Bateson Closing in on Seven Figures After Multi-Way Clash
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
After reaching the final table at the Hippodrome leg of the tour recently, Justin Bateson knows what it is like to come close to winning a Platinum Pass.
Things are looking a lot more promising after he moved all in over one player, only to get called by another and win the three-way showdown. Bateson had king-jack against pocket eights and jack-ten and when the flop came with a jack and a ten, it was looking like big trouble for Bateson, until he was saved by a king on the river.

turn gave Moneymaker a full house and he elected to check, with Nitel checking it back. Moneymaker went for a third check on the

Ferreira Busts One and Takes From Ilie Too
Level 21
: 8,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Christina Ilie opened the action to 32,000 and a player moved all in for 59,000. Martin Ferreira flat called behind and when the action came back to Ilie, she did the same.
On the flop, Ilie checked to Ferreira who bet 42,000 and it was enough to convince Ilie to fold. It was the right choice as Ferreira turned over two pair with 
and his opponent was in big trouble with a gutshot or running outs only with 
in the hole.
The 
turn, gave him a little hope but the river locked it up for Ferreira.
