The average stack in Level 9 is 42,000, and that's precisely what Niall Farrell would be playing, if he were in his seat. The lure of watching sports down the road for an hour has proven too tempting and he's sat the last level out entirely.
"My stack is probably better off without me," he said as he left the building.
Jereld Sam opened preflop to 3,000, called by button Zac Aynsley and big blind Thomas Peggs. He continued for 5,500 when Peggs checked the ![]()
![]()
flop and Aynsley folded. Back to Peggs, who raised to 12,800, finding Sam immediately setting him in for 35,800 total. Peggs snap-called, having flopped the world with ![]()
; Sam showed down ![]()
.
The turn was an irrelevant
but the
river briefly set pulses aflutter before it was noticed that this made Peggs a flush.

Short once more, Thomas Dunwoodie moved all in for 8,400 on a flop of ![]()
![]()
. He was called in one spot before action passed to the third player in the hand, Paul Kirkham, who re-shoved for around 50,000. This prompted a clearly reluctant fold from the first caller.
Dunwoodie: ![]()
for an up-and-down straight draw.
Kirkham: ![]()
for a winning king-high with diamonds.
The turn and river (![]()
) double paired Kirkham to send Dunwoodie to the rail. The third player was not best pleased, saying, "I call, you're in trouble. I was ahead until the river - I folded a ten."

Edita Dulko opened to 3,500 preflop. Action passed to Chris Fraser on the button, who moved all in for 19,000.
"I have the best hand," offered Fraser, "What do you have?"
"Can I say?" asked Dulko.
"Yes, but you lose aggressive action on the next street," joked Fraser.
"I have a pretty hand..."
"Pretty, or is it good?"
"Pretty good."
In the end she did not deem it good enough to make the call and asked Fraser to show the winning hand. Fraser said, "Pick one, they're both the same," and showed the
.
"That beats me already, that's good," Dulko told him.
