Green Busts Two

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Simon Green has just eliminated two opponents, one of which was Kanan Farzaliyev who had doubled in the first level of the day.

Action was on the flop with {3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} on display and Green led for 2,200 into three opponents. He faced a re-raise all in of 8,400 from Farzaliyev and then an all in over the top of 15,400 from another opponent. Green used a time-bank card before making the call.

Simon Green: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Kanan Farzaliyev: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Green was ahead at this point and it stayed that way on the {5-Clubs} turn and {k-Hearts} river. He chips up and it's back to the drawing board for his opponents.

Previous Platinum Pass Runner Up Faring Well

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Justin Bateson finished runner up in the London leg of the tour at the Hippodrome last month and is here, hoping to do one better and go the distance for that coveted Platinum Pass this time round.

He is heading in the right direction after netting a large pot and eliminating an opponent in the process. He got it all in on a {4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop with {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and was up against {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Though behind, he still had an over and a flush draw to hit and he didn't have to sweat long, hitting an {8-Clubs} on the turn to give him the nuts.

Incidentally, he is sat next to Simon Green who also final tabled the same event at the Hippodrome, finishing in 7th place.

Langston Doubles

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

James Langston has doubled his stack after getting it in with {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and holding against {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} on a {10-Clubs}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} board just now. That pot gives him double the starting stack, which is more than the average at this point.

Mcgilly Survives

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

All the chips went in preflop, with short-stacked Terence Mcgilly in for his tournament with his last 8,700 in the middle. He was racing with {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} against his opponent's {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

Mcgilly connected with the {5-Spades}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} board and his pair of jacks was good enough to keep him in the game.

Miskelly on the Up

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Gary Chan opened the action to 1,600 and got two calls behind and one from the blinds.

The flop fell {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} and it checked to Chan who continued for 5,100. Both players behind called and the big blind folded.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and after Chan checked, the player on his left moved all in for 7,000. William Miskelly was on the button and he flat-called. Chan didn't like the spot, reluctantly passing and he was right to do so.

William Miskelly: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Miskelly couldn't lose, having turned the flush and he boosts up nicely after that hand.
