Day Out-Kicked But Kicks Out Gray

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

A flop of {6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} saw Glenn Day lead out for 5,000 and opponent Matthew Gray move all in for 23,000. Day counted out the call and then threw it in, showing down top pair - but with a weaker kicker than Gray's.

Gray: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Day: {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and a few more straightening outs; the river was one of them - the {7-Spades}! Gray exited shaking his head while Day said, "That was skill!"

Scales Drop

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

We were alerted to the presence of a table-dynamic shifting pot with the words, "Oh well, end my reign of terror," from Alexander Scales. Marc Foggin's remaining 40,000-odd stack was in the process of being counted out to award him a double through; the board was standing {7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Foggin's {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} had claimed the pot. Which street the majority of the chips went in on is unknown but Scales apparently had held aces.

Connor-Hartley Performs Double Elimination

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Two limpers entered a preflop pot before Luc Connor-Hartley made it 3,500 to go. Neither was dissuaded from seeing the flop - even though fitness influencer and keen poker amateur Zac Aynsley was left with just 2,000 chips.

The flop: {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. Aynsley took the plunge, the second pre-flop caller threw in the 2,000 - followed by the rest of his stack when Connor-Hartley moved in for 20,000 (covering him).

Connor-Hartley: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Aynsley: {5-Spades}{7-Spades}
Third player: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and the river the {8-Hearts}; two scalps and a much more playable stack for Connor-Hartley.

Aynsley has plans off the felt with Chris Moneymaker, incidentally. He's going to teach him his fitness routine, and it's going to be on video...

Fraser Takes Break from Teasing Nasir To Bust Robertson

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Chris Fraser is now at the same table as chip leader (and clearly his mate) Hamza Nasir, who got the verbal rubdown for accidentally opening to 5,000 a minute ago having misread the big blind (600) for a 1,500 open. Fraser paused in his Nasir-related banter to open under the gun to 1,500 just now, and found Sean Robertson moving all in for his last 9,500. Back to Fraser who made the call.

Fraser: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Robertson: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The board: {2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} - no paint, and Robertson hit the rail.

Collins Has Outs, Until He Doesn't

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Gary Collins has bust out after a three-way pot (a single raise pre) escalated on a flop of {8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Big blind Gordon McArthur checked, and early position Colin Downer fired 4,200. Over to Collins, who moved all in for 17,600. Action back on McArthur, he moved all-in for over 50,000, setting Downer what turned out to be a tough question - the clock was almost called. Downer folded and McArthur announced, "The nuts."

Downer: {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for the flopped straight.
Collins: {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. "I have outs," he said, as the {3-Hearts} turn came down. The river was the {3-Spades}. "I have no outs," he said as he made his exit.
