Docherty Eliminated by Jennings

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alex Jennings
Alex Jennings

Alex Jennings soared to a bigger stack after the dinner break and that one grew even bigger when he knocked out David Docherty. The board was already completed and showed {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} when Docherty jammed for 19,200. Jennings went into the tank and eventually called to get shown the {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} by Docherty, which he had beat holding the {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for the top pair with a weak kicker.

Gold Back on the Rise; Sidhu Doubles

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

James Gold pushed all-in for 39,500 on the {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} river while in the big blind. He only faced Mantas Urbonas on the button, who tanked for a while and then eventually called. Gold tabled the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the nut flush and Urbonas briefly showed his cards before sending them into the muck.

At the same time, Kully Sidhu was at risk for just 10,100 with the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} and Bhavin Khatri made the call with the {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}. The superior hand preflop prevailed on the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} board and Sidhu avoided another re-entry for now.

Peffly Pays Off Ferreira Pais

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Alex Peffly was sent into the tank and he eventually called. Ferreira Pais tabled the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for the top pair and that ended up as the winning hand.

Labat Back with a Bang

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Timothy Chung raised to 1,600 from under the gun and a short stack jammed for 16,200 from two seats over. Antoine Labat went all-in over the top from the big blind and Chung folded.

Short stack: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Antoine Labat: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

The {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop provided some more equity for the player at risk but the {4-Clubs} turn and {10-Clubs} river not only kept Labat in the lead but improved the Frenchman to the nut flush.

Eminoglu and Athar Lead the Pack

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Two big stacks have emerged after the dinner break. Ben Slack and Yucel Eminoglu have six-figure stacks at their disposal and it was also Eminoglu who knocked out Shah Athar to add further chips. "King three is a good hand, no?" he asked in table chat with a big smile on the face as he raked in the chips.

Khatri Out for Now

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Bhavin Khatri had spun up a short stack once before the dinner break but was then reduced to fumes in a previous showdown. The remainder of the tiny stack went in preflop with {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Gediminas Labukas called with the {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Only one overcard was not enough on the {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts} board as the sixes held for Labukas.
