Kimber Busts Last Hand Before Break

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

A huge pot at the end of Level 4 has handed Hamza Nasir the chip lead and eliminated Jeff Kimber in the process. A three-bet preflop pot (from 1,900 to 5,600) saw three players see a {7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop with over half a starting stack in the middle already. The third player checked, Nasir led out 10,000 and Kimber called.

The turn: {8-Hearts}. Nasir fired another 20,000 and Kimber called once more.

The river: {k-Diamonds}. Nasir moved all in for 19,500 and after a bit of a think, Kimber called all-in for slightly less.

Nasir showed down {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and though Kimber mucked it was not before the {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} flashed. He now has 15 minutes to regroup, re-enter and rejoin battle at the felt.

Early Leaders

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

As Chris Moneymaker moves on to bullet number two, these players appear to be leading the Day 1b field.

Herbertson's Chance to Triple Evaporates on the Turn

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Paul Herbertson has been eliminated after moving all-in on a three-way flop of {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for 4,900 (around pot), called by both opponents. The action accompanying the {j-Hearts} turn could not have given him much confidence: the player first to act bet out 5,000 and was raised to 10,000 by Dawn Burnip. After the first player folded, Herbertson tabled {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and announced with calm understatement, "That'll do," when he saw the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} in her hand. He was drawing dead, tapped the table and made his exit.

Good River for Day Equals Bad River for Moneymaker

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

A hand that started cagily four-way ended up denting Chris Moneymaker's stack. Glenn Day made the first optional action with a limp in the cutoff for 300. Button Jeff Kimber raised to 1,000, picking up both blinds (Filippo Scialo and Moneymaker) and Day for the flop: {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Four checks later, a turn: {j-Spades}. Again, no one exercised their right to put any more chips into the pot.

The river, however, saw action. When the {6-Clubs} came down, Scialo led out for 1,000 and Moneymaker raised to 6,500. Day immediately threw in the call while Scialo passed. Moneymaker called his opponent's hand: "Guess you got a straight. So do I..." but the bad news was that it was the nut version.

Moneymaker: {5-}{7-}
Day: {10-}{q-}

"Good river!" announced Day, raking in the pot.

"Very bad river," countered Moneymaker.

Downer Unafraid of Sharks

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Colin Downer, who played yesterday's Day 1a, is back in action in the early levels of a fresh flight, undaunted by playing out of position with a shark-themed Chris Moneymaker. They recently saw a flop of {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Downer swiftly check-raising Moneymaker's 3,000 bet to 11,000.

"Pocket threes?" mused Moneymaker, before throwing his hand away.

Tang Didn't Come Here To Fold

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Tin Tang kept up the pressure on Alexander Walton at the end of Level 2, three-betting to 2,500 preflop in position, then firing 3,100 on the {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop. Walton check-called the flop bet, then checked again on the {3-Diamonds} turn. Tang immediately threw in the rest of his stack (which was nearly a full 30,000 at start of play; he was a late registrant) and Walton declined to call off 22,000.

Scales Spikes Set

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

A pot of 7,300 had already grown between Alexander Scales (small blind) and cutoff Paula Hautvast on a {3-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades} board when a 5,000 value chip came into play, bet out by Scales. Hautvast thought for a short while before throwing in the call. The river was the {2-Diamonds}. Out led Scales again, this time for 10,000. Hautvast, previously so gregarious, grew serious as she considered the bet, chip riffling pensively. Finally, she threw in a chip representing a call for over a third of her remaining stack.

"Set," announced Scales, showing down {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}. "Did you have two pair?"

Hautvast nodded.
