Martin Kabrhel limped with {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} in the small blind, Stephen Chidwick raised to 60,000 with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} in the big blind, and Kabrhel called. Kabrhel outflopped Chidwick on a {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop and checked. Chidwick bet 35,000, Kabrhel check-raised to 160,000, and Chidwick called.

On the {3-Diamonds} turn, Kabrhel bet 299,000 and Chidwick called again. Kabrhel thoroughly double-checked his hole cards before moving all in for 599,000 on the {10-Clubs} river, and Chidwick folded.

Qiang Wang
Qiang Wang

The turned board had {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} face up and there was around 272,000 sitting in the middle. Michael Soyza led out for 200,000 and Qiang Wang moved his last 544,000 into the middle. Jason Koon shoved all in over the top and Soyza quickly folded his hand.

Qiang Wang: {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Jason Koon: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The two pair of Wang was ahead and the {7-Spades} river card did not change a thing as Wang took down the pot for more than a full double up.

Perkins Grabs Chip Lead, Doubles Big Through Rajkumar

Level 10 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Bill Perkins
Bill Perkins

Bill Perkins is the man of the hour in the London Hilton on Hyde Park as he netted a big double-up through former chip leader Vivek Rajkumar after tripling up earlier too.

It was Rajkumar who opened the action with a raise to 50,000 from under the gun holding {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Chin Wei Lim called to his left with {a-Clubs} and an unidentified card and Perkins called with {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

The {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop promised fireworks and Rajkumar checked his option with his straight flush draw. Lim checked, Perkins bet 55,000 with his set, Rajkumar check-raised to 215,000, Lim folded, Perkins three-bet to 655,000, and Rajkumar called.

On the {5-Clubs} turn, Perkins shoved all in for 915,000 and Rajkumar reluctantly called it off. The river was the {a-Spades} — "nice and clean," as Perkins would later say — and Perkins took the chip lead from his opponent late in the day.

Triton Co-Founder Yong Hits the Rail

Level 10 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Richard Yong
Richard Yong

After Paul Phua bowed out earlier, Triton co-founder Richard Yong also failed to find a bag to advance to Day 2 in the biggest poker tournament ever held. Already short-stacked, Yong got it in with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and got looked up by Wai Leong Chan, who held {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board drew nothing but blanks for the Malaysian and he headed for the rail.

Greenwood and Madden Flip for Stacks

Level 10 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Pat Madden
Pat Madden

Sam Greenwood opened to 45,000 from the hijack, Pat Madden three-bet to 185,000 in the cutoff and Greenwood quickly four-bet shoved all in for 771,000. Madden called for just a bit less and the two tabled their hands.

Pat Madden: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Sam Greenwood: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flop came down {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Greenwood now picked up a flush draw to go with his over. A {7-Hearts} peeled off on the turn, giving Greenwood a flush and the lead.

The {8-Clubs} river did not improve Madden's hand as he was eliminated by the flush of Greenwood during the last level of the day.
