Sardini Back In; Antezana Not Yet

Christian Zetzsche

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Gavin Sardini has re-entered and was placed right between Sugen Singh and Muaaz Gani over on table 25. There is one seat open on table 24 and it formerly belonged to Edgar Antezana, who was eliminated on the first bullet but will certainly be back later for more action on Day 1b.

The field is up to 66 entries now while a Freeroll satellite is also underway in the secondary tournament area.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Gilbert Tin Fook opened to 1,300 and Sugen Singh three-bet to 4,600 in the next seat. Gavin Sardini called and it folded back to Tin Fook, who simply declared all-in.

Singh folded and Sardini then sighed "so you don't want any action, eh? You have what, like ace nine?" he inquired. Sardini used one time bank extension and folded, Tin Fook flashed the A♦K♣.

"I was ahead, I had pocket nines," Singh chimed in.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On the tail end of a heads-up pot to the 10♣5♦3♣4♠5♣ river, Benjamin "Guppie" Lingenfelder bet 6,500. He was called by Dave Nundloll, who made the call. Lingenfelder tabled his 6♥4♥ fives and fours with a busted straight draw and Nundloll won the pot with what appeared to be black eights.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Jean Souprayenmestry raised to 1,200 and Huawei Sun called. Janno Cazemier on the button squeezed to 4,000 and both came along to the K♠K♣6♦ flop, which was checked through. Cazemier bet 6,000 on the 3♠ turn when checked to with Souprayenmestry being the only caller.

That led to the 2♠ river on which Souprayenmestry checked. Cazemier moved all-in for around 12,000 and was snap-called to show A♦10♠ for a bluff, Souprayenmestry earned the knockout with Q♠6♠ for a flush.

Aidan Jacobs pushed all-in for 3,000 and received two callers. The two active players checked down the J♦9♥8♠A♦10♠ runout and Jacobs said "don't show me a straight". He was shown A♠6♠ and 6♣6♥ to earn the triple up with A♣A♥ for top set.

David Ng raised and Muzamil Gothey three-bet on the button to 3,500 for the big blind to cold-call. Ng then squeezed to 9,500 and forced out both opponents with the big blind laying down 9♦9♥.

One table over, Eduarte Duarte raised to 1,200 and was called by Ashley Hira as well as Bradley Moore. Vishal Ghoorbin in the big blind made it 4,700 to go and received a single caller in Duarte. The K♥8♥2♠ flop saw Ghoorbin lead for 3,500 and Duarte folded.

Brookes Jams Up His Stack

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Over on table 16, a bigger pot emerged between Terry Brookes and his table neighbour. By the time the turn showed J♥4♠3♠3♥, there were more than 37,000 in the middle and Terry Brookes pushed all-in for 29,400. His neighbour tanked for a long time and eventually folded.

Brookes flashed pocket kings and then said "the way you played it preflop, I thought you have pocket aces. Do you know how often I have run kings into aces in this tournament?" he mentioned and then referred to a crazy four-way all-in near the end of Day 1a in The Hendon Mob Challenge to Maureen Bloechlinger, who was also involved.

Either way, there was no call and Brookes raked in the pot to leap well above the average.
