Tom Middleton
Tom Middleton

Steven Morris raised from the cutoff and was three-bet by Steven Warburton from the small blind to 16,000.

Tom Middleton looked down at his hand in the big blind and announced all-in.

Morris, who cashed at the 2017 partypoker Caribbean Poker Party in Punta Cana, was undecided in his next move but eventually let his hand go into the muck. Warburton on the other hand immediately folded straight after.

Brammer Opens Up a Lead Once More

Level 6 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a {7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board Tom Middleton checked to Chris Brammer on the button who bet 7,000. Middleton check-raised to 22,000 and Brammer called.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} with Middleton check-calling a bet of 12,000.

The river was the {5-Spades}. Middleton checked and Brammer pushed 150,000 out, putting his opponent all in. Middleton thought, counted out his chips before slamming them down next to his cards in apparent frustration. Eventually he let it go and Brammer moved back over 300,000 in chips and back into the chip lead.

Gomez Exits With Aces and Re-enters

Level 5 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Javier Gómez
Javier Gómez

We got to the Super High Roller section of Dusk Till Dawn with Javier Gomez all-in and waiting on a decision from Anthony Clancy.

The board read as follows: {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Clancy clearly had a tough decision as Gomez's shove was for nearly all of his own stack and went into thinking mode. He didn't take too long to make the call however and saw he was ahead of Gomez's pocket aces with {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for two pair.

Gomez has taken advantage of the late registration up to 18:45 local time and has now rejoined the field.

Dominik Nitsche

Yesterday's partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Germany €10,000 High Roller winner Dominik Nitsche has made the journey over from Rozvadov to Nottingham, and has recently joined his fellow German Manig Loeser in the Super High Roller field.

Not long after sitting down, Steven Warburton, who had recently picked up a hefty pot off Chris Brammer, raised to 4,000 and Dominik Nitsche three-bet out of the small blind to 16,000. Warburton four-bet all in and Nitsche quickly folded.

Also sitting down, albeit for the second time, was Luo Xiaoyang who was eliminated at a table with Keith Johnson and Paul Jackson, and is now seated at Ben Winsor's table on his second bullet.

Johnson Doubles Through Loeser

Level 5 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Keith Johnson
Keith Johnson

Keith Johnson had been under a lot of pressure from his opponents in the last few hands but found a spot for an all-important double up.

Firstly, Loeser shoved from the small blind and Johnson mucked in the big blind. In the very next hand, Johnson completed in the small blind only for Javier Gomez to make it 18,000. Johnson's 25,000 stack could not handle the heat and he folded.

But his luck changed straight away after Loeser opened to 4,000 from the cutoff. Johnson moved all his chips into middle and the blinds both folded. Loeser made the call showing {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Johnson was ahead with {A-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and held to move his stack up to 52,000.
