Stewart Morrison

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

First to act, Marty Smyth opened to 5,000. The small blind and Roope Tarmi in the big blind called.

When checked to, Smyth continued for 12,000 on the Q♥10♠7♣ flop. That was enough to remove the small blind from the equation, but Tarmi stuck around.

The dealer added the 6♣ to the board, and Tarmi checked once again. Smyth put a sizeable 25,000 into the middle, only to see Tarmi check-raise all in.

Smyth immediately folded, abandoning his chips in the middle.

Hulme continued for 6,000 on the K♥2♥10♠ flop, which Board called before Ruijs folded.

After using one time extension, Hulme opted to check the 9♠ river.

Broad flipped over A♥7♥, which was an inferior ace-high compared to the A♠J♥ of Hulme.

Level 8 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Conor Bergin raised to 3,500 from under the gun, which Joris Ruijs called in the hijack, and the big blind player joined in too.

Action then checked to Ruijs on the 4♠Q♥5♦ flop, who bet 4,000. The big blind folded, but Bergin stuck around.

After a second check from Bergin on the 5♣ turn, Ruijs put a more substantial 21,000 into the middle. This was enough to see Bergin relinquish his cards, and Ruijs claim the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Andrew Hulme raised to 3,500 in early position, which gathered calls from Conor Bergin in the cutoff and both Kenneth Broad and Joris Ruijs in the blinds.

The action checked through on the 7♥9♥10♠ flop, before checking over to Bergin once again on the Q♦ turn. Bergin put 7,500 into the middle, which both Broad and Ruijs called, before Hulme got out of the way.

The Q♥ river saw the three players each check again. Broad tabled 9♣8♦, which Ruijs had beaten with his K♥10♣. Unable to beat that, Bergin mucked his hand.
