Carter Thriving

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante

Paraskevas Tsokaridis opened to 80,000 and Daniel Carter called from two seats over on the button. On the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop, Tsokaridis continued for 120,000 and Carter called before the {A-Clubs} turn was checked to the Brit. Carter now made it 320,000 to go and received the call before the {2-Spades} river saw another check and a hefty bet worth 700,000 by Carter.

Tsokaridis eventually called and then tapped the table in defeat when Carter flashed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a set as winning hand.

Jack Hardcastle on the same table is also thriving and Dylan Honeyman arrived at his new table and was straight in the big blind. Mustapha Kanit raised to 85,000 and was called two ways. Honeyman then three-bet to 340,000 and that shut down all further action.

No Love for Lodden

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante
Johnny Lodden
Johnny Lodden

Oscar Serradell raised it up to 60,000 preflop and called when Norway's Johnny Lodden shipped it in for 440,000 total. Serradell held the {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} which statistically speaking was barely edging out the {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} of Johnny Lodden.

The {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop made Serradell an even bigger favorite, and by the {9-Diamonds} turn he had so many outs, that it was still virtually a coinflip with just one card to come.

The {A-Spades} river completed the flush for Serradell, and Lodden made his way out of the Marquee, that still hosts a number of the 220 remaining players.

Chidwick Jams into Yosifov

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante

Martin Kabrhel is no longer on the table full of big names and Christian Nilles as well as Stefan Schillhabel also lost most of their chips, while Igor Kurganov more than doubled.

And then there was Stephen Chidwick, who just took a big pot off Dimitar Yosifov to build his stack. Yosifov limped in and Chidwick raised to 105,000 in the bib blind, which Yosifov called. On the {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop, both checked and the {5-Hearts} fell on the turn. Yosifov led for 150,000 and was called before firing another 225,000 on the {A-Diamonds} river.

Chidwick moved all in and Yosifov folded with around 600,000 behind.

Delgado Doubles Through Bennani Smires

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante

After a raise by the player in under the gun, Vicente Deldago called on the button and Fahd Bennani Smires defended the big blind. On the {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, the action checked to Delgado and he bet 75,000, which Bennani Smires then check-raised to 225,000. The player under the gun folded and Delgado called.

The {Q-Hearts} turn was checked and Bennani Smires then shoved the {4-Clubs} river. It was a bad timing for the Moroccan to bluff with {10-}{8-}, as Delgado had flopped a set and rivered a full house with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} to double up.

Perfect Timing for Ruiter

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante

Christoffer Stahle raised to 65,000 from under the gun and Michal Danka called, as did Sohnke Jahn on the button. Bryan Ruiter then moved all in for 357,000 out of the big blind and Stahle called, Danka and Jahn folded.

Bryan Ruiter: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Christoffer Stahle: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Ruiter more than doubled.

Lightbourne is Shining Again

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante
Iaron Lightbourne
Iaron Lightbourne

A massive pot of more than 1.7m was brewing between Iaron Lightbourne in the cutoff and Philip Hepburn in the big blind, the board was showing {9-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Hepburn checked and Lightbourne moved all in, his stack was counted and the shove was for 1,509,500.

Hepburn ultimately called and then sighed when he spotted the cards of his opponent.

Iaron Lightbourne: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Philip Hepburn: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The {J-Spades} on the river was a brick and Hepburn lost a big chunk of his stack. Two years ago, Lightbourne won the £2,200 WPT Nottingham Main Event here in the Dusk Till Dawn for a career-best score of £200,000 and the Brit is looking for an even bigger payday in this week.

Anton Morgenstern Gets to One Million Chips the Expensive Way

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante

German Anton Morgenstern got his last chips in with {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} only to be looked up by {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The {K-}{J-}{4-} flop didn't help his cause, neither did the {10-} turn nor {J-} river.

Ultimately Morgenstern did gain some chips on the all-in, exactly one million as a matter of fact. He got them in the cashier, and they cost him £5,300.

235 players are still going at it here at Dusk Till Dawn Nottingham.
