Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Simon 'Mzzlaar' Steenstra was eliminated from the tournament. He shoved king-queen offsuit to the middle after an open and he was called by ace-nine.

Steenstra managed to hit a queen on the flop but Barry Greenstein paid a visit to London when an ace came down on the river to bust Steenstra from the tournament.

The Dutchman immediately jumped in line to register for the turbo flight that is about to kick-off.

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The flop was already when Tom Parsons check-called a bet of 4,000 from Helena McConnel. The turn was dealt and Parsons checked again.

McConnel continued to show aggression with a bet of 8,500 but Parsons moved all in for about 30,000. That was enough to move McConnel off her hand and Parsons picked up the pot.

McConnel Doubles Up

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Helena McConnel was hovering around the starting stack of 30,000 when she got her chips in the middle with pocket jacks against ace-queen and she flopped a set of jacks when the first three community cards were dealt.

The turn brought a sweat where her opponent had a gutshot straight draw, but the river was a massive brick and the pot was pushed to McConnel who has about double the starting stack right now.
