Iaron Lightbourne: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The action folded to Iaron Lightbourne in the small blind, and he raised to 10m. Brandon Sheils was in the big blind and studied Lightbourne's stack before the chip leader three-bet to 31m. Lightboutne counted his stack and thought for 20 seconds before he moved all in and Sheils snap-called.

Liffey Loses Big Then Doubles

Level 36 : 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante

The board was down {2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{q-Clubs}, and Brandon Sheils bet 65m from the big blind with around 40m in the middle already. Rory Laffey was on the button and went into thinking mode. After a minute passed, he called for two-thirds of his stack and mucked when Sheils tabled {9-Spades}{10-Spades} for a straight.

In the very next hand, Laffey moved all in for 28m from the cutoff, and Dean Hutchison called in the big blind.

Rory Liffey: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Dean Hutchison: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Board: {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Liffey paired his ten on the flop, but Hutchison hit top pair. The turn ace gave both players two pair, but Laffey was set to exit until the miracle ten on the river hit to give him a lifeline.

Rory Liffey moved all in from the cutoff for around 60m, and Dean Hutchison called in the big blind with the shorter stack.

Rory Liffey: {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Dean Hutchison: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Board: {3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

Hutchison was the favorite to double up with his pocket jacks, and the flop was safe for him, except Liffey picked up a wheel draw. The turn {10-Spades} was a brick, but the {2-Diamonds} on the river gave Liffey the wheel and a lock on the pot. Hutchison was eliminated in fourth place for £50,000, and the play is now three-handed.
