Padraig Burns opened to 15,000 from the button, and was met with a three-bet to 45,000 by Manoj Navani in the small blind.

Action back to Burns, who counted out his chips before four-bet jamming for around 115,000, earning a snap-call from Navani.

Padraig Burns: A♦10♠ All in
Manoj Navani: 9♠9♦

It was off to the races, and Burns could not connect with the 6♦5♠4♠Q♠J♣ runout.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Around 33,000 was in the middle on a board pf J♠5♣4♠J♥, in a hand between Nicholas Galtos in the big blind and Alessandro Furneri in middle position.

Galtos led out with a bet of 15,000 and Furneri called.

The 6♠ river completed the board, and Galtos fired again with a bet of 20,000, with Furneri making the quick call.

Galtos tabled 10♠3♠ for the rivered flush, and Furneri sighed and open-folded J♣ for trip jacks.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A huge pot of 150,000 had developed by the river on a board of 10♣8♣2♠9♥3♥, in a hand between Colin Lovelock and Adrian Trigo.

Lovelock checked to Trigo, who fired out a bet of 80,000. Lovelock looked pained and went into the tank, but ultimately decided he had to call.

He seemed to know deep down he was beat, and he placed the calling chips directly in front of Trigo as an indicator of where he believed they were going.

"Nuts" said Trigo, as he tabled Q♠J♠, "Knew it" said Lovelock as he mucked.

Player	Chips	Progress
Adrian Trigo	440,000 265,000	265,000
Colin Lovelock	210,000 210,000	210,000

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mark Vella was all-in for 38,000 and at risk versus Jonathan Hewston.

Mark Vella: K♠K♦ All in
Jonathan Hewston: 10♥10♦

Vella had Hewston crushed, and the 9♦5♣2♣ flop was clear. However the 10♣ hit on the turn, and the 7♠ river did not give Vella an unlikely escape.

Jonathan Hewston	260,000 230,000	230,000
Mark Vella	Busted
