Eminoglu folded and Whitehead made the call. The turn was the {2-Hearts} and Ashby bet 325,000 and after giving it some thought, Whitehead folded.

G D Eliminated in 13th Place (£4,750)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

G D had a bet of 76,000 in front of him in the small blind while Richard Ashby had moved all in for around 580,000 in the big blind.

"I think you are trying to steal," said G D.

"What do you have?" asked Ashby as his opponent pondered their decision.

"I have a suited ace," came the reply.

"I'm in very bad shape," said Ashby.

Eventually G D called with {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} but Ashby rolled over {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The flop {q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} had a queen, but the turn {10-Diamonds} and river {2-Hearts} bricked and Ashby scooped a massive pot to move among the chip leaders.

Tai Hoang Eliminated in 14th Place (£4,400)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Tai Hoang
Tai Hoang

Tai Hoang was all in and at risk for his last 118,000 with {j-Clubs}{10-Spades} and was up against the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} of Richard Ashby.

The flop {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades} was as eye-catching as it was unhelpful to Hoang. The turn {8-Diamonds} did give him a gutshot straight draw, but the river {k-Clubs} only improved Ashby and Hoang was sent to the rail.
