G. A.: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Mitchell was on the verge of another exit after the {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop but the {k-Spades} turn catapulted her into the lead. The {8-Diamonds} river sealed the pot and the double-up.

Lodge Put to the Test

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante
Harry Lodge
Harry Lodge

With 15,000 in the middle with the board showing {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, Harry Lodge checked in early position before Gary Miller bet 23,000.

Lodge only had 17,000 behind and after a moment, slid his chips across the calling line.

Harry Lodge: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Gary Miller: {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Lodge was ahead but would have to dodge a plethora of outs on the river. The dealer put the {4-Diamonds} on the table for Lodge to hold.

On the opposite table, both Sebastien Jung and Grosvenor Poker Pro Richard Trigg were seen leaving the tournament.

Sweeney Turns Hardcastle

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante

Jack Hardcastle opened to 1,700 from the cutoff with only Peter Sweeney calling from the big blind.

Sweeney check-called a bet of 1,600 on the {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. Sweeney did the same on the {10-Hearts} turn after Hardcastle continued firing for 6,500.

Action checked through on the {9-Hearts} river with Hardcastle tabling {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. Sweeney had the best of it with his {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, which was good for two pair.

Dream Spot for Law

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante
Chun Law
Chun Law

Chun Law, who is on his second bullet, opened to 1,600 from middle position before Justin Tsui three-bet to 5,200 from the hijack. Jan Svec then jammed for 33,000 from the small blind, Law put in the remainder of his stack and Tsui called, covering both players.

Chun Law: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Jan Svec: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Justin Tsui: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The pocket kings were hardly troubled as the board ran out with the {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Hearts} for Law to triple up and Tsui to bust out Svec for the side pot.
