Sweeney Out-Flushes Dejonghe

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Lander Dejonghe had open-raised to 24,000 preflop and Dylan Sweeney made the call from the big blind. The Q79 flop was then dealt and Dejonghe continued for 25,000.

Sweeney came out with a check-raise to 82,000, after which Dejonghe shoved for 305,000. Sweeney asked for a count but made the call before it could be completed to put his opponent at risk.

Lander Dejonghe: 98
Dylan Sweeney: KJ

Dejonghe was ahead with his pair of nines, but the 2 turn had him drawing dead. The 10 river gave Sweeney a straight in addition to his flush, and Dejonghe's lesser flush was added to the muck.

A huge pot for Sweeney, who ended up with roughly double the average stack.

Hang Busts Dooley

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Huy Hang
Huy Hang

Stacks were already in the middle and cards on their back as Shaun Dooley was all-in and at risk versus Huy Hang.

Shaun Dooley: A10
Huy Hang: 99

Dooley needed some help and thought he had received it after the 6104 flop put him into the lead with a pair of tens.

However the 9 turn left Dooley drawing dead after Hang hit his set, rendering the A river irrelevant.

Ollie Clark: K10
Robert McDowell: 99
Francis Onwuka: KQ

McDowell was the only one to make a full house on the 6566A board, securing his double-up and sending Clark to the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Neil O'Reilly
Neil O'Reilly

PokerNews picked up the action with stacks already in the middle and cards on their back, with Neil O'Reilly and Conor O'Rourke the relevant players and O'Rourke at risk.

Conor O'Rourke: QQ
Neil O'Reilly: 77

O'Rourke was in a dominating position and seemed safe after the K910 flop, but the 7 rolled off on the turn to propel O'Reilly into the lead with a set of sevens and O'Rourke could not find the queen or jack he required on the 5 river.
