David Lappin only recently doubled his stack when his pocket threes held against ace-queen, but he's lost those chips to Scott Byron.
Nick Smith opened from the button and Lappin three-bet all-in from the small blind. Byron then reshoved over the top of Lappin for 175,000 and Smith folded. Lappin had Smith covered by 87,000 and would eliminate him if his could pair up versus the . However, the board ran a jacks-friendly to knock Lappin back down to a push-or-fold stack.
Robert Campbell was first to act in the small blind and he decided to complete the small blind instead of raising. Paren Arzoomanian, in the big blind, raised to 25,000 and was called by Campbell.
Campbell then checked the flop, opening the door for Arzoomanian to bet 25,000 chips, but no sooner had he done that, Campbell check-raised to 75,000. Arzoomanian looked at how many chips Campbell had behind before seind his cards into the muck.
On a three-way contested flop reading , Adam Chocholas was already all-in and at risk of elimination. The two players with chips in front of them were John Cozens and Jordan Johnson.
Cozens bet all-in for 122,000 and Johnson folded. Cozens showed and was way ahead of Chochola's and when the turn and river fell and it was game over for Chochola.
Both David Longmate and Paul Quirk bust almost immediately after the redraw, leaving the tournament with only 22 players.
Quirk bust when Jordan Johnson set him all-in for the rest of his short stack in a battle of the blinds. Quirk called with and was up against and when the board ran it was game over for Quirk.
David Hill moved all in for 166,000 from the cutoff and action folded to David Clarkson in the big blind. He was a fair bit shorter than that and called all in.
David Hill:
David Clarkson:
The board ran out and with that, the tournament was down to 24 players. Play was halted at all tables and a redraw was in the make soon enough. We'll report back to you as soon as we have the new seating.
Dawid Białas moved all in under the gun and before we even got an exact count, John Lawson on the button had made the call. Both blinds folded and it was time to open up their cards.
Dawid Białas:
John Lawson:
Białas was filming the entire hand and soon found out he was taping his own exit: on the flop. The hit the turn and the river, and Białas hit the rail.
"Good luck" he said as he made his way to the pay out desk.
