Aces Take Out Daglish, Too

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Seconds after Farrell's elimination, the new shortest stack still in contention, Steven Daglish, got his last chips all in preflop with {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} - only to run into Paul Simmons with {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}.

The next hand, he doubled through Steve Lewis, however, so Simmons' bid for chip leadership was short lived. "Easy come, easy go," he said.

Short Stack Jams Get Through - Except Farrell's

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Chris Moneymaker moved all in for 50,000 over the top of a Tin Tang flat call and took a set of blinds and the ante. Paul Herbertson did the same over the top of a button open to 10,000 from Ryan Kilbey (similar stack) and also picked up some uncontested chips.

When short-stacked Di Farrell took the plunge, however, over the top of a mid position open from Jake Hough, she ran into {a-}{a-}. There was a sweat for her {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} on the {3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop, but the flush did not materialise (the turn and river {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}).

Chowdhury Takes Down Palfery-Smith

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The seemingly unstoppable late rise of Saifur Chowdhury continues with the elimination of James Palfery-Smith, who jammed preflop with {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for around 30,000 only to run into {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. The board stayed low and spadeless: {2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Full chip counts coming in the break (five minutes).

Chowdhury Busts Taylor To Extend Chip Lead

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

Heads up on a {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop, with 20,000 in the middle, Daniel Taylor moved all-in for 47,000 (Chowdhury was already putting a big stack in to call when we arrived so it's unclear whether it was over a continuation bet or not). Chowdhury called quickly, showing down {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}; Taylor could only table top pair with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

The turn and river {6-Spades}{j-Hearts} sealed Taylor's fate and the rich on Table 2 get richer. It seems there was history between these two opponents, as when Chowdhury started stacking Taylor's chips, a tablemate announced, "You're his nemesis!"

A precipitous drop in chips from his near 200,000 a couple of levels ago sees Alexander Scales no longer running over his table. Counts include those of his opponents.
