Peebles Eliminated by Salih

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Robin Peebles
Robin Peebles

In a heads-up pot to the {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} turn, Shay Salih checked and then called a bet worth 22,000 by Robin Peebles. The {k-Hearts} fell on the river and Salih checked once more. Peebles moved all-in for around 45,000 and Salih snap-called to roll over the {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for two pair.

Peebles sent his cards into the muck and walk out of the tournament area.

Registration for Day 1a Closed

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

While the start of the first flight was slow and steady, the field increased significantly after the early dinner break. Ultimately, a field of 191 entries and that has already created a prize pool of £183,360. Day 1b is expected to be far bigger and the turbo heat 1c then follows at 6pm local time to round up the trio of starting days.

Kehoe Eliminated by Taylor

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Stephen Kehoe was all-in for just 12,500 and in dire shape when he was looked up by Ken Taylor from one seat over.

Stephen Kehoe: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Ken Taylor: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The dominated pair found no help on the {q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} runout as the field was reduced further. No longer featured on the same table is Kalman Dohany either, as he was knocked out by Sam Grafton a few minutes ago.

Pranaitis Chips Up With Aggression

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Denas Pranaitis had raised from under the gun and then faced resistance by Mauricio Ferreira Pais, who squeezed to 19,000 in the big blind. Pranaitis' reraise to 40,000 forced out potential other players as Ferreira Pais already pondered about his next move and opted to call.

Both checked the {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop and Ferreira Pais check-folded the {8-Clubs} turn when Pranaitis bet 16,500. The table broke right after as Raj Verma was eliminated on another table to reduce the field to the final 56 players.

Speranzoni Chips Up

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On the tail end of a heads-up pot, the action checked to Alberto Speranzoni with the board showing {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Speranzoni loudly counted his stack before he bet 22,000 and his opponent was somewhat irritated but called anyways.

Speranzoni tabled the {q-Spades}{6-Spades} for the second nuts and won a decent pot.

Wilson Eliminated in Three-Way All-In

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Dan Wilson
Dan Wilson

One of the anonymous players pushed all-in for 8,500 and Mauricio Ferreira Pais called from one seat over in the cutoff. Dan Wilson then went over the top on the button for his last 36,500, which Ferreira Pais called after some consideration.

A. A. S.: {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Dan Wilson: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Mauricio Ferreira Pais: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades} flop left "A. A. S." and Wilson in dire shape and the {2-Clubs} turn sealed their fate, making the {2-Spades} river a formality.

Duta Eliminated by O'Driscoll

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Florian Duta was not too pleased when he was just reluctantly called for the last 17,000, seated on the right of the dealer while Conor O'Driscoll was on the other side of the table.

Florian Duta: {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Conor O'Driscoll: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The kicker played on the {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Hearts} board and Duta quickly left the tournament area.
