Davenport Soaring After Liperis Elimination

Level 7 : 200/500, 500 ante
Matthew Davenport
Matthew Davenport

Yiannis Liperis had opened and Mitchell Hynam had three-bet to 3,300. Matthew Davenport flat-called and Liperis four-bet all in for 22,000. Hynam folded and Davenport quickly called.

Yiannis Liperis: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Matthew Davenport: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Spades} flop gave Liperis a flush draw, but the {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} runout bricked and Davenport's full house sent his opponent to the rail.

Jones Picks Off The Bluff

Level 7 : 200/500, 500 ante
Donald Jones
Donald Jones

There was only 6,000 chips in the middle, but that didn't stop a confrontation between Donald Jones and one other opponent.

The board was {a-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and it had checked to Jones who bet 4,000. His opponent check-raised to 20,000 and Jones took his time before calling.

"You win," said his opponent. "I play the board." They showed {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}

Jones showed {8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a full house, fours full of aces, and won the pot.

Level 7 : 200/500, 500 ante

After Jamie Walden opened pre-flop, he got calls from Tom Bacon as well as Lucas Charles-Alexander in the big blind.

It checked to Walden on the {8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop and he continued for 2,000. Bacon raised all in for 8,800 and after contemplating his decision, Charles-Alexander called. Walden mucked.

Tom Bacon: [adc]
Lucas Charles-Alexander: {q-Spades}{6-Spades}

Bacon was looking to stay alive, but the {6-Diamonds} turn improved his opponent to two pair, and he was eliminated after the {5-Hearts} came on the river.

Taberham Cracks Jacks to Double Up

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

Wendy Watson raised to 1,000 from under the gun and got calls from Donald Jones and Nicholas Wilkinson. Simon Taberham was in the big blind and three-bet all in for 18,000.

Watson took her time, but eventually folded, as did Jones. Wilkinson asked for a count before calling.

Simon Taberham: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Nicholas Wilkinson: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

"I was trying to get through those two," said Taberham, "Not you!"

The flop {10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades} gave Taberham the lead, however, and he held on the {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} runout. After the hand, Watson revealed that she had folded {a-Spades}{k-Spades}, saying "It's a jamming hand not a calling hand."

Meanwhile Jones added that he had folded {a-}{10-}.

"Good Poker, Nice Hand"

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

On a {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, Donald Jones called 37,000 from early position against an opponent in the blinds. The turn was the {k-Diamonds} and this time it checked to Jones who bet 6,500.

His opponent check-raised all in and Jones snap-folded. His opponent's hand {5-Clubs}{6-Hearts} was exposed and they took down the pot.

"You re-raise preflop," mused Jones aloud. "C-bet and then check-raise all in. Good poker, nice hand."
