Kellett and McCorkell Collide

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

From early position, Richard Kellett raised to 1,400 and was called by Simon Deadman and then Craig McCorkell.

Kellett led for 3,150 on the {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}, folding out Deadman, but McCorkell called.

Both players checked the {J-Diamonds} turn, with Kellett leading again on the {J-Hearts} river, making it 10,425 to play. It was enough to fold out McCorkell and leave Kellett to scoop the pot.

DTD's Rachel Heneghan Busts

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Rachel Heneghan is part of the Dusk Till Dawn social media and marketing team, but won her ticket to the £2,200 WPT UK Main Event a few weeks ago and chose today to play.

Her tournament has ended after getting her chips in with {K-}{K-} versus the {A-}{J-} of Mats Rosen. Running jacks on the turn and river were more than enough to end Heneghan's WPT dreams...for now.

Good Gets Mighall to Fold

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Phillip Mighall finished in fifth place in last year's WPT UK Main Event and is looking for at least a repeat performance. One way to ensure that happens is to conserve chips, which he did just now in a hand with Denise Good.

Good opened to 1,300 in middle position and then called when Mighall three-bet to 3,900. Good checked the Mighall on the {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop and Mighall bet 4,300. Good then check-raised to 15,000 and left herself 30,000 behind. While Mighall looked set to make a move, he ultimately decided to wait for a better spot to commit more of his chips.

Man Down

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Fabio Esposito has bust during Level 7 after a clash with Karol Radomski didn't go to plan. The chips went in preflop, Esposito's hopes were pinned on the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and he needed some help as Radomski held the slightly superor {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Radomski's grip on the hand tightened on the {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, further still on the {J-Spades} and he locked up the hand on the {A-Spades} river.

Sadler Loses a Flip to the Anonymous Man

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

The staff at Dusk Till Dawn respect that some players wish to remain anonymous and not have their names all over the internet; it will be interesting to see what happens if one of them wins a major tournament!

One such anon player just won a decent pot from John Sadler, leaving the latter with 12,000. Sadler's {6-}{6-} couldn't win the race against his opponents' {a-}{q-} which improved to two pair by the river.

102 players from the 148 starters remain.

Ji Set Eminoglu All-in

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Yucel Eminoglu is affectionately known as "The Mad Turk" thanks to his crazy style of play, but he showed some restraint in a hand with Min Ju.

Ji limped in from the button, Richard Hawes folded but Eminoglu raised to 2,600 in the big blind. Ji called after asking how many chips Eminoglu had behind (approx. 11,000).

Eminoglu check-called a 1,500 bet on the {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop before both players checked the {7-Diamonds} river. Eminolgu checked the {3-Spades} river and folded whe Ji set The Mad Turk all-in for his tournament life.
