Brackley Triples Up

Level 7 : 200/500, 500 ante

Peter Brackley, Iaron Lightbourne and Connor Heelis found themselves all-in preflop with Lightbourne covering his two opponents.

Peter Brackley: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Connor Heelis: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Iaron Lightbourne: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Heelis' pocket jacks were still in the lead on the {8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop however, Brackley spiked the {k-Clubs} turn. The {10-Spades} completed the board to give Brackley the main pot while Heelis took the side pot.

2018 WSOP Main Event 9th-place finisher Antoine Labat also just joined the table as the hand played out.

Labat and Gardner Vanquished

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante
Antoine Labat
Antoine Labat

Antoine Labat moved all-in for his last 2,000 from middle positon. Conor Heelis made it 5,000 from the cutoff before Alan Carr moved all-in for just over 25,000. Heelis folded and Labat was at risk of busting the Main Event.

Antoine Labat: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Alan Carr: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Labat found hope on the {k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop, the {2-Hearts} turn was a safe card but Carr paired up on the {a-Diamonds} river to scoop the pot.

As Labat made his exit, so did Mark Gardner. He was all-in against Yudhishter Jaswal who had flopped a three-of-a-kind with his {6-Spades}{5-Spades}. Gardner did not show his cards and left the tournament area.

Dyer Doubles Up Jung

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

Gary Miller opened to 1,400 from middle position and was called by Eamonn Dyer from the cutoff. Sebastien Jung then moved all-in for 10,000. Miller folded.

Dyer then began speaking to his table mate, "do you want a double up?"

"I don't know," Jung replied.

Dyer flicked in a chip to call anyway.

Sebastien Jung: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Eamonn Dyer: {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Jung paired up on the {j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop. He also picked up a flush draw on the {6-Diamonds}, which also gave Dyer an inferior pair. The {k-Clubs} river was a safe card for the at-risk player and Jung scooped a pot to put him above starting stack.

Julien Sitbon

Julien Sitbon moved all-in for around 10,000 from the hijack and was called by Connor Heelis on the button.

Julien Sitbon: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Connor Heelis: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Sitbon and Heelis paired their aces on the {a-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop. Sitbon had the better kicker but Heelis picked up a wheel-draw. The {10-Diamonds} turn left Heelis with just four outs and he was unable to secure the elimination following the {9-Diamonds} river.
