Combes Cracks Pearson's Cowboys

Kai Cocklin

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Robert Davies opened to 6,000 from the hijack and Timothy Slater called from the cutoff before Trevor Pearson three-bet to 14,500 out of the small blind. Charles Combes then shoved from the big blind for 151,000, which got two quick folds out of Davies & Slater, and a snap-call out of Pearson.

Charles Combes: A♥K♠ All in
Trevor Pearson: K♣K♦

Whoever won the pot would leap to the top of the counts, and it was Combes' advantage after the 4♦A♦2♥ flop gave him top pair. Pearson only had one out, but couldn't find it as the 3♠4♠ runout meant his Cowboys went down in flames.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With 15,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 8♣9♦4♦, Trevor Reardon checked it over to Jason Barton, who fired 7,000. Reardon then check-raised to 22,000, and Barton called.

Both then checked to showdown on the 10♥ turn and 8♠ river where Barton's J♠9♠ was good, as Reardon mucked.

Moments earlier, Trevor Pearson and Andrew Probyn were eliminated.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Eriks Krumins was under the gun and shipped his stack of over 30,000 into the middle. When the action got to Raefe Tucker in the small blind, he made the call.

Eriks Krumins: K♥Q♥ All in
Raefe Tucker: A♠K♦

Krumins was dominated and found no help from the 10♣4♣8♠10♥7♣ board, which meant he was eliminated as the money bubble looms closer.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a board of 5♣J♣A♣10♦K♥, there were already around 40,000 chips in the pot when Nicholas Fellone and Tom Middleton checked it over to Barny Boatman, who fired 45,000. Fellone took his time to act and eventually called, then Middleton quickly mucked.

Boatman tabled K♠Q♦ for Broadway, and Fellone mucked his cards.

On the other tables, both Pierre Ostercamp and Martin Donoghue were eliminated.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Charles Combes opened to 8,000 on the button and Martyn Frey defended his big blind.

On the 4♦4♣9♦ flop, Frey check-called a bet of 6,000 from Combes to see the A♥ hit the turn. After Frey checked, Combes sized up with a bet of 35,000, and Frey quickly folded .

Combes has been on a heater in the past few orbits and now has well over half a million chips with just seven eliminations to go until the day ends.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Dritan Arapi made a big open to 17,500 from the hijack and Dan Spragg shoved from the small blind for 59,500. When it got back to Arapi, he called and covered his opponent by just 500.

Dan Spragg: A♥K♠ All in
Dritan Arapi: A♦J♣

Both players paired their ace on the A♣6♠3♠ flop, but it was the kicker that kept Spragg in the lead. No help arrived for Arapi on the 4♦ turn or 5♥ river, and he was left with just a fraction of a big blind.

"Chip and a chair mate, that's all you need," said Spragg.
