Hill Doubles Through Marshall

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

Neil Marshall moved all in and after some hemming and hawing, James Hill Made the call, putting himself at risk.

James Hill: {6-Spades}{9-Spades}
Neil Marshall: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

"Ok any six any nine, we got this," Hill said.

And just like that the board ran out {k-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} to pair his six and give him the pot.

"The dream's alive boys!" he yelled. "Thanks for the double up, mate," he said to Marshall.

"My pleasure," Marshall replied dryly, which got some laughs from the table.

Roe Cracks Southern's Kings

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

Cards were on their backs with David Roe at risk holding {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} against the {k-Spades}{k-Spades} of Stuart Southern.

Roe was covered by just 300,000 chips, but spiked a jack on the {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop to move ahead. The turn {a-Diamonds} and river {7-Spades} changed nothing, leaving Southern with half a big blind.

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.

Stuart Southern

Having been down to as little as half a big blind, Stuart Southern has doubled yet again this time through Saied Yolmeh.

Southern shoved for 4,000,000 with {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Yolmeh called with {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

The {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts} runout changed nothing and Southern's ascent continued, moving up to 9,000,000 in chips.

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.

David Roe opened to 1,600,000 in late position but was then three-bet by Kyle Jeffrey to 4,000,000.

Both players checked through to the turn {2-Hearts} and the action went check-check again.

On the river {2-Diamonds}. Roe checked once more, but then Jeffrey bet 3,650,000 and Roe folded to award Jeffrey the pot.
