Beresford Gets Trolled on His Way Out
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Conor Beresford was down to around a starting stack and got the last of his chips in the middle against the chip leader Samy Boujmala. Beresford flipped over pocket sixes but was well behind the pocket kings of Boujmala.
Beresford started making his way to the exit before a king-high flop hit the felt. Parker Talbot, sitting at the table next door, started to shout at Beresford.
"Hey, you went running sixes! Get back here!" The rest of the table played along and Beresford returned to the table to find out in fact he had been eliminated and many players burst into laughter.

Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Alec Torelli raised to 3,500 in middle position and picked up three callers along the way. The flop came 8♥5♦2♥ and the action checked to Ian Hamilton on the button who bet 6,500. The big blind called and Torelli check-raised to 21,500. Hamilton called and the big blind got out of the way.
The turn brought the 9♦ and Torelli shipped all in for 76,000. Hamilton gave it some thought with his stack of 54,000 and opted to make the call. Torelli flipped over K♣K♦ for the best hand but Hamilton had plenty of outs with 8♦7♦.
The river was the K♥ and Torelli improved to a set of kings to end Hamilton's tournament run.

Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu was one of the late entries to start Day 2 with a stack of 30,000 chips. However, in less than an hour, he has managed to build up an above-average stack. Kisacikoglu opened to 3,500 in early position and Sokratis Linares three-bet to 11,000 on the button. Kisacikoglu called and the dealer spread the J♠J♦4♥ flop.
Kisacikoglu check-called a bet of 10,000 from Linares and the 10♠ rolled off on the turn. Kisacikoglu checked again and Linares shoved all in for 20,000. Kisacikoglu thought for a minute before dropping in the call.
Linares tabled A♥9♦ for just ace-high while Kisacikoglu was out front with 9♥9♣. The river was the Q♠ and Linares was ousted in the first level of the day.
