Flannery Wins With Quads; Ahuja Runs in Ultimate Cooler

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Ankit Ahuja
Ankit Ahuja

The action was caught on a completed board of K6526. Atte Franssila checked in the cutoff to Alan Flannery on the button, who fired 12,000 into the already sizable pot of 15,000.

Flannery took some time, then tossed in a calling chip. Flannery showed 66 for four sixes, and Franssila could only muck his cards in defeat.

Some time earlier at this table, Ankit Ahuja got his pocket kings in against the pocket aces of Thomas Venet, and busted when the board failed to improve him.

Walden Cracks Slow Played Kings

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

In the final hand of the previous level, Jamie Walden opened to 600 from the cutoff, and Valerio Secchiaroli called, defending his big blind.

Seeing a 102A flop, Walden continued for 800, and Secchiaroli check-called.

The action checked through on the 7 turn, and the dealer completed the board with the A.

Secchiaroli opted to lead out, to the tune of 2,100. Walden quickly called, and upon seeing the KK of Secchiaroli, he flipped over A5 to scoop the pot.

Black Gets Counterfeited

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Andy Black
Andy Black

Nathan Drummond raised to 800 under the gun, which received a call from the player in the hijack and Andy Black on the button.

The action checked to Black on the J109 flop, who bet 1,700. Drummond called, but the other player got out of the way.

Drummond check-called for a second time on the 7 turn, this time a bet of 2,000.

Both players then checked the board-pairing J river.

"I got counterfeited on the river", Black said.

That prompted Drummond to flip over KK, which was good enough to claim the pot.

Some Upstairs Action

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

With the main hall of the Royal Dublin Society filled to the brim, extra tables have been put on the upstairs balcony. On one of those tables, Jesse Kertland had raised in middle position before he called button Daniel Vasser's three-bet to 2,500.

Vasser then bet 2,500 on the 8J7 flop and 10,100 on the 4 turn, both times being check-called by Kertland. The 6 river was checked to showdown, where Vasser's QQ raked in the pot.

At an adjacent table, Hong Pham checked the 93A102 river from the hijack to Nils Ingebrigtsen in the cutoff. Ingebrigtsen then pushed in a massive shove of 36,500 into the pot of 27,000, sending Pham deep into the tank.

The clock was called on Pham after several minutes, and she folded her hand during the final moments of her 30-second countdown.

Duthie Shows Down the Winner

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
John Duthie
John Duthie

Alan Gilmore kicked off the action with a raise to 700 from under the gun. When play folded to John Duthie in the cutoff, he three-bet to 2,200. The players in between folded, and Gilmore called.

Both players checked on the 36J flop, prompting Gilmore to lead out for 2,600 on the 9 turn, which Duthie called.

The A river slowed the action, as both players checked.

Gilmore revealed 108, which was unable to beat Duthie's K9.

Wilson Wins Four-Bet Pot

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Simon Wilson
Simon Wilson

Loic Francois had opened from the hijack when defending champion Simon Wilson three-bet to 4,400 from the big blind. Francois clicked it back to 10,500, and Wilson flicked in a call.

Francois continued for 5,500 on the 3JA flop. Wilson check-called before both players checked the 6 turn. Wilson took some time before announcing a bet of 16,000 on the 9 river.

Francois eventually found a fold, eliciting a smile from Wilson. Wilson then allowed Francois to table one of his cards, and Francois picked the K.
