Richard Robinson has doubled up courtesy of Paul Carr, all in on the turn of an board with versus . The river bricked out with a and Robinson took the pot. He now has 350,000, whilst Paul Carr drops to 130,000.
The action folded around to Zsombor Gall who raised to 13,500 from the cut-off. Without too much hesitation, Martin Hanitz slid in two stacks worth 40,000 from the big blind.
Gall moved immediately towards his chips, and after meticulously separating columns from his stack, pushed five of them across the line with a single yellow chip to boot - a total reraise to 105,000.
Hanitz sat back in his chair, mulled for a minute, before announcing all-in. Gall swiftly called.
Hanitz =
Gall
He was an underdog before the hand, but by the he was an underpuppy, and on the he was drawing dead. The river was therefore academic, and Hanitz scooped in a monstrous 600,000 pot.
Gall, meanwhile, exited moments later, down to 25,000, his unable to conquer the of James Mitchell. Shell shocked, he exited the room.
[Removed:248] raised to 13,500 from under the gun and Sean van Slujis made the call in the small blind. However, he hadn't realised that button Peter Murphy had yet to act, but after a ruling was made, van Slujis's bet stood. Murphy called, and likely lured in by implied odds, so did Martin Hantiz in the big blind.
On the flop, van Slujis led for 30,000 and received one caller in initial raiser Freymann. A turn didn't seem to slow him down as van Slujis fired a second time, 30,000 again. On the river, van Slujis made a curious bet of 6,000 which Freymann called as quickly as he did on the turn, but upon being shown for the flopped set, threw his hand into the muck.
Marty Wilson is showcasing his survival instincts, nurturing his short stack like a newborn. On the last hand, he fingered his chips momentarily before pushing what appeared to be a stack of 30,000 across the line.
"Make my day," he begged. "Double me up."
On this occasion, however, no one obliged, and Wilson picked up the pot with .
I'm not sure if there's a specific reason (perhaps nobody fancies a lonesome dinner), but after a hectic start today, the action's really slowed down with most pots being competed between a preflop raiser and a defender in the blind. The hand rarely gets beyond the turn.
Probably the shortest amount of enjoyment Jason Herbert could enjoy. He got his stack in again with against Rob Sherwood's but there was a fatal bullet on the turn of the board which puts Sherwood up to 250,000.
