Leprechaun Caught

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Cameron Cunningham
Cameron Cunningham

Cameron Cunningham had got into a raising war against Jack Salter, the latter pushing for 37,400 over a suspected four-bet to 11,600. Cunningham made the call with {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and Salter showed {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}, the board came {5-Spades}{K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs} making Cunningham two pair but crucially giving Salter a straight for a big pot.

Cunningham's remaining chips went in the next hand with pocket threes but ran into ace-jack.

Cody Eliminates Gill at the Feature Table

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Jake Cody
Jake Cody

We happened by the feature table just in time to see Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody eliminate Jonathan Gill.

It happened when action folded to Gill on the button and he raised to 2,200. The small blind folded and then Cody asked how much Gill had behind before spiking in a big three-bet. Gill called of for roughly 14,000 and the cards were turned on their backs.

Cody: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Gill: {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}

Gill was up out of his seat upon discovering his ace was no good. The {7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop saw him begin to grab his things, while the {K-Diamonds} turn paired Cody and left Gill drawing dead. As the meaningless {10-Hearts} was run out on the river for good measure, Gill shook hands with a few of the players and then took his leave from the tournament.

With that, Cody is up to 60,000. It appears he's been on quite the heater since being moved to the final table.

Three Hands with Dermot Blain

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Dermot Blain
Dermot Blain

Full Tilt Ambassador here at UKIPT Galway, Dermot Blain, is playing a stack of around 20 big blinds. Here’s how he got on when he played three hands.

Blain opened for 2,200 and Fraser Bellamy in the cut-off asked for a count. When he had it, he raised to 12,100. The blinds folded and Blain moved in for the rest of his chips. Bellamy thought for a while, had a few sips of his drink and decided to fold.

In the next hand, Blain again opened for 2,200 and met resistance from the same player Bellamy, who made it 12,100 from the button. The blinds folded and the action was back on Blain. This time he opted to fold.

Blain folded for the next half hour, but when he faced a bet of 2,100 from Tony Martin on the button, he called from the small blind. The big blind folded and we saw a flop two handed. {6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} Check / check was the players response. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}. Martin bet 2,000 and Blain called. The river was {10-Clubs}. Both players checked and Blain showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} to win the pot.

Where'd the Chips Go?

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A pretty unique situation just occurred on table 15. The action had reached the flop in an unraised pot between Frank Cruess-Callaghan and David Docherty blind on blind. At this point they'd realised that there was only 2,000 in the pot instead of 3,000 (two big blinds plus 10 antes). However no-one knew where the missing 1,000 had gone.

A member of the floor staff came along and ruled the hand would just have to proceed as normal. The mystery of the missing 1,000 chips will just have to remain unsolved.

Overheard on the loudspeakers, "Joseph Cattle, Joseph Cattle, please can you move your car as it's about to get towed..."

Blom Gone

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Viktor Blom
Viktor Blom

Viktor Blom has been eliminated.

"He called off with seven-six suited against eight-five offsuit!" claimed Nicky Power.

Ok, so that didn't really happen, however convincing Power tried to be. The truth was a lot less exciting, he ran jacks into Richard Evans' kings.
