Tim Baker

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Conor McCrossan opened from the cutoff to 6,000 with Stephen Leahy calling out of the small lblind, and Leo Worthington-Leese defending his big blind.

When it checked to McCrossan on the K♠K♣J♣ flop, he put out a continuation-bet of 6,000. Leahy folded, but Worthington-Leese check-raised to 21,000. McCrossan called.

Worthington-Leese bet 28,000 upon seeing the 5♥ come on the turn. McCrossan called with roughly 70,000 left in his stack.

After the A♦ dropped on the river, Worthington-Leese shoved for McCrossan's remaining chips. McCrossan thought it over for a while before putting in the call for his tournament life.

Worthington-Leese flipped over Q♠10♦ for a rivered straight. It was good as McCrossan furiously showed K♥8♣ for trip kings and swiftly headed for the exit.

John Vogelaar raised to 6,000 under the gun and was called by three players before Daryl Mcaleenan squeezed all in for roughly 70,000 from the big blind. Vogelaar shoved for around 190,000 and the rest of the players folded.

Daryl Mcaleenan : A♠5♥ All in
John Vogelaar : 10♦10♥

Mcaleenan tried to make a move to pick up the dead money in the pot but was unfortunate to run into the pocket tens of Vogelaar. The board ran out 3♣J♥8♠5♣6♠, and Vogelaar's hand held up, sending Mcaleenan out the door.
