Murphy Jams Up His Stack

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Dean Murphy raised to 1,000 and Jason Wheeler three-bet to 3,500 in the cutoff. Martin Raus called out of the small blind and Murphy then simply jammed with the covering stack. Wheeler folded and Raus also let go, exposing the {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Murphy returned the favour and showed his {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} before collecting the chips.

Angelil Forces Fold from Benham

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a three-bet pot to the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop, Patros Benham and Rene-Charles Angelil both checked. The {10-Hearts} turn saw a bet of 3,500 by Angelil and a call from Benham, which led them to the {a-Spades} on the river. Angelil fired another bet of 8,500 and Benham folded after a brief spell in the tank.

Showdown Pot for Thorel

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Three ways to a {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop, Peter Turmezey bet 1,700 and picked up calls by Jean-Noel Thorel as well as Abhinav Iyer, the former of which was in the small blind. There was no further betting action on the {k-Diamonds} turn and {8-Hearts} river as Thorel revealed the {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} for turned top pair.

That was enough to win the pot as both his opponents folded.

Shahi Receives His Marching Orders

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With plenty of chips in the middle to the {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{q-Spades} turn, Nicholas Marchington check-jammed into a bet worth 12,000 by Arash Shahi and the latter grabbed his phone after he called it off with both players holding near identical stacks.

Shahi inquired of the dealer whether or not he was allowed the showdown and then started his commentary.

Arash Shahi: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Nicholas Marchington: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Only a four or five would knock out Shahi and that's what happened with the {4-Hearts} river as he suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, trying to regain his composure all the while the recording was still happening. Both stacks were counted and the 27,300 of Marchington covered to knock out Shahi in cruel fashion.

It looks like karma didn't work for Shahi even though he paid back Daniel Negreanu a four-year "debt" last summer.

Linde Gets a Lift

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Evan Sparling opened the action from the hijack before Dylan Linde jammed for 6,600 from the button. Action folded back to Sparling who called.

Dylan Linde: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Evan Sparling: {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Linde survived to double up following the {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} runout.

Martin Jacobson raised from the hijack and was called by Fabian Bernhauser in the big blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} with 2,500 in the pot and action checked through.

The river was the {8-Hearts} and Bernhauser fired 13,600. Jacobson went into the tank before throwing his cards into the muck.

Jason Mercier

Action was caught on the {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop with around 8,000 in the pot.

Amirouddine Alibay bet 3,000 from under the gun and was called by Lex Veldhuis from middle position.

The very next hand, Jason Mercier opened to 800 from the button and Alibay called from the big blind. Alibay check-folded after Mercier continued for 700 on the {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop.

Romaniuc Doubles Through [Removed:529]

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a preflop all-in contest, Dan-Ioan Romaniuc was all-in for the last 24,200 and received a very reluctant call by [Removed:528] with the covering stack.

Dan-Ioan Romaniuc: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
[Removed:528]: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Romaniuc was awarded a full double up with his set of aces.

Derwiche Jams Into Karmatckii

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Arsenii Karmatckii squeezed to 3,200 out of the small blind in order to receive a call from Imad Derwiche, which led them to the {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop. The continuation-bet of Karmatckii for 1,500 followed, and he then folded with a shorter stack behind when Derwiche moved all-in.
