Catalin Dumitrascu raised to 7m from the hijack and Garinder Purewal three-bet to 28.5m from the button. Dumitrascu asked Purewal how much he had behind to which the reply was around 15m.
Dumitrascu moved all in and Purewal snap-called.
Catalin Dumitrascu:
Garinder Purewal:
Board:
The king on the flop was a scare card for Purewal, but he held as the board completed to double up.
Colin McTaggart raised to 7m on the button and three-bet to 37.5m in the big blind. McTaggart and De Goede were in conversation before the former announced call.
It left him with just 11m behind, and on the flop McTaggart called when De Goede moved all in.
De Goede held for top pair, and McTaggart saw his fall behind. The turn and river were no help for McTaggart, and he departed in 10th place for £4,000.
Pim de Goede raised to 5.2m from the hijack, and Trevor Reardon three-bet to 13.5m on the button and Martin Dzurenda moved all in for 21m in the small blind. De Goede folded after the amount was confirmed and Reardon called.
Trevor Reardon:
Martin Dzurenda :
Board:
Dzurenda held with his pocket aces and is now playing a stack worth 45m.
Simon Brooks has just lost two hands back-to-back to be eliminated in 14th place.
In the first hand, Garinder Purewal moved all in from the small blind for 25m and Brooks called.
Garinder Purewal:
Simon Brooks:
Board:
Brooks had woken up with pocket aces and had a big preflop lead but when Purewal hit trip fours on the flop and held as the board completed to secure a very unlikely double up.
In the very next hand, Charles Akadiri raised to 4m from the cutoff, and Simon Brooks moved all in for eight big blinds the small blind and announced to the table he had not looked at his cards. James Golder reshoved from the big blind and Akadiri folded.
Simon Brooks:
James Golder:
Board:
It was Brooks' turn to come from behind and took the lead on the flop when he hit two pair. But the river card was revealed to be the king of clubs, and Golder regained the lead with a higher two pair to eliminate Brooks.
