Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Henrik Hecklen
Henrik Hecklen

The action started with a cutoff raise to 40,000 by Julien Sitbon and Henrik Hecklen pushed for the last 240,000 in the small blind. Sitbon asked for a count and came along.

Henrik Hecklen: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Julien Sitbon: {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Sitbon said "that's a good start" to which Hecklen asked for a nine on the turn. Instead, the {2-Hearts} appeared but Hecklen still had plenty of outs at his disposal. The river was another blank as the {10-Hearts} paired the board to eliminate Hecklen in 19th place for £4,477.

Sidhu Doubles Through Hecklen; Hao Chips Up

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Henrik Hecklen was all-in before the flop and Kully Sidhu also got his last 215,000 in as well.

"I think you gonna win this time," Hecklen said even though he was ahead with {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} versus {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The prediction of the Dane came true on the {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades} board and both switched positions on the leaderboard.

Sidhu was then all-in with {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} against the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} of Liudas Didenka and there was no four-card flush shenanigans.

In the meanwhile, Dongze Hao had a bet worth 200,000 on the {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{a-Clubs} river paid off by Rickie Vedhara. Hao rolled over the {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a full house to chip up further and consolidate his big stack.

The shove by Saout was then called by Whitenstall to create the following showdown.

Whitenstall's pair and flush draw was up against aces with the nut heart blocker. No help came along on the {7-Spades} turn and the {7-Clubs} river ensured that the rich got richer. Whitenstall's exit in 20th place comes with a payday of £4,477.

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Raymond Caabay
Raymond Caabay

Raymond Caabay was the far shortest stack on his table and waited for a spot to get the chips in. Some six and a half blinds were at his disposal in the cutoff and that's when he jammed. Dongze Hao in the big blind glanced at his cards and snap-called when it was his turn to act.

Raymond Caabay: {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Dongze Hao: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Caabay spiked an open-ender on the {10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop to have a guaranteed chance at survival no matter what the next card were. The turn was the {a-Clubs} and the {5-Spades} river send Caabay to the payout desk to collect £3,895 for the efforts.

Alberto Speranzoni

Alex Whitenstall moved all-in once to steal the blinds and antes. He then raised to 40,000 and Antoine Saout eyeballed his stack before making it 110,000 to go from one seat over. Out of the big blind, Alberto Speranzoni also checked Whitenstall's stack, who counted it out, and the Italian then moved all-in for around 650,000.

Whitenstall folded and Saout snap-called.

Alberto Speranzoni: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Antoine Saout: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Speranzoni knew even before he rolled over the cards that his pocket pair was dominated. The {k-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board delivered no help and that spelled the end for Speranzoni in 22nd place for £3,895.
