Hayes Knocks Out Gartshore

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Colin Gartshore moved in from the button for his final 44,500 and his neighbor Christopher Swinden in the small blind called. Elliott Hayes over in the big blind squeezed to 144,500 and the Swinden sighed and released.

Colin Gartshore: {K-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Elliott Hayes: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

All Gartshore needed to do was hit a king for the triple, but he would fail to do so. Instead the board came {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Gartshore hit the rail in 38th place.

Cozens' Aces Hold

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Joe Grech opened to 15,000 from middle position and faced an all-in bet of 41,000 from John Cozens.

"I'd be happy if you called," said Cozens, "in fact I'd be really happy."

Grech called and before he could show his hand, Cozens revealed the reason for his happiness: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}.

"It doesn't matter," said Grech, "This is a good hand for cracking aces," before flipping over {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

Grech paired his six on the {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop and added an inside straight draw to his outs with the {10-Diamonds} turn. The {J-Hearts} was a couple of pips away from rescuing Grech and Cozens doubled up.

Stuart Can't Get Away from his Kings

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} we were just in time to see Day 1b chip leader Christopher Swinden bet out 25,000 from the big blind. His opponent was PokerStars staff member Martin Stuart, and he made the call.

Swinden bet another 25,000 on the {9-Diamonds} turn and again Stuart called. A comparable action was seen on the {6-Clubs} river. Swinden bet out 50,000 this time and Stuart called.

Swinden showed {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Stuart mucked. Stuart wasn't too happy with his own play. He admitted to have had kings, and muttered how bad his play was. "Oh well, nice hand" he said. Stuart has about 150,000 left (30 big blinds).

Ill-Timed Move Costs Allott Dearly

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Sometimes in poker you have to trust your gut and go with your instinct, unfortunately this sometimes doesn't go exactly to plan. Just ask David Allott who pushed his {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} into the monster {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} in the hand of Christopher Knights.

The {2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop kept Knights' kings in front and he seemed a little worried by the {4-Spades} turn because it gave Allott outs to a straight, but the {J-Diamonds} missed Allott completely and he's now heading to the cashier's desk to collect a min-cash.

Another One Bites the Dust

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

On a board of {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts} we saw Craig Sewell bet out 37,000 from the big blind. His neighbor John Lawson made the call. A third player, we believe was Frederick Field, shoved for 57,000 total. Sewell folded for just abit more, Lawson called as soon as he found out it was just a tiny bit more.

Somewhat confident the all in player showed {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, but he would soon hit the rail as Lawson rolled over {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

Two of the bigger stacks in the room, Lawson and Sewell, are seated right next to each other. Sewell has the advantage in chips, Lawson has the better position.

"This is the table of death," Christopher Corkhill said, "people just come here to die!"

Dylan Coady Bubbles the UKIPT Isle of Man Main Event

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Dylan Coady (grey jumper)
Dylan Coady (grey jumper)

Craig Sewell opened for 10,000 from early position and action quickly folded around to Dylan Coady in the big blind. The PokerStars VIP Club Manager moved in for 77,000 and Sewell wasted not much time calling.

Craig Sewell: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Dylan Coady: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

While the tournament floor announced the all in and call, all players remained in their seats, afraid of getting a 2-hand penalty for getting up during the bubble.

The flop came {J-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}, not connecting in any real way with Coady's hand. The {4-Spades} on the turn and {5-Hearts} on the river didn't either and just like that, during the first hand of hand for hand play, the tournament bubble bursted.

The remaining 47 players are now guaranteed £770. The next pay jump is at 39 where all players will get a minimum of £865.
