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.

Charlton Scores Big Double from Cresswell

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

Under-the-gun Gareth Cresswell moved all in for around 14,500,000 and was called by Charlton Tarimo on the button. The blinds folded and the cards were tabled, with Tarimo at risk.

Charlton Tarimo: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Gareth Cresswell: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Heavily dominated, Cresswell needed a nine to win, but the runout of {j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Spades} did not provide and Tarimo scored a massive double up.

Cresswell was left with just 1,350,000 but was able to double through Tarimo on the very next hand
