Dream Turn Doubles Verheij

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was caught as Danny Verheij's 25,500 remaining chips were counted on the completed A967K board.

He had tabled 77 for a set of sevens, winning the 75,000 in the middle as well as doubling his remaining stack when Anthony Harrison revealed AK for top two pair.

Verheij doubled up to an above-average stack, while Harrison dipped back down to a startick stack.

Big Stacks Battle on Table 6

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Dan Samson
Dan Samson

Kees van Brugge opened to 6,000 in middle position, getting called by Dan Samson in the hijack and Moya Murphy in the big blind.

"The two biggest stacks at the table," Murphy noted.

"The three biggest stacks," Samson corrected her as the 845 flop was checked to him.

He then bet 12,000, receiving calls from both opponents. The trio checked through the 2 turn, after which Murphy and Van Brugge both checked the 6 river as well.

Samson piled in a bet of 30,000, quickly folding out Murphy. Van Brugge spent some time in the tank, however. Eventually, the clock was called on him. Van Brugge let his hand go near the end of his 30-second countdown, surrendering the pot.

"I nearly called," Murphy said as Samson dragged the pot.

"I almost called with queen-high," Van Brugge admitted.

"Queen-high? What do you put me on to call with queen-high?" a bewildered Samson asked his opponent.

"Ten-high," Van Brugge dryly replied.

Costigan Calls Clock on Morel

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Arriving on the 7K483 river with around 80,000 in the pot, Alexis Morel checked from the cutoff to Niall Costigan on the button, who put in a bet of 33,500.

Morel went deep into the tank. After a few minutes, Costigan had seen enough and called the clock on his opponent.

Morel was given a 30-second countdown. In the final few seconds, he slammed in a call worth about half his remaining chips.

Costigan tabled KJ for top pair, winning the pot as Morel flung his cards into the muck in frustration.

Ivan Tononi
Ivan Tononi

Ivan Tononi had three-bet from the button preflop, and Ross Miller had called in the hijack, leading to a pot of roughly 35,000 in the middle.

Tononi then continued for 8,000 on the 10108 flop, which Miller check-called. The 4 turn was then checked through to the K river. Miller checked again, prompting Tononi to place a bet of 30,000.

Miller spent some time in the tank before he announced a call. Tononi tabled AA, and Miller paid his opponent what he owed.

Late-Night Eliminations

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mullen Makes Most of Big Slick

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Luca Bartoli had gone all in preflop from the hijack, battling for a main pot of 60,000. Samuel Butler under the gun and Joseph Mullen on the button then created a side pot of 50,000, and the KK7 flop was dealt.

Butler check-called Mullen's bet of 15,000, and did so too when Mullen doubled his sizing to 30,000 on the 6 turn.

Mullen then shoved all in on the 6 river, but Butler quickly check-folded. Mullen tabled AK for a full house, sending Bartoli out with his AQ.

Butler was left with about 20 big blinds, which he lost the next hand to be eliminated.
