Fletcher Flushed Out

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Arron Fletcher is out and the table related how his exit went down.

Fletcher had defended his big blind with Jack-Five and saw a flop of 5-5-6 with two diamonds. He check-raised and then got it all in with his trips.

His opponent had {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and rivered a flush to send Fletcher packing.

Break Time

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

The 2nd 25-minute break of the day has started with the tournament now at the halfway point.

Bach Among the Big Stacks

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

On the heads-up turn of {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, Karim Souaid led for 2,500 out of the big blind and Guillem Cusco Bach raised to 8,000. Souaid quickly called and checked again the {5-Diamonds} river. Both players were the far biggest stacks at the table and Bach then bet 18,500 from the hijack. Souaid gave it some thought and checked the stack, but elected to fold with around 57,000 behind.

Another Vacant Seat As Guilbert Gets There

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Matthew Guilbert bet big on a flop of {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Nicholas J A Galt moved all in for not much more. Guilbert didn’t look delighted with himself but didn’t compound the error by folding so Galt was the player at risk.

Galt had hit with {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Guilbert had overs {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and the river the {k-Diamonds} to send Galt to the rail.

Hendry Stabs the Turn

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

There was a limp for 500 and a call, the small blind completed and Stephen Hendry in the big blind checked his option.

Four ways to a flop of {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and everybody checked. The turn card was the {j-Spades} and a check from the small blind prompted a bet of 2,100 from the snooker legend. Everyone else let it go and Hendry picked up the pot.
