Robert Buky Eliminated in 8th Place (£1,900)

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Robert Buky
Robert Buky

Robert Buky was on the cutoff with {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and shipped all in. Justin Bateson called him with {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} on the button.

With an ace on the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Bateson moved well into the lead. The {3-Clubs} turn sealed the deal, with the {2-Spades} irrelevant.

Buky exits, whilst Bateson is closely contesting for the chip lead after winning the 2,350,000 pot.

Thongnonsung New Chip Leader

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

[Removed:148] opened to 350,000 with pocket {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and Justin Bateson three-bet with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, making it 900,000 to go. Round to Rungarun Thongnonsung and she found the other pair of {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and moved all in for 2,895,000.

It was a tricky spot for Ahmed and he used a time-bank card to before deciding that fold was the best option. That left Bateson with the only decision left to make and he found a call.

The {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop meant that with no more queens in the deck, Bateson was down to running cards only as his ten outs had gone to Thongnonsung. There was no sweat with the {4-Clubs} on the turn locking it up for Thongnonsung and once the {j-Clubs} completed the board, she collected the pot that gives her the new chip lead.

Ahmed Takes Back the Chip Lead

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

With blinds as high as they are, it is no wonder there is a lot of back and forth within the counts. Just now Ahmed took a pot of Rungarun Thongnonsung after he hit a straight by the river. He made a bet and was called and he pulls ahead of the rest of the table as a result.

Duncan Mackie
Duncan Mackie

Justin Bateson raised to 350,000 with {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} under the gun and Duncan Mackie defended his big blind with {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

On the {2-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flop, Mackie checked and Bateson quickly checked back with top two pair. On the {k-Spades} turn, Mackie had improved to second pair and he moved all in for 2,100,000, which Bateson couldn't call quick enough.

Mackie sighed when he saw the bad news and the he didn't find one of his six outs on the {9-Diamonds} river, sending him out the door.

Santos Doubles Through Miller

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Valdir Santos was down to six big blinds at the start of the hand, with two of them going into the ante and big blind. It folded to Gary Miller who set him all in blind v blind with {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Santos called with a dominating {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

On the {7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, it was looking very good for Santos, improving to top pair and leaving Miller with only a runner-runner straight draw. It was all over by the {q-Clubs} turn, with the {q-Diamonds} river making no difference.

Ahmed and Thongnonsung Tussle Over Bottom Pair

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Rungarun Thongnonsung limped {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} under the gun and [Removed:148] raised to 450,000 in the small blind with {4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Justin Bateson came along from the big blind with {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Thongnonsung joined them.

A continuation bet of 500,000 on the {3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop got Bateson to fold but not Thongnonsung. The 800,000 barrel on the {3-Clubs} turn did though and Ahmed's stack is worth almost half the chips in play.

Miller Bets Pot, Ahmed Calls Ace-High

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

[Removed:148] opened {a-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Gary Miller, who was sat with under 20 big blinds at this point defended {q-Hearts}{10-Spades} in the blinds.

There was no betting on the {j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop. Picking up a straight draw on the {9-Diamonds} turn and he opted to lead for 380,000, which Ahmed called. The {k-Clubs} completed the board and Miller bet exactly pot, with Ahmed calling the 1,610,000 bet with just ace-high.
