Pynn's Number Up

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

A bad run for Adam Pynn in the last few levels has ended with a final beat from Matthew Gray. Moving all in preflop with for around 40,000, he was called by Gray with . He held over the flop, but the middle pin on the turn gave Gray the broadway straight. Hopes of tying died with the river and Pynn headed to the rail with a "gee gee" to the table.

Tablemate Will Lawrence expressed sympathy for Pynn's run: "He lost king-queen to king-ten before, too. He got it in great - he'd have 100k now."

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

Stringer in a late bid for chip dominance

Christopher Stringer has flown under the radar somewhat today, action-wise, but his stack is now over 300,000 after his elimination of Will Lawrence.

The hand prior, he'd been check-raised off a heads up flop of by Nikolay Ponomarev (9,000 to 22,000) only to be shown for a bluff - apparently because the hand was being recorded.
