Nador Busts to Field

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Jerome L'Hostis, Mirjan Hykaj and Tony Ringe have all been eliminated and Tamas Nador followed suit soon after. Nador was all in for 35,000 with the {9-Spades}{8-Spades} and Joseph Field in the small blind reshoved with {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}.

The board of {Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} gave Nador hope on the turn only to take it away on the river.

Beevers Gets There Again

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Joe Beevers had previously doubled in fortunate fashion after going into the showdown with the dominated hand. And Beevers would just do so again to remain in contention.

Mohammed Suhail limped in the cutoff and Benjamin Morrison raised to 7,200 in the small blind. Beevers three-bet all in for 25,100 in the big blind, forcing out Suhail, while Morrison glanced over to his table neighbor and called right after.

Joe Beevers: {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Benjamin Morrison: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The board came {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} and Beevers hit the three-outer on the river.

Small Chip Changes Only

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Thomas Wenner has taken over the role of chip leader on his table while Jeremy Pantin and Espen Uhlen Jorstad dropped slightly.

Pantin was involved in a hand with Jonas Ketelsen and both ended up checking through the turn and river of a board {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Pantin showed a pair, but Ketelsen had that beat with {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Defending London Champion Van Lancker Eliminated

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Peter Kaae raised to 4,500 and was called by Mirjan Hykaj. Defending Unibet Open Champion [Removed:158] three-bet all in for 28,500 and just Kaae called to put the Belgian at risk.

[Removed:158]: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Peter Kaae: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board of {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} improved Kaae to a flush on the river and that spelled the end for Van Lancker's attempt to defend his title at "The Vic." Below are the chip counts of the remaining eight players of the last table in the main tournament area.

Polito Builds Stack

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Laurent Polito faced a raise to 4,000 by Alvaras Baranauskas in the hijack and called on the button, as did Daniil Ellis in the big blind. On a flop of {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, Ellis et 5,100 and Baranauskas folded, Polito called.

The {K-Spades} on the turn resulted in the check by Ellis and a bet of Polito for 13,500, which the Bulgarian called. Ellis then checked the {10-Spades} river and Polito made it 21,500 to go, picking up a call after brief consideration from Ellis.

Polito rolled over {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a straight and Ellis mucked.

Vuoksenmaa and Bacri Eliminated

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Jorma Vuoksenmaa
Jorma Vuoksenmaa

Clement Tripodi raised to 4,000 and was called by Jorma Vuoksenmaa and Tobias Andersen in the blinds. On the {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop, the action checked to Tripodi and he continued for 5,500. Vuoksenmaa check-raised all in for 31,500 and that forced a quick fold from Andersen.

Tripodi asked for a count and was visibly unhappy, knowing the tight table image of Vuoksenmaa. However, the Frenchman did call and turned over {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for top pair. Vuoksenmaa had {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for a flush draw and the {6-Spades} turn and {4-Spades} river blanked off.

Soon after Guillaume Bacri departed from the same table. It was Andersen that raked in the pot and the Dane confirmed what happened. Jerome L'Hostis had raised to 5,000 and Andersen three-bet to 16,000 with pocket kings. Bacri four-bet all in for more than 50,000 with {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and L'Hostis folded, Andersen called.

Despite the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop that gave him a set, Andersen had a sweat due to Bacri's flush draw, but two blanks followed.

Updated Counts

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Erik Le Goff three-bet shoved out of the small blind to force a fold from Mateusz Moolhuizen in the cutoff. Nicolas Proust is no longer among the biggest stacks on the two remaining outer tables as Peter Kaae has caught up on him on the same table, while Clement Tripodi remains the biggest stack in the main tournament area.
