Corcoran Down in Two Hands

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

A lot of noise came from table one and that was because of a 150,000 pot brewing between [Removed:321] Rezaei and Andrew Corcoran. Corcoran was in the lead with {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} against the {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} of Rezaei when they got it in preflop.

The {6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop was safe for Corcoran but the {q-Hearts} turn delivered a blow to Corcoran. The {2-Diamonds} river didn't change anything and Corcoran was left with just 5,000 while Rezaei won a huge pot.

Jarno Peeten busted Corcoran the next hand with pocket queens against ten-four suited and he was eliminated from the tournament after being plagued by the queens twice in a row.

Steenstra Doubles Through Skowron

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Simon Steenstra sat on the button when he found {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. It checked to him and he opened to 1,800. Marcel Skowron on the big blind announced all in which was for effectively 19,000 and Steenstra quickly called.

He was up against {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and faded the eight on the {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} runout.

Welcome Party

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

The Main Event of Lex Live London started last weekend and there were two days in between without a Main Event starting flight. A lot of familiar faces from the community are showing up and more people are arriving.

Everyone that is already here has the opportunity to enjoy themselves and to get to know people from the community in the Sky Bar of Aspers Casino.

Skowron Eliminates Griesbeck

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Stefan Griesbeck managed to get his last 17,000 in the middle with {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} but he was in bad shape against the {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} of Marcel Skowron.

The {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Spades} board didn't change anything for Griesbeck and he was sent to the rail. He still has the opportunity to reenter or he can play another flight.

Steenstra Lost in a Cooler

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Simon Steenstra lost about half of his stack and explained how it all went down.

He opened to 1,200 in the previous level from the button and he was called by the player in the big blind. The flop was {a-}{10-}{2-} with two hearts on there. Steenstra's opponent, Richard Hayes, checked and the Dutchman continued with a bet of 1,200. He was called again.

The turn was the {q-Hearts} which brought the third heart on the table. Steenstra bet again after it checked to him but he bet 2,800 this time. Hayes called again and the {8-} fell down on the river.

Steenstra was now facing a 15,000 bet from Hayes on the river and decided to call it off with {k-}{j-} for the nut straight, but he lost his chips against {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} of Hayes.

GJReggie Wins a Pot

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

The under-the-gun player raised to 1,200 and Georgina 'GJReggie' James three-bet to 3,200. She was called by a player on the button and the initial raiser got out of the way.

The flop fell {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and GJReggie continued her pre-flop aggression with a bet of 5,500. That was enough to make her opponent fold and pick up the pot.

Aloi Starts Off Well

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Damiano Aloi, in the community known as 'DAMMO_23', came all the way from Australia to come to Lex Live in Londen. His flight was 23 hours and now he's hoping to be in the tournament longer than in the airplane.

He just registered after the break and immediately won a nice pot. There was 11,000 in the middle on the {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop and Aloi bet 5,900 from the small blind.

That was enough to pick up the pot right at the start of his Main Event run.
