Redden Makes Correct Call

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Aidan Redden and Jan Verbraeken had created a pot of 33,000 chips preflop when they saw a flop of 6♥Q♦K♥ appear. Both players checked and did so too on the 3♥ turn.

The 4♦ river then completed the board and Vebraeken decided to bet 15,000 chips. Redden sighed and talked to himself for a while before slamming in a call.

Verbraeken showed A♣3♠ for bottom pair, which was no good against the 9♠9♥ of Redden, who shipped the pot and broke the 100,000-chip mark.

Juan Diaz-Caneja is also seated at this table, playing a big stack of 202,000 chips.

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Liam McVeigh raised to 2,400 from under the gun before Shyamrag Charuvil went all in for 21,200 from the button. The action folded back to McVeigh, who made a swift call to put his opponent at risk.

Shyamrag Charuvil: 4♦4♣
Liam McVeigh: 10♠10♥

McVeigh's tens faced little resistance on the 3♣3♠9♥5♠A♦ runout, scoring him a knockout and seeing him chip up to more than two starting stacks.

Holmes Chips Up More

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Arriving on a turn of 4♣J♥5♠4♦, Rory Ryan bet 6,500 from the big blind into a pot of 31,000. John Holmes was his opponent, in middle position, and he shook his head a few times before putting in the call.

The 2♥ river then completed the board, and Ryan fired another bet, of 12,000 chips this time. Holmes tanked for another minute or so before tossing in a calling chip.

Ryan showed K♥5♥ for two pair, fives and fours, but Holmes had that beat with his 9♠9♥ for a higher two pair. He scooped up another pot, ending up with a stack worth over three starting stacks.

Tom Parsons

Katie Harrington had open-raised from under the gun before Tom Parsons went all in for 12,800 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Harrington, who made the call to pur Parsons at risk.

Tom Parsons: A♥K♠
Katie Harrington: 10♥10♣

The 4♦9♠6♠ flop gave Parsons no help, but the 4♠ turn brought him a flush draw. The K♣ river did not complete his flush, but he still won the pot by pairing his king.

He raked in the chips but was still left with less than 20 big blinds in the final level of reentry.
