades}{3-Spades} who had flopped two pair.

Greenwood Scores Big Double Through Cortes

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Luc Greenwood
Luc Greenwood

Wiktor Malinowski opened to 8,000 and got calls from Luc Greenwood in middle position and Ahadpur Khangah in the small blind. Jesus Cortes then three-bet to 48,000 in the big blind. Malinowski folded and Greenwood four-bet to 125,000.

Khangah folded and Cortes used a time extension before five-betting all in. Greenwood called for 390,000.

Luc Greenwood: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Jesus Cortes: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The board came {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Greenwood's double left Cortes short.

"Did you think you opened," Carrel asked Greenwood who nodded sheepishly.

"You're welcome," said Malinowski. "The poker gods!"

"Play bad, run good," replied Greenwood.

Third Bullet Going Better for Thorel

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The board read {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{3-Spades} with 174,500 in the middle already.

Michael Addamo had checked in the big blind and Jean-Noel Thorel shoved on the button which seemed to pain Addamo to no end. The rest of the table smiled as Thorel had only just sat down. After using a time bank card, Addamo made the call.

Thorel tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the pair of jacks with the ten-kicker. Addamo turned around {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the same pair of jacks but with the lower kicker.

The table all laughed while Addamo shook his head.

The river completed the board with the {6-Diamonds} for Thorel to double up immediately before the players were all sent for another 20-minute break.

Carrel Doubles Through Cortes

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} river Jesus Cortes had bet enough to put his opponent Charlie Carrel all in.

Carrel, who finished fourth in the €10,000 High Roller, had 171,500 behind.

"I think my hand's too good to fold," said Carrel who tanked for a short while before calling.

Cortes showed {8-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a couple of missed straight draws, and Carrel took down the pot with {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} for an overpair.
