Dunwoodie's Done with Delgado

Level 45 : 300,000/600,000, 60,000 ante
Thomas Dunwoodie
Thomas Dunwoodie

Vicente Delgado and Thomas Dunwoodie are a beautiful personification of the clash between old school and new school.

Delgado is a Spanish online pro settled in the UK due to the ringfenced poker market in Spain. He's aggressive, calculated, always looking to make life difficult for his opponents.

Dunwoodie is a blissful bloke from Newcastle with years and years of experience from live tournaments. He's got tournament cashes from a decade or more ago, and he's seemingly having a blast playing live with his mates on the rail.

Despite these differences, they are both still in contention for the title at this partypokerLIVE Millions Main Event, and they just clashed in an interesting hand that Dunwoodie ultimately won.

Dunwoodie made it 1,5 million preflop and Delgado reraised once again to 4,5 million in position. Dunwoodie called.

The flop was {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and both players checked before Dunwoodie fired 2,5 million on the {K-Spades} turn. Delgado made the call.

Barely had the {8-Clubs} river hit the felt before Dunwoodie announced all-in. It took the dealer a minute and a half just to count up his 25,725,000 stack, all the while a focused Delgado tried to figure out what to make of the massive overbet.

Eventually, he let go of his hand, and Dunwoodie triumphantly turned over the {2-Diamonds} and raised his hands in victory. The other card remains a mystery to this day.

The Italian Rail Goes Wild

Level 45 : 300,000/600,000, 60,000 ante

Simone Cosentini was the initial raiser and Mateusz Rypulak defended his big blind before then check-raising the {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop. Cosentini, who had c-bet for 1,850,000, then moved all in for 17,250,000 and Rypulak quickly called.

Simone Cosentini: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Mateusz Rypulak: {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The {6-Clubs} turn was a blank, but the Italian rail went wild on the {A-Spades} river that gave Cosentini a straight to double up.

"Show Me the Bluff" ... or the Nuts

Level 45 : 300,000/600,000, 60,000 ante

Daniel Wilson defended his big blind against a raise by Maria Lampropoulos and then checked through the {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop and the {6-Diamonds} turn. On the {8-Hearts} river, Wilson bet 1,750,000 and Lampropoulos raised to 5,000,000. Wilson eventually folded and said "show me the bluff," before Lampropoulos flashed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for the nut flush.

"I had the queen of diamonds," Wilson added.

Two tables over, Soenke Jahn four-bet jammed twice. Once he picked up the three-bet to 3,900,000 of Igor Kurganov, then he forced out David Peters.

Bicknell Busted, Rypulak Ruling

Level 44 : 250,000/500,000, 50,000 ante
Kristen Bicknell busted late on Day 3
Kristen Bicknell busted late on Day 3

Kristen Bicknell doubled up before she busted late on Day 3. First, Bicknell super-short blind-on-blind call saw her hold with {Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs} against Mateuz Rypulak's {3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} across the {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} board.

That put Bicknell on 4million, but she needed another double before even being above ten big blinds, and she failed to get it when she called the button's shove in the next hand. Bicknell held {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, but couldn't hold against {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} when the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

While Bicknell's conqueror gained a few million, it was the man who originally doubled her micro-stack who has the lead across Day 3. Mateusz Rypulak has a golden £100,000 'Last Longer' chip to his name alongside 78 million chips, a mammoth stack. If he wins the MILLIONS Main Event outright as well as the last longer, he'll walk away with a cool £1.1million this weekend.

Tom Takes Two

Level 44 : 250,000/500,000, 50,000 ante
Tom Hall
Tom Hall

Tom Hall is running the streets at table #43 and seems to win most of the hands he engages in right now.

First off Hall raised to 1,2 million from the button and Sergio Castelluccio defended his big blind. The players checked through the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} flop before Castelluccio bet 600,000 on the {8-Spades} turn. Hall called.

It got interesting on the {K-Diamonds} river. Castelluccio bet one million, and Hall went into the tank. When he got out two minutes later, he made it 8,25 million to go, and that eventually got the fold from a surprised looking Castelluccio.

The very next hand Hall was at it again, firing pre, flop and turn to get a fold out of Tommaso Briotti on a {J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Spades} board. He succeeded.

Setback for Cody

Level 44 : 250,000/500,000, 50,000 ante

On the heads-up turn showing {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, Jake Cody checked out of the blinds and Mark Kelsall bet 1,075,000. Cody check-raised all in and Kelsall called with the {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for two pair. Cody was hoping for clubs as he showed {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, but the {10-Hearts} river was a brick to send Cody below average.

Happy Dance and Big Pot for Williams

Level 44 : 250,000/500,000, 50,000 ante

In a three-bet pot to the flop of {J-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Philip Hepburn check-raised and then called the shove of Ashley Williams to put himself at risk for around 14,000,000.

Phiilip Hepburn: {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for top pair
Ashley Williams: {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a gutshot

The {4-Hearts} turn gave Williams a wheel and he jumped out his chair, said "ship it" and started a little dance right behind the table, which some players on the table greeted with a big smile on the face. The meaningless {Q-Clubs} completed the board and Williams then apologized to Hepburn before stacking the ton of chips.
