The (Former) Champ is Here!

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Former WSOP Main Event Peter Eastgate has just arrived having bought in for today. The Danish champion of 2008 who took home over $9 million dollars as well as the most prestigious prize in poker, has sat down with a stack of around 50,000.

Burland Gets His Set Paid Off

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante
Jamie Sykes and Jamie Burland
Jamie Sykes and Jamie Burland

Joining the action on a {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, Jamie Burland had bet 9,000 from late position and saw Alain Fustin raise to 21,000 from two seats over. Burland, dressed impeccably in a shirt and tie, raised all in for 56,000. This all in bet sent Fustin into the tank for close to two minutes before he emerged with a call.

Burland turned over {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Fustin must have thought they were on the river because he initially slammed his cards onto the felt face down towards the muck before retrieving them and flipping them over. Fustin's {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} was not drawing dead, but it was drawing to just two outs. Those outs failed to materialise as the river was the {K-Hearts} and Burland doubled up.

Not the Best Start for JP Kelly

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

JP Kelly has bought in late here in the ISPT Wembley Main Event and has not got off to the best of starts having lost a decent sized pot to Nicolas Cardyn.

Kelly led for 2,200 from under the gun on a {Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop and Cardyn called from his seat in the hijack. The {8-Hearts} completed a possible heart flush but Kelly did not slow down; instead, he increased his bet to 4,800. Cardyn asked for confirmation of the bet amount, possibly because it sounded like 2,800. Once armed with his new information, Cardyn raised to 12,200. Kelly face remained expressionless as he mucked his cards.

Cardyn is now rapidly approaching 200,000 chips in this tournament and is on a roll it seems.

Frankland Gets Involved Again

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Matt Frankland remains pretty active at his table, and hasn’t been deterred by the arrival of Jamie Burland. They have yet to tangle in any significant pots but Frankland is ready to battle it out with the others at the table.

On a flop of {K-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {2-Clubs} Frankland faced a bet from the small blind which he just called. A {2-Diamonds} was the turn card and both players decided to check.

The small blind checked for a second time when the {7-Diamonds} appeared on the river and Frankland decided to make his move with a bet of 7000. His opponent looked at the board to make sure he replayed the hand correctly in his head, shrugged and called the bet.

Franklin showed the {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for the nut flush and the small blind mucked with a slight grimace.

A few hands later, and with no player sat at the big blind, Frankland in the small blind called a 1200 bet from the button.

The flop was {4-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} Frankland elected to lead for 1800 and the button called.

The turn brought the {J-Spades} and Frankland again decided to bet, this time 4500. Again the button just called.

When the river brought the {7-Spades} Frankland took some time before checking to his opponent who took the initiative offered and bet 7000.

Frankland called and decided to show his {10-Spades} {7-Spades} after his opponent showed him the better two pair, {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}

Down Trodd-en

Level 5 : 250/500, 50 ante
Amy Trodd
Amy Trodd

Poor Amy Trodd has just seen her stack split in half. She called a 26,175 bet on the river of a {2-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} board only to be shown {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} by her opponent, Gaetan Balleur, who finished 26th in the WSOP Main Event last year. Trodd's been left with just 22,000 but that's still over 40 big blinds at this stage of proceedings.

Benyamine is Feeling Flush

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Florant Marques was first to act in early position and he opened to 1,200. One player folded and David Benyamine called. That was the end of the preflop action as everyone else folded, leaving the two players to fight over a {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop.

Marques checked to Benyamine, who placed 1,650 worth of chips over the betting line. Marques called and the dealer put the {K-Clubs} onto the felt. Marques checked again and then called when Benyamine went for a second shot at the pot with a 2,700 bet. The {3-Clubs} river saw the board have more clubs than Ibiza and again Marques checked. Benyamine reached for chips and made it 5,025 to play. Marques looked like he was considering a fold before actually calling.

Benyamine opened the {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for the nut flush and Marques mucked.

Benyamine is up to 65,000.
