Peters Doubles Through Mateos

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Adrian Mateos - David Peters
Adrian Mateos - David Peters

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 24,000 on the button and Adrian Mateos shoved for around 270,000 in the small blind. David Peters decided to do the same from the big blind with the shorter stack of 180,000. O'Dwyer quickly folded to let them battle it out.

David Peters: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Adrian Mateos: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{x-Spades} to not change the situation and keep Mateos ahead.

The turn was the {q-Clubs}, to now give Peters the straight and flush draw.

The river completed the board with the {a-Hearts} to give Peters top two pair to stay alive.

Peters Loses Chunk to Simao

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The board read {j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs} with around 70,000 in the middle already.

David Peters had checked in the small blind and Joao Simao bet 60,000 from under the gun which Peters called.

The river completed the board with the {j-Spades}, Peters checked for the last time and now Simao bet 150,000. Peters tanked and then flicked in a chip for the call but mucked when Simao tabled {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for the full house. While paying the 150,000 Peters also handed in a time bank card for the dealer.

Jean-Noel Thorel

Joao Simao raised from early position and was called by Steve O'Dwyer in the cutoff and Jean-Noel Thorel in the big blind.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, both Thorel and Simao checked. O'Dwyer bet 42,000 and only Thorel called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and now Thorel shoved for his last 62,000 which O'Dywer snap-called.

Jean-Noel Thorel: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Steve O'Dwyer: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Thorel had flopped top pair and was drawing dead against the set O'Dwyer had turned.

With eight players left and seven getting paid, the bubble has come.
