Papp Takes It Down With Turn Bet

Level 5 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Oisin Farrelly limped in from early position and Merivan Hassan raised to 1,000. Gabor Papp called, as did Farrelly.

Three players went to the flop, which came {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and all three players checked. The turn was the {6-Hearts} and action checked to Hassan, who bet 1,200. Papp made the call.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Papp bet out for 5,000, which was enough for Hassan to find the fold.

Lardner Hits Flush Against van den Berg's Aces to Double

Level 5 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Thierry van den Berg
Thierry van den Berg

Following a late position raise, Stephen Lardner called on the button and Thierry van den Berg reraised to 3,100 from the small blind. Lardner made the call and two players went to the flop.

The dealer turned over {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and van den Berg made a continuation bet of 2,500. Lardner shoved all in for 12,000 and van den Berg made the call.

"Aces against...?", said a neutral player at the table as players flipped over their cards.

Stephen Lardner: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Thierry van den Berg: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Van den Berg had pocket aces and Lardner had a flush draw and pair of fours. The turn came the {j-Spades} and the river was the {j-Clubs}, which completed Lardner's flush and gave him a much needed double up.

Johnson Busts Hartigan in Two Hands

Level 5 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

James Hartigan has been moved from the live streamed table, which now features Steve O'Dwyer's table, to an outer table but that has not worked out for him.

In the first hand, Mitch Johnson opened from early position, which Hartigan three-bet to 2,000 from the button. Johnson then responded with a four-bet to 5,300 after inquiring about Hartigan's stack and Hartigan called.

The flop came down {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Johnson continuation-bet for 2,800. Hartigan took one last peak at his cards before passing them to the dealer.

Johnson would bust Hartigan not much later when Johnson had a full house with {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} on {q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}. The rest of Hartigan's stack went in with {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for turned trips. The river was the {a-Clubs}, which resulted in Hartigan's exit. However, he speeded to the reentry desk to fire another bullet and is already playing on another table.

Cassidy Doubles His Short Stack With Flush

Level 4 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

James Cassidy shoved with a short stack and Joseph Saunders, also sitting on a short stack, pushed all in. All other players folded and two players flipped their cards, with Cassidy at risk.

James Cassidy: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Joseph Saunders: {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{a-Clubs}. Cassidy had a flush draw on the flop and completed it on the turn to win himself the double up and survive.

Mooney Eliminated In Three-Way All in

Level 4 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
John Mooney
John Mooney

In what would become an action packed pot, Christopher Day raised from under the gun to 600 and was called by Farid Fawzi. Ian Marmion reraised to 2,100 and John Mooney called on the button. Day four-bet to 6,000, Fawzi folded and Marmion shoved all in. Mooney also pushed all his chips into the middle and Day made the call.

Three players flipped their cards, with both Mooney and Marmion at risk.

John Mooney: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Ian Marmion: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Christopher Day: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

"At least I'm live," said Mooney.

"You're far too live," replied Day.

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The ace on the flop gave both Marmion and Day top pair and left Mooney drawing thin. He failed to improve and was eliminated from the tournament. Marmion and Day chopped up his stack and Mooney left the table.

Three Bets, No Pairs

Level 4 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Ian Simpson
Ian Simpson

Bram Berkvens opened to 600 from middle position and the action folded to Ian Simpson in the small blind. He put in the three-bet to 2,400 and Berkvens called after pondering his options for a while.

The flop of {2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts} saw Simpson continuation-bet for 1,700, which Berkvens called as well.

The turn {8-Diamonds} and river {6-Diamonds} saw no further betting as both players checked it down. Simpson showed {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and the ace-high was good enough to win this relatively small pot.

Slater Does Not Like His Kings

Level 4 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Christian Malm opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 600. Joseph Gibson and Colette Murphy called from middle position and the hijack respectively, before small blind Tim Slater made it 4,000 to go. Only Gibson made the call and the two were off to the flop.

{a-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} was said flop and Slater continuation-bet for 3,500. Gibson piled in 19,000 of his chips in response, only leaving 1,500 back. Slater instantly threw his {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} face-up towards the middle of the table, frustratedly remarking that he did not even have the king of spades for a flush draw.

Janik Pairs River to Eliminate Bennett-Martin

Level 4 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Elizabeth Bennett-Martin
Elizabeth Bennett-Martin

Action folded around to Frederik Janik, who shoved from the small blind. Elizabeth Bennett-Martin called in the big blind. Both players were short stacked but it was Bennett-Martin who was at risk.

Elizabeth Bennett-Martin: {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Frederik Janik: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. It looked as though players were set for a chopped pot until Janik hit a pair of threes on the river to take the chips and eliminate Bennett-Martin from the tournament.
