Davies Busts Hirst

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Will Davies raised to 5,000 from the late position and action folded to David Hirst in the small blind who shoved for 10,700 in total. Carlos Gonzalez folded his big blind and Davies quickly called.

David Hirst: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Will Davies: {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The flop came {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for Davies to flop two pair immediately.

The turn brought them the {5-Hearts} for Hirst to hope for one of his two outs to come on the river but he bricked it as the {3-Spades} completed the board to send him to the rail.

Le Takes From Seymour

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Tu Le
Tu Le

Soon after the action resumed, Corey Kempson doubled through Gary Benson and one table over, Tu Le scooped a pot against Marc Seymour.

The completed board showed {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} and Le bet 40,000 into a pot of around 70,000. Seymour called after a few seconds of consideration and mucked when Le tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for aces and treys with a king kicker.

"The Kiwis Go To War"

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Graeme Putt
Graeme Putt

Graeme Putt jammed for the last 11,600 and Hamish Crawshaw called from the button. The blinds got out of the way and Robert Spano joked "the Kiwis go to war."

Graeme Putt: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Hamish Crawshaw: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The board of {j-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs} delivered both overcards for Putt and he remained in contention.

Putt Eliminated by Angelakis

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Graeme Putt
Graeme Putt

Graeme Putt ended up all in and at risk before the flop and was called by Con Angelakis.

Putt tabled the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} and Angelakis held two live cards with the {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Angelakis seemed resigned to see Putt double after the {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop, but spiked the {10-Clubs} turn and {q-Diamonds} river.

"Sorry Graeme, I really didn't want to call. If you had a bit more, I would have folded," Angelakis apologized in table chat.

Campion and Fraser Depart

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Con Angelakis
Con Angelakis

Christopher Colaneri raised and was called by David Campion and Con Angelakis in the blinds. After a {j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Campion ended up all in with pocket sixes and Angelakis looked him up with the {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} for top pair. The {q-Diamonds} turn and the {4-Clubs} river were blanks and Campion departed with a "nice hand."

Exactly one hand later, Michael Fraser three-bet to 14,000. Colaneri reraised to 40,000 and snap-called the shove of Fraser for around 120,000.

Michael Fraser: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Christopher Colaneri: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} board ensured the second knockout in a row on table 10.
