Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Steve Jelinek limped in the small blind and Kieran Bell checked his big blind.

The pair checked the flop and Jelinek bet 8,000 on the turn.

Bell called and the pair checked the river. Bell tabled but Jelinek had it beat with for a pair of eights.

A short while later, we spotted Bell getting to his feet having been eliminated by Jelinek. The former GUKPT Coventry champion held on a board for a flush.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The under-the-gun player limped and Omar Ghefur raised all in for 172,000 on the first hand of the day.

It folded to William Ritchie who three-bet all in for around 350,000. The limper folded and cards were turned over.

It was a huge confrontation early on Day 2 with Ghefur looking good for a double.

The board ran out giving both players quads. However, Ghefur's ace kicker played and he doubled up.
