Xian Secretively Folds Jacks

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Neil O'Reilly raised to 2,500 from under the gun and Shean Xian three-bet to 6,000 from the next seat over. The action then folded to Leigh Wiltshire in the small blind, who made it 21,000 to go.

O'Reilly quickly folded, and Xian followed suit after asking what his opponent had behind. Xian showed PokerNews JJ before they disappeared into the muck, making his table mates wonder what he had folded.

Niciforo Hits Duck on River

Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Mario Niciforo got his stack of 30,600 all in preflop and was at risk against Mark Roovers.

Mario Niciforo: 22
Mark Roovers: AK

Roovers shot ahead on the 810A flop, and the J turn brought no help for Niciforo. However, the 2 river saw Niciforo hit one of his two outs, and his set doubled him up to an average stack.

Boyce Hits Draw in Monster Pot

Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A modest amount of 12,000 chips was in the middle in a pot between Miguel Goncalo in the cutoff and Oliver Boyce in the small blind. However, after the action had concluded on the 7QA flop, all the chips went into the middle, with Goncalo's 48,000 chips at risk.

Miguel Goncalo: AQ All in
Oliver Boyce: J8

Goncalo faded a heart on the 5 turn, and he asked for a non-heart three on the river. However, the 10 appeared instead, much to the frustration of Goncalo, who let out some expletives before leaving the tournament area.

Meanwhile, Boyce chipped up to a six-figure stack to be among the leaders in the room.

Roovers Puts Pressure on Mahonen

Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Mark Roovers
Mark Roovers

Mark Roovers raised to 2,000 from early position and Jari Mahonen called in the small blind. Mario Nicoforo defended the big blind and the three went off to a flop of JA2, which got checked through.

Mahonen then fired 2,500 on the 7 turn, which only Roovers called. On the 7 river, Mahonen sized up to 7,500, but Roovers upped the ante even more with a raise to 22,400.

Mahonen spent some time in the tank before forfeiting his cards and thus the pot to Roovers.

Three-Way All-In Triples L'Huillier, Busts Romanovs

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On a flop of 6J5, with 16,000 chips in the middle, Raitis Romanovs made a bet from the big blind. Thomas Garment called in middle position before Jean L'Huillier jammed all in for 22,000 in the hijack.

Romanovs then rejammed for 43,500, and Garment made the call to put them both at risk.

Jean L'Huillier: A10 All in
Raitis Romanovs: QQ All in
Thomas Garment: 66

Garment's set remained ahead when the turn fell the 10, but the 4 river gave L'Huillier a flush to triple up. Meanwhile, Romanovs lost the side pot and was eliminated by Garment as a consequence.
