Updates From the Field

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Wenbin Chen has been eliminated from the feature table in 25th place. In another hand at the same table, Kevin Barden doubled with pocket kings through Giang Hong's pocket queens, which left the latter really short. Hong doubled up shortly after, but is still in the danger zone.

Out in the field, Kevin Allen doubled through Christopher Yong in a blind battle. Allen shoved {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} on a {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} board and got a call from less.

Kevin Barden raised to 21,000 in middle position. Sean Sullivan shoved his stack of around 100,000 on the button and Barden called to put Sullivan at risk.

Nicholas Hennessy Eliminated in 33rd Place (£2,420)

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Nicholas Hennessy's foray to the feature table turned out disastrous, as the former chipleader suddenly found himself standing at the rail after losing two massive hands.

In the first hand, Hennessy lost an 800,000 flip with {A-}{K-} against {8-}{8-}. Shortly thereafter Hennessey moved in for 328,000 with {10-}{10-}, only to be looked up by Fabio Miranda's {J-}{J-}. The board failed to provide help and just like that, Hennessy's 700k stack was gone.

Matt Perrins open-shoved around 150,000 in late position. It was folded to Christopher Yong in the big blind, who snap-called after looking at his cards.

Matt Perrins: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Christopher Yong: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The WSOP bracelet winner failed to improve on a {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} board, sending him to the rail in 34rd place.

Super short stack Hannu Matala Aho was eliminated on another table and finished 35th.
