Antoine Saout Eliminated in 4th Place (£67,000)

[user76023] • Level 27: 25,000-50,000, 5,000 ante

It was passed to Ben Warrington who moved all in to cover Antoine Saout. The Frenchman tanked for a minute, shrugged and called off his 800,000 remaining chips.

Warrington: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Saout: {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}

The flop was {8-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and all signs pointed to a chop which would happen around 65% of the time. Saout needed to a six to win or needed an eight or higher for a chop.

The {3-Diamonds} came on the turn and Warrington's seven kicker was still playing, the river was the {5-Diamonds} and the pair of kings with an ace-eight-seven kicker was enough to beat Saout's ace-eight-six kicker. The finest of margins.

Ben Warrington opened to 110,000 preflop and Phillip Mighall moved all in for his final 275,000 or so. Warrington made a quick call.

Warrington: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Mighall: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The board came {5-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{A-Spades} and Warrington moved ahead. Mighall needed a red deuce but it didn't come on the {9-Diamonds} turn or {9-Spades} river. Mighall goes out in 5th place for £48,000.

Saout Folds to Big River Raise

[user76023] • Level 26: 20,000-40,000, 5,000 ante

Antoine Saout opened to 90,000 from the cutoff and Matas Cimbolas called on the button. The flop was {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Saout fired 100,000 which Cimbolas called.

Both players checked the {9-Spades} turn before Saout made a bet of 165,000 on the {6-Spades} river. Cimbolas tanked and then raised to 665,000. With all the thinking at each stage of this hand, it had already gone over the 10-minute mark. Finally Saout folded, leaving himself with just 20 big blinds.

Warrington Leaves Mighall Short

[user76023] • Level 26: 20,000-40,000, 5,000 ante

In a limped pot, blind on blind, Ben Warrington led out for 60,000 on a {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{A-Clubs} board. Phillip Mighall called to see the {4-Clubs} turn. Warrington checked and Mighall bet 130,000. Warrington made the call to see the {10-Hearts} on the river.

Warrington checked and Mighall bet 250,000. Warrington thought then made the call.

Mighall turned over {Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Warrington scooped with a rivered pair of tens - {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Saout Beats Cimbolas

[user76023] • Level 26: 20,000-40,000, 5,000 ante

Matas Cimbolas opened to 80,000 preflop, Antoine Saout called in the small blind.

Mighall Doubles Through Cimbolas

Phillip Mighall moved all in for 425,000 from the button and Matas Cimbolas called in the big blind.

Mighall: {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Cimbolas: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The {J-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop didn't look good for Mighall but the {6-Diamonds} on the turn put him into the lead. The {8-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing and Mighall survived. Cimbolas slipped into second place meaning Ben Warrington is now the chip leader.

Small Pot for Saout

[user76023] • Level 26: 20,000-40,000, 5,000 ante

Anotine Saout raised to 80,000 and Tamer Kamel called in the big blind. The flop was {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and Kamel check-folded to a 95,000 bet. It's all still a bit cagey, no-one wants to make a mistake, especially with Phillip Mighall so short at this point.
