Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mohammed Nasir opened to 75,000 from early position and Jason Green defended his big blind.

The 8♣A♠5♣ flop was checked through by both players.

On the 3♥ turn Green check-called a bet of 75,000 by Nasir.

The river brought the 3♠ and Green checked to his opponent. Nasir took some time to consider his options before sliding out a bet of 125,000.

Green quickly called but was shown the bad news when Nasir turned over A♥A♣ for a full house, causing Green to muck his hand.

Child took two timebanks to make his decision, before reluctantly mucking his hand and allowing Salmon to scoop the pot.

Richard Hayes

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After a number of shorter stacks had survived being all-in and achieved double-ups, Dan Luby moved all in and was called by Chris Da Silva, with Luby at risk.

Dan Luby: A♣Q♣
Chris Da Silva: 9♣9♠

Da Silva was ahead with a pair of nines, leaving Luby needing some help from the board.

None arrived on the 2♦10♠8♦7♠5♠ runout, sending Luby to the rail as the unfortunate bubble boy and allowing Da Silva to continue to build a healthy stack.

All 188 players remaining are now in the money, each having achieved a cash of £1,000.
