Brennan Pulls Further Away

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Per Helge Gassand had already open-raised far bigger than usual in most tournaments and just did so again for 66,000 with the {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}. Keith Brennan three-bet with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and Gassand called. The flop brought {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and a bet of 135,000 did the trick for Brennan, who jumped to almost 1.5 million in chips.

Robert Franks Eliminated in 15th Place (€4,750)

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Robert Franks

Over on the outer table, Robert Franks was all in for 141,000 and big stack Joseph Ellis looked him up to set up the following showdown:

Robert Franks: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Joseph Ellis: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Franks flopped well with the {Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, improving to a pair of queens. The {K-Diamonds} on the turn was even better as he now held top two pair. However, it was all for nought, as the {10-Diamonds} river restored the preflop order with the nut straight for Ellis. Franks was eliminated in 15th place and takes home €4,750.

One for McCormack

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Keith Brennan raised with the {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Robbie McCormack called with {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} on the button. On the {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, Brennan bet 50,000 and McCormack raised to 130,000, which Brennan called. Both checked the {5-Spades} on the turn, and the {3-Clubs} on the river killed the action to award the pot to McCormick by virtue of the kicker.

Groblewski Doubles Through Ellis

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

On the outer table, Joseph Ellis moved all in out of the small blind to put ultimate pressure on short stack Jakub Groblewski, and a quick call followed to see both players turn over pocket pairs.

Jakub Groblewski: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Joseph Ellis: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

The board came {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Groblewski remained in contention.
