Unfortunately for all Kelly Saxby-fans out there, she just finished shy of the money.
Originally from New Jersey but now a resident of England, Saxby was all-in with 
against 
and failed to improve on a 
board.

Arno Simon raised to 9,000 in middle position. Wenbin Chen three-bet to 22,000 from the cutoff. Terry Jordon cold-called from the small blind and Simon called as well.
The flop came down 
and Jordon led out 30,000. Simon called and Chen folded after some thought. Jordon checked the 
turn to Simon, who bet 45,000. The start-of-the-day chipleader came along with the call.
The river was the 
and Jordon checked again.
"All-in", the Frenchman said within mere seconds.
Simon had Jordon covered, and the Brit was facing a decision for his tournament life seven places before the bubble. It was 152,000 to call for Jordon, who thought for nearly four minutes before open-folding 
.

We caught the tail end of a massive hand between Mateusz Moolhuizen and Vishal Maini, which left the two-time Unibet Open winner with nothing after the dust had settled.
According to Maini, the hand went as follows. Maini raised in early position and Moolhuizen defended his big blind. On the 
flop, Moolhuizen checked, Maini bet 5,000 into a pot of 19,000 and Moolhuizen called.
The turn was the 
and Moolhuizen checked again. Maini bet 15,000 and Moolhuizen check-raised to 45,000. The Brit smooth-called the raise in position.
On the 
river, Moolhuizen thought for a while before shoving all in around 80,000. Maini snap-called and had Moolhuizen slightly covered.

It was a case of ill timing for Moolhuizen, who ran into the stone cold nuts. With the scalp, Maini skyrocketed to 290,000 and Moolhuizen quickly left the tournament area.
