Set Over Set Ends Sheils' Tournament

Tim Baker

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Brandon Sheils got his last 400,000 into the middle preflop with Daniel Rezaei the player to put him at risk of elimination,

Brandon Sheils: 10♠10♦ All in
Daniel Rezaei: K♦K♣

Sheils asked the dealer for "a ten ball, corner pocket," which the dealer delivered as the window card was the 10♥. The only problem for Sheils was that it was closely followed by the K♠2♥ to complete the flop, giving both players a set. The dealer didn't comply with Sheils' second request for a ten as the rest of the board ran out 2♣5♠. Both players hit a full house, but Rezaei's kings-full-of-deuces was the best hand and Sheils was sent to the showers.

Tomasz Chmiel started the action by open-jamming for his remaining stack of around 450,000 chips from middle position. Daniel Rezaei called from the hijack and players flipped their hands.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Cherish Andrews opened under the gun to 120,000 with only Grzegorz Kozieja calling out of the small blind.

After it checked to Andrews on the J♦4♣2♣ flop, she fired out a bet of 75,000. Kozieja check-raised to 425,000, which Andrews called.

Kozieja chose to check upon seeing the 6♦ come on the turn. Andrews bet 350,000 and after around a minute, Kozieja check-shoved for Andrews' remaining 1,700,000. Andrews didn't take long to fold her hand and Kozieja took down the pot.

The 8♠ river brough in the straight draw for Kosh, but the 10♦ river, secured Pu his double.
