Southavong Eliminated by Alessi

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The completed board was down {8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Spades}, and Christian Alessi bet enough to put Bruno Southavong all in.

Southavong contemplated his decision for a minute before he called and saw the bad news.

Alessi tabled {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a full house and Southavong open-mucked {a-}{6-} before he departed from the table.

Ireland Eliminated by McKeown

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

McKeown: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Ireland: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Board: {2-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Xanthopoulos: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Board: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{q-Spades}

Full House For Watts

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The completed board was down {j-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, and the pot between Steve Watts and Martin Bader had escalated up to 50,000.

In front of Watts was a 35,000 bet from the big blind and Bader was in the tank.

Bader himself had a large stack worth around 165,000 and needed a couple of minutes to think before he ultimately decided to call.

Watts revealed {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a full house, and Bader mucked before he later told Watts he held {a-}{10-}.

Martinez vs. Castillo

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Raul Martinez raised to 2,700 from the hijack and saw Jose Castillo three-bet to 8,300 from the cutoff.

Martinez called after the action folded back to him and they went heads-up to a {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop.

Martinez check-called a 6,000 bet from Castillo and after the turn fell the {10-Hearts} both players checked.

The river fell the {k-Hearts} and Martinez thought for close to 90 seconds before he took over the betting lead and placed 24,000 into the middle. Castillo only needed a few seconds to think himself, before he passed his cards to the dealer and conceded the pot.
