Anicito Scores Big Double

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop two players checked to Ronan Sweeney who bet 17,000. Davide Anicito was first to act and check-raised to 44,000. The third player folded and Sweeney called.

Anicito bet 61,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn and Sweeney called. The river was the {q-Spades} and Anicito moved all in for 150,500. After pondering his options Sweeney called. Anicito showed {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the nut flush and Sweeney was forced to show {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for trip sixes.

Everything Coming Fives for Loeser

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Manig Loeser
Manig Loeser

Manig Loeser defended his big blind to a single open and the flop came {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Aptly, Loeser check-called a bet of 5,000 and the turn was the {7-Clubs}.

Both players checked and the river was the {j-Hearts}. Loeser kept up the fives theme, betting 15,000. His opponent called and Loeser turned over {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a rivered full house.

Warburton Doubles Through Garland

Level 9 : 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Steven Warburton
Steven Warburton

We got to the table as Andrew Garland was muttering "I got a bit carried away," to Steven Warburton.

Warburton was sitting pretty with {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} and having his double counted out by the dealer, with the board reading {8-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}. According to the table, Garland has queens and failed to best Warburton's pocket aces.

Garland now sits with just under 100,000 with Warburton making a push for the chip lead currently held be James Eftekhari

Sidhu Eliminated by Liperis

Level 9 : 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Yiannis Liperis
Yiannis Liperis

Sidhu had clearly lost a big pot by the time we returned to check on him. Yiannis Liperis had opened to 7,000 from the hijack and Christian Thiry had called in the cutoff. Sidhu moved all in for under 100,000 from the button and the blinds folded.

Liperis thought before four-betting to 107,000 and Thiry shook his head before folding. He looked annoyed when Liperis turned over {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, ahead of the {a-Clubs}{6-Spades} of Sidhu.

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Sidhu was eliminated.

"Fold the winner?" a tablemate asked Thiry who nodded and explained that he folded pocket tens.

Morris Sniffs Out a "Never A Bluff"

Level 8 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The cutoff raised to 6,500 and Steven Morris three-bet to 15,500 on the button. The big blind cold-called and the cutoff called as well.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. It checked to Morris who bet 21,000. The big blind check-raised to 61,000. The cutoff folded.

"He can never show a bluff," Morris said to the player in the cutoff. "Never a bluff!" he continued before eventually folding.
