The board read {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} when all the chips of the player in the hijack were all in for around 17,000 with {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. He was called and covered by Charles Coddington in the early position who held {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the straight which couldn't be beaten anymore.

The river completed the board with the {2-Hearts} as a formality as Coddington added some more chips to his growing stack.

The player in the late position shoved for his last 2,800 and Alexander Pryor three-bet to 7,000 on the button for the blinds to fold.

"Just offering some protection," Pryor said with a smile while turning his cards over.

Late Position: {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Alexander Pryor: {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for Pryor to hit two pair immediately.

The turn brought them the {10-Hearts} which now gave his opponent a gutshot to a straight but the river completed the board with the {8-Spades} for Pryor to claim the pot and elimination to his name.

Ames Takes One Down

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Mitchell Ames
Mitchell Ames

The player in the under-the-gun position raised to 1,600 and the player in the late position shoved for 15,900 in total. Mitchell Ames decided to shove too, for more, in the big blind. The initial raiser opted to get out of their way.

Late Position: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Mitchell Ames: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The flop came {4-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for Ames to hit top pair.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and with neither player holding a club, Ames' opponent asked for another club to split the pot but the river completed the board with the {a-Spades} instead to give Ames top two pair.

Just before the break, Scott Davis took out another player when he held {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and his opponent had {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The board read {j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for Davis to have a full house by the time all the cards were dealt.

The hand after, the player in the middle position raised to 2,500 and Davies called on the button. The big blind opted to defend. They all checked through the {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop to the {10-Diamonds} on the turn. The big blind bet 5,000, the middle position folded but Davis raised to 25,000 to send his opponent into the tank while the break had started. After while, he opted to fold.
