Murphy Shows Aces In Four-Bet Pot

Level 10 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Peter Murphy raised to 2,700 from middle position and Brendan Hyland three-bet to 10,000. Murphy four-bet to 30,000 and Hyland went into the tank, looking across at his opponent, who was casually sipping a bottle of water.

"Will you show if I fold?", asked Hyland before making the fold.

Murphy did show, flipping over {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

Nitsche Triples His Hopes, [Removed:524] Wins Big Side Pot

Level 10 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

Elias Fisz raised from under the gun to 2,500 and received calls from [Removed:520] in middle position and Desmond O'Leary in the hijack. Dominik Nitsche was short in the cutoff and went all-in for his last 7,000 chips. The action folded back to [Removed:524] who called, as did O'Leary.

The duo checked the {5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop for the side pot before the {4-Diamonds} turn was put on the felt. [Removed:524] bet out 12,000, to which O'Leary responded by going all-in himself for 43,000 chips. Nameche called the rest off and all three players showed their hands.

Dominik Nitsche: {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Desmond O'Leary: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
[Removed:520]: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

[Removed:524] was on course to scoop the whole pot with his turned flush, but the {3-Diamonds} gave Nitsche the nuts. Nitsche tripled up, while [Removed:524] was not unhappy with the side pot.

O'Leary was the only one left without chips and had to leave the tournament area during the last level of the day.

Lim Stacks Up to Over 200,000 Chips

Level 10 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Russell Ming Yeow Lim raised from early position and was three-bet by Carl Shaw. The small blind came along and Lim also made the call.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and all three players checked. The turn was the {a-Spades} and action picked back up as Mansner led out for 15,000. Lim called, as did Shaw.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and Mansner led out again for 30,000. Lim eventually made the call and flipped over {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a pair of aces. He took down what was a huge pot and with that stacked up to become one of the tournament chip leaders.

Rohrbasser Catches Bluff Near End of Day

Level 10 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was a sum of roughly 75,000 chips in the middle on a completed board of {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Elliot Hackney from early position had put his opponent Daniel Rohrbasser on the button all-in for 50,300.

Rohrbasser was in doubt about whether to put his stack at risk this late on the day, but decided he could not let his hand go and put in a single chip signaling a call.

Hackney exclaimed that his opponent made the right call and tried to muck his hand, but was forced to show the {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} as it concerned an all-in situation. Rohrbasser had {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for the overpair and soared in the ranks just before the end of play.
