Jackson Jr. Doubles Through Payne

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Ben Jackson has doubled to 28,225 and is almost back to his starting stack.

Mark Payne fired a bet of 3,000 from the small blind on a {K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop, one player folded and Jackson moved all-in for 11,725. Payne called and showed {A-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and Jackson the {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for two pair.

The {7-Spades} turn was followed by the {9-Spades} river and Jackson doubled.

Johnson's Snowmen Melted

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Mitch Johnson raised to 500 from under the gun, Steven Anderson three-bet to 1,350 from a few seats across and Johnson called.

Johnson then check-called a 2,200 bet on the {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flrop, before leading out for 3,400 on the {7-Hearts} turn. Anderson called and it was off to the {3-Clubs} river. Johnson bet 9,000 and was quickly called.

Anderson showed {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a flush, melting the {8-}{8-} of Johnson.

"The Rock" Finds Kings

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Paul "The Rock" Romain opened to 450 from early position and found callers in Shane Hellyer (small blind) and Colin Rogan (big blind).

Hellyer checked the {3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop, as did Rogan, although the latter called when Romain continued with a 550 bet. That was the last of the betting as both players checked down the {8-Clubs} turn and {5-Hearts} river, Romain's {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} being superior to the {5-Spades}{2-Spades} of Rogan.

Slater Takes on Jackson

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Asif Raja raised to 600 from early position and four players called. On the {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop, the action checked to Raja who bet 1,600 and received three callers.

The {Q-Spades} fell on the turn and everyone checked to Paul Jackson who bet 2,100, a bet that only Jonathan Slater called. The {10-Hearts} completed the board, Jackson bet 2,100 and Slater called, showing {8-Spades}{6-Spades} for a flush, besting the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} of Jackson.

History Almost Repeats Itself

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Earlier today, Chris Gordon bust when his ace-king lost to the ace-king of Peter Wigglesworth when the board four flushed.

The same almost happened to Julien Rouxel who got his chips into the middle with ace-king versus Tamer Kamel's {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. A heart on the flop and the turn gave Rouxel a sweat but a diamond not a heart on the river saw the pot chopped.

Wheels All Over

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Two players just chopped a pot after both improving to a Wheel straight. Mats Rosen opened the betting to 700 from middle position, James Akenhead called in the hijack and Paul Ephremsen called in the big blind.

The {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop was checked to Rosen who bet 1,200 and was called by both of his opponents.

Ephremsen led for 1,500 on the {A-Spades} turn, Rosen raised to 4,500, Akenhead called and so did Ephremsen.

All three players checked the {10-Diamonds} river, Ephremsen showed {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for a straight, Rosen the {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for the same straight and Akenhead mucked.
