Connelly Eliminated

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Aidan Connelly bet 25,000 on the flop of a {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} board before Tim Michels raised enough to put Connelly all in. The latter tanked for several minutes before calling off his stacks with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Michels flipped {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a pair and a gutshot.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Connelly looked devastated, now he needed one of three remaining eights in the deck otherwise he'd be eliminated. The river was another seven - {7-Spades} and Connelly's dreams were crushed. Michels is up to

Travers Done in by Salter at Feature Table

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

"All in and a call," we heard the dealer yell from the feature table. We made out way over to discover Ambrose Travers all in for his last 100,000 and at risk against Jack Salter. The former had shoved from the hijack with the {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and was out in front of Salter, who called from the big blind with the {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Salter said something about having clubs, but that didn't matter as the {k-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Spades} flop is what helped him by pairing his king. There's seems to always be a sweat in this game, and this hand was no different as the dealer burned and turned the {3-Hearts} to give Travers a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, it didn't come in as the {K-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. Travers was eliminated in 65th place.

Hung Out to Dry

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Hung Nguyen has become our latest casualty after he pushed for about 140,000 over Barry Donavan's late position raise, only to be snap-called by the latter.

Nguyen: {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Donovan: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Nguyen jumped ahead but the {10-Clubs} on the turn moved Donovan back in front. A {7-Spades} on the river meant nothing and Nguyen was made to hit the rail.

The Camel that Broke the Aces Back

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Keith “The Camel” Hawkins went all in for his last 20,000 and change with {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. He was called by PokerStars player Paul Glaister with {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}. It looked like it was all over for The Camel.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Runner, runner diamonds on the end to give Hawkins the nut flush and an unlikely win to survive.

“Worst beat so far.” another player felt moved to say, but Hawkins just laughed and gathered in the chips.

Daly Goes Broke

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Dimitri Pembroke opened to 13,000 preflop before James Daly moved all in behind him for around 70,000. Pembroke snapped and Daly looked like a boy with his fingers caught in the cookie jar, turning over {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Pembroke showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and duly won without too much of a sweat when the board came {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Pembroke is up to 170,000.
