Grafton Eliminated by Mohamed

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Sam Grafton started the action with a preflop raise from under the gun and the action ultimately led to him getting the chips in and Ahamed Mohamed doing so as well on the button. Both had near identical stack sizes and it was Mohamed at risk but holding the superior hand heading into the showdown.

Ahamed Mohamed: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Sam Grafton: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Once the {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop appeared, Mohamed vaulted out of his seat and already started grabbing his belongings. One of the oldest tricks in the history of live poker did its magic once more as the {k-Clubs} turn restored the preflop order. Nothing changed anymore with the {j-Hearts} river and Mohamed doubled for 197,000.

Grafton was down to 10,000 and forced all-in from the big blind next. Mohamed raised to 14,000 and forced out all other players.

Sam Grafton: {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Ahamed Mohamed: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

There was a faint glimpse of comeback until the {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs} turn but the {4-Spades} river spelled the end for the PokerStars ambassador.

Simmons Busts Ilyukhin

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Victor Ilyukhin Sr had nursed a short stack throughout the day and secured one pay jump. However, he then ultimately ran out of chips eventually. Down to the last 42,000, he shipped it in with the {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Paul Simmons tabled the {a-Spades}{7-Spades}.

Both paired up on the {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop, the {3-Diamonds} turn and {2-Spades} river then failed to improve Ilyukhin.

Running Up and Down the Field

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The very next all-in showdown over on table one featured a new arrival in Daniel Field, who put Eugenio Peralta to the test in a preflop contest.

Eugenio Peralta: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Daniel Field: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Peralta had the bets of it and prevailed thanks to the {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} board.

However, shortly after Field made up for the previous loss when his {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} held against the {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} of Hon Ban Lee. They got it in preflop once more and the {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board sent Lee to the rail.

Duta Left Short; Wang Hits Miracle River

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Angelos Nastos Megas has become the next player to run out of chips while Florian Duta was left very short and Lei Wang nailed a two-outer to escape from elimination.

Duta flipped with the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} against Lukas Dimsa with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. The Lithuanian got there on the {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and doubled for 123,000.

Moments later, Wang's last 62,000 went in preflop with {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Alex Whitenstall had him pipped by a notch with the {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} but saw the board run out {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}.

Essex Has the Field Advantage

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Richard Essex was the player at risk preflop for the final 130,000 with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and had the best of it against Daniel Field with the {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. The {q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board was not without sweat but the superior pair held up.

Saout Knocks Out Ene

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Florian Duta doubled through Antoine Saout and the next Romanian to get his chips in was Gabriel Ene, who three-bet jammed for around 90,000. Saout instantly flicked in a single chip for the call to put Ene at risk.

Gabriel Ene: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Antoine Saout: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop left Ene on the brink of elimination and he had zero equity on the {3-Spades} turn, which made the {10-Clubs} river a formality.

Jennings Still in the Mix

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Alex Jennings had doubled his very short stack when his dominating ace fell behind. He vaulted out of the chair but spiked his kicker to stay in contention. Only a few minutes later, he got it in again for 37,000 with the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and Alberto Speranzoni looked him up with {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

The {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts} board awarded yet another double up to Jennings. In the meanwhile, Stephen Lockett was spotted at the payout desk as the field was whittled down to the final 67 contenders.

Pavlov Loses Flip to Saout

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Atanas Pavlov
Atanas Pavlov

The action kicked off with a cutoff raise to 13,000 by Antoine Saout and Atanas Pavlov then three-bet to 48,000 out of the small blind with a stack of around 220,000. Saout then moved all-in and Pavlov called it off to create the following showdown.

Atanas Pavlov: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Antoine Saout: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop gave Saout trips aces and he retained the lead throughout the {6-Spades} turn and {k-Clubs} river.

Saade Felted by Trotter

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Eddie Saade
Eddie Saade

"Good game, unlucky man," the consolation came for Eddie Saade who had just bowed out on one of the corner tables. Paul Trotter had dealt the final blow as his {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} had made trips jacks on the {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} board. Saade was at risk preflop with fives and became the 70th place finisher.

Bashlawi Doubles Through Jennings

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a battle button versus small blind, Alex Jennings bet the {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop and Max Bashlawi called. The {a-Hearts} followed on the turn and Jennings check-shoved for Bashlawi to call all-in for 156,000.

Max Bashlawi: {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Alex Jennings: {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Jennings needed a nine or six to avoid a major blow to his stack but the {q-Diamonds} river bricked as he was left with around four blinds.

The new bigger stack on the table is Kully Sidhu, who has been steadily building chips in the first three hours of play.
