Nik Persaud just laid down pocket Tens on an 8 high dry board and got shown Jacks. He then said that was the third time he had been coolered in the last short while. Jay Samani sympathised and said he was surprised he could get away from the Tens as his head must be scrambled from those last hands.
Very soon after Persaud raised for 28,000 from early position and got a call from neighbour Sally Stephens. It folded round to Samani who was in the small blind and he raised it to 68,000.
Persaud folded, Stephens folded and a rare show from Samani who twirled the around with his fingers.
Among the most recent casualties were Lucy Gamble and Benjamin Hohl.
Hohl called the big shove of Daniel Harwood with and had a flip against the . The flop of was no good news, and he was left drawing dead on the turn. Harwood started a little happy dance close to the table while the meaningless fell on the river and scored a big double.
Leo Madden got his last six big blinds in with the and was in desperate shape against the of David Johnson. It was all over after the turn already, and the river didn't matter much.
While Madden waited to pick up his payout confirmation, Diego Gomez arrived next and has been eliminated as well.
Eldad Bentov was all in for just 89,000 with the and the cards of his opponent were already in the muck. Bentov made runner runner quads on the board and that fit perfectly to the action over on table six. Ludovic Geilich arrived and dominated the action, peeking at 2,100,000, before Clement Tripodi doubled through him.
David Kahan raised to 30,000 from the button and Sander Sol called in the small blind. On the flop, Sol check-raised from 30,000 to 70,000 and Kahan just called. On the turn, Sol bet 90,000 and received the call before the Dutchman then jammed the river.
Kahan snap-called abd tabled , while Sol sheepishly turned over for a bluff gone wrong.
One table over, the next big bang took place. Alexandre Poulain had raised and Lam Van Trinh from one seat over and Guillem Cusco Bach in the big blind called. The trio checked the flop before Trinh and Bach got their stacks in after the turn.
Trinh showed for the nut straight and straight flush draw, while Cusco Bach had for the nut straight only. Sure enough the popped up on the river and a massive pot was shipped to Trinh.
