Thivyanathan Binks River

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Tamer Kamel was in a heads-up pot against Aaron Thivyanathan on a board of {q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts} with around 17,000 already in the middle.

Thivyanathan put out a pot-sized river bet and Kamel thought for a few seconds and called. Thivyanathan tabled {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a rivered set, which brought a wince from Kamel as he showed the table he had {a-}{q-} for a no good top two pair.

Chuttani Soars into Chip Lead

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A hand was in progress between Ramin Hajiyev and Sahil Chuttani that had amassed close to 80,000 chips in the pot. The full board of {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds} was out and Hajiyev had checked to Chuttani.

Chuttani moved all in for over 50,000, covering Hajiyev who took his time, pausing his music and cracking his knuckles as he contemplated the decision.

He eventually called and Chuttani flipped over {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a flopped set. Hajiyev's hand {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} was turned over and he was eliminated.

After the hand, tablemate Aaron Duczak informed us that Hajiyev had check-called on all three streets.

One-Outer for Talbot to Stay Alive

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Parker Talbot
Parker Talbot

Parker Talbot was loudly celebrating a double-up, and explained to PokerNews that he'd hit a one-outer.

After Lawrence Bayley raised to 2,400 from the small blind, Talbot had three-bet all in for 17,500 from the big blind. Bayley called with {k-}{q-} against the {2-}{2-} of Talbot.

A queen on the flop gave Bayley a pair, but a {2-} on the river saw Talbot stay alive. According to tablemate Ambreen Mirza, she had folded the last two meaning that Talbot had hit a one-outer to stay alive.

"Make sure you put it in that the play was terrible," said Bayley light-heartedly.

Another player at the table was Dominik Nitsche.

"Make sure you also include that I agree with Parker [Talbot] that the play was terrible," added Nitsche, and the table laughed.

While that event wrapped up earlier on, the £5,300 EPT London Main Event is still in full swing, with Day 1b currently playing out.

There have been some crazy hands and notable eliminations, so check out the recap of the action so far from Day 1b!

Ullereng Almost Gets Aces Cracked, Ends Up With Aces Full

Mats Ullereng
Mats Ullereng

There was a rollercoaster runout for the ages at Table 32 after Mats Ullereng got his stack of 40,900 in from the small blind against Wayne Heung on the button, who had him covered.

Mats Ullereng: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Wayne Heung: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The preflop cooler became a real sweat when the flop landed {9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to give Heung a flush draw. Ullereng let out a sigh as the {a-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn to give his opponent the lead with a flush but also leaving him hope with a set.

The whole table was left silent when the dealer then peeled off the {j-Hearts} on the river to give Ullereng a full house to double up. Heung, who looked defeated after likely experiencing a variety of motions throughout the hand, was left short and was eliminated a few hands later.
