Insatiable Unger

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Senh Ung is flying high here in the Isle of Man and is now armed with 82,000 chips.

With the flop reading {5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, Sean O'Connell, an Isle of Man native, bet 1,600 from the big blind, Ung called and Simon Hamilton, in the hijack, stepped out of the way. O'Connell fired a second barrel on the {3-Spades} turn, one weighing in at 1,975. Again, Ung called.

The river brought the {10-Spades} into play and O'Connell set the price to play at 2,000. Ung raised to 5,000 and after much deliberation.

Ung turned over {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and won the pot when O'Connell revealed {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

"It's Yours Mate"

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

On a board of {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} we saw Dara O'Kearney check from early position. Stephen Charlton in middle position bet 4,000 and O'Kearney called without much hesitation.

"It's yours mate" Charlton said. O'Kearney smiled, showed {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, and gathered the chips as Charlton mucked.

Chafak Continues to Climb

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Sara Chafak
Sara Chafak

Finland's Sara Chafak called preflop in early position and watched on as the rest of her opponents folded in turn to Ted Spivak in the small blind. Spival completed the small blind, only to see Sunil Moti raise to 900 from the big blind. Only Chafak called the raise, meaning it was heads-up to the {3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop.

Moti bet 1,100 and then instantly called when Chafak raised to 2,500. Moti tapped the table and checked when the {A-Diamonds} appeared on the turn, Chafak continued her aggression with a 3,225 and Moti released his hand.

Hanz de Vries the Last One to Re Enter

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Hanz de Vries
Hanz de Vries

Hanz de Vries lost most of his chips in a flush over flush situation. After that hand he was down to 2,500 in chips and just a couple of minutes time to re enter. He pushed his remaining chips in with {8-}{3-} and ran into {8-}{8-}. He lost that hand but was able to re enter.

He was just in time though, as after four levels of play registration has now closed.

Saxby's C-Bet Gets The Job Done

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

From early position, former New Jersey native Kelly Saxby raised to 800 and found callers in the shape of Luca Pagano in the next seat and Christopher McNicholls in the seat to the immediate left of Pagano.

A flop reading {J-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} saw Saxby lead for 1,600, a price none of her opponents were willing to pay and she scooped the pot.

A Quartet of Counts

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

The early stages of this tournament have been kind to David Lloyd as is evident by the fact he's almost doubled his starting stack.

At the opposite end of the spectrum is Deborah Worley-Roberts whose 25,000 chips have been reduced to 5,500.

Moneymaker Bets Big

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Antonius van Ingen opened under the gun for 700 and action folded to Chris Moneymaker in the small blind. The Team Pro three bet to 1,950 and Van Ingen called.

The flop came a coordinated {4-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}, but this didn't slow Moneymaker down. He bet 2,500 and Van Ingen called.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Moneymaker continued for 7,000. Van Ingen, with about 27,000 behind at this point, folded rather quickly.

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
David Nuth
David Nuth

As the players were heading out for their 15-minute break, a massive pot was won at Table 2. The dealer was feverishly counting the stacks of David Nuth and Antonis Poulengris to see who had who covered.

The player was was in seat one had already left the tournament area and he would soon be followed by Poulengris as Nuth had the larger of the two stacks.

All three players found themselves all-in on a {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop, Poulengris holding {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, Seat 1 {9-}{9-} and Nuth the {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for the nuts! A {4-Diamonds} turn was followed into play by the {3-Spades} river and Nuth soared up to 130,000 chips and is easily the chip leader in this tournament.
