Beresford Doubles Stevens

Level 2 : 1,400/2,800, 350 ante

Beresford jammed for 217,039 and Stevens called off for 202,906. Beresford held {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and doubled up Stevens into the lead as he showed up with {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for a better straight than what was on the board.

Beresford First Player Eliminated

Level 3 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford doubled up his short stack before he jammed for 23,666 from the hijack. Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez called from the button and the players showed their hands.

Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Beresford held a flush draw on the {10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and had a huge advantage in the hand after pairing up his king on the {k-Diamonds} turn. However, the {a-Diamonds} spiked the river to pair up Benitez's ace and Beresford was the first player on the rail.

While Beresford didn't immediately re-enter, he still has about four hours to change his mind before late-registration closes.

Vogelsang Doubles with Two Pair

Level 3 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

"Urii 1973955" opened for 3,200 from early position before Tom "Daenarys T" Vogelsang three-bet to 12,800 from the button. "InFernO 909" called from the small blind as did "Urii 1973955".

"InFernO 909" bet 22,200 on the {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop. "Urii 1973955" called before Vogelsang jammed for 144,402. "InFernO 909" called and "Urii 1973955" folded.

Tom "Daenarys T" Vogelsang: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
"InFernO 909": {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Vogelsang was behind his opponent's queens and it stayed that way after the {j-Hearts} turn. However, the {a-Hearts} river completed the board to give Vogelsang two pair and he doubled his stack.

Meanwhile, Sam "SamSquid" Grafton is on his second bullet in the early goings as is Benjamin "BC1989RF" Chalot. Ukraine's "ArturR2R" also hit the rail and has yet to re-enter.

Ramiro "ramastar88" Petrone opened for 6,880 from early position before Dinesh "NastyMinder" Alt three-bet to 22,400 from the hijack. Aliaksei "ale6ka" Boika four-bet to 48,000 from the button and Petrone five-bet to 89,600. Alt folded and Boika called.

Petrone jammed the {6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} flop for 198,002 and Boika called off for 197,152.

Aliaksei "ale6ka" Boika: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Ramiro "ramastar88" Petrone: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Petrone was behind and neither the {4-Diamonds} turn nor the {6-Clubs} river was able to help. Petrone lost the crumbs he had left in his hand the following hand and immediately re-entered.

Shortly after this hand, players went on their first break.
