Peter Norton Eliminated in 9th Place (£14,630)

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Peter Norton
Peter Norton

Peter Norton shoved from under the gun with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for 15,000,000. It folded to Luke Cheslin in the big blind who folded {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

On the next hand, Charlie Tarimo raised to 2,500,000 in the hijack and Peter Norton three-bet all in for 17,000,000 from the big blind. Tarimo called.

Peter Norton: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Charlie Tarimo: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Norton would need his pocket pair to hold, but the {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} runout saw Tarimo spike a queen and send Norton to the rail as the first casualty at the Goliath X final table.

Balan Vasilica Eliminated in 10th Place (£11,950)

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Balan Vasalica
Balan Vasalica

After Balan Vasilica limped with {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, David Reed raised to 14,000,000 with {a-Spades}{9-Clubs} to cover him, and Vasilica decided to make the call and himself at risk.

After a flop of {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, it was not looking good for Vasilica and the turn {6-Spades} left him drawing dead. The meaningless {3-Hearts} on the river completed the board and Vasilica was eliminated in 10th place which means it is down to the final table.

Jade Walker Eliminated in 11th Place (£11,950)

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Jade Walker
Jade Walker

Jade Walker moved all in from under the gun and was snap-called by Georgian Georgescu, putting Walker at risk.

Jade Walker: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Georgian Georgescu: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Walker looked like the wind had been taken out of her when she realized what she was up against, and the runout did not help her with a {5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs} board. Walker was eliminated in 11th place for a payout of £11,950.

David Roe
David Roe

David Roe was all in for 11,000,000 and was covered by just 100,000 by Gareth Cresswell.

David Roe: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Gareth Cresswell: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Jacks would need to hold to keep Roe's hopes of winning the Goliath alive, but the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs} runout was not what he wanted, giving Cresswell two pair and sending Roe to the rail.

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Sean Hopkin
Sean Hopkin

David Roe opened to 2,500,000 and Sean Hopkin moved all in for slightly less. Georgian Georgescu made the call behind and the three players saw the flop with heads-up action on the side.

The flop was {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and both players checked.

The turn came the {k-Hearts} and Georgescu bet 2,000,000 and Roe folded, and the cards were tabled.

Georgian Georgescu showed {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a flopped full house, which left Sean Hopkin and his {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} drawing dead.

The meaningless {7-Clubs} completed the board and Hopkin was eliminated in 13th place for a payout of £10,360.

Sean Quinn shoved from early position for around 5,000,000.

Balan Vasilica tank-folded {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} in the small blind, but Quinn was called by Young Seo Yoon in the big blind.

Quads Helps Vasilica Double Up

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Balan Vasilica
Balan Vasilica

Balan Vasilica was all in for 2,000,000 and had been called by Sean Quinn.

Balan Vasilica: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Sean Quinn: {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

The {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} was eye-catching, but it was enough for Vasilica to double up.

A short while later a shove from Vasilica would get through as he stayed alive, albeit as the short stack at the feature table.

Stuart Southern: {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Young Seo Yoon: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Southern was dominated, but flopped a gutshot on {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. The turn {2-Spades} and river {7-Diamonds} didn't help him and he was eliminated.

Cheslin Eliminates Jurca; Down to Two Tables

Level 36 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Alexandru Jurca
Alexandru Jurca

Luke Cheslin had the chance to bring the Goliath X Main Event to two tables with Alexandru Jurca all in for 6,000,000.

Alexandru Jurca: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Luke Cheslin: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

There was a ten on the flop, but the {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{j-Clubs} only improved Cheslin to a straight and Jurca was eliminated.

Players are now redrawing around two tables. PokerNews tournament delays will now be on a 30-minute delay alongside the official Grosvenor stream.

Marshall and Hill Eliminated by Yolmeh in Double Knockout

Level 36 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Saied Yolmeh
Saied Yolmeh

Neil Marshall moved all in from early position for 3,050,000 and James Hill moved all in for less for 1,400,000. Action was then on Saied Yolmeh, who asked for a count. After some back and forth with the dealer, he made the call, putting the other two at risk as the cards were tabled.

James Hill: {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Neil Marshall: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Saied Yolmeh: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

"Wow was that a slow roll, mate?" Marshall questioned Yolmeh, which got some sounds of agreement from the onlookers.

"No no I didn't look at my cards until after the count," Yolmeh protested, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears.

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} which meant Yolmeh held with his pocket queens, eliminating both Hill and Marshall.

Meanwhile, Stuart Southern, after been down to less than a big blind, had chipped back up to 3,000,000.
