Just a Small Pair

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

The extremely talkative Will Kassouf opened for a raise and then called when Antoni Romanello, brother of Roberto, three-bet all-in from the button.

"I've just a small pair," said Romanello as he turned over anything but a small pair in {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

"I've got a straight flush draw!" said Kassouf as he showed {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

The flop fell {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and Kassouf asked the dealer for another club. The turn was black but a spade, the {J-Spades}.

"Oh. Never mind," said Kassouf.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Romanello doubled-up.

Kassouf was left with 2,200 chips going into the next hand.

Kassouf Doubles

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

"I'm going to make a one-handed bluff," announced Will Kassouf.

"Who wants some? I'll give it to ya!" he followed with before moving all-in.

James Clarke reraised to 4,200 and everyone else folded.

Clarke showed {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Kassouf the {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. A final board reading {10-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades} secured Kassouf a double.

Sanchez Cano is Back in Business

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Mario Sanchez Cano finished as runner-up in the £5,250 buy-in High Roller for £60,000 and is still in the hunt for the pries in the Main Event. He's just doubled to 43,000 after he three-bet all-in for 19,500 over the top of a David Lloyd open. Lloyd called, showing {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Sanchez the {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

A nine-high board reading {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades} doubled Sanchez and left Lloyd with 10 big blinds.

Hulme Cut Down

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Andrew Hulme, known as "stato_1" online, has seen his stack cut to 38,000 after losing a coinflip with Lukas Dimsa. Hulme's {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} needed some help to beat Dimsa's lowly {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Help failed to arrive as the dealer spread the {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades} board, doubling Dimsa to a respectable 40,000.

Chattaway and Mizrachi Flying High

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

As the tenth and final level rapidly approaches completion, both William Chattaway and Michael Mizrachi find themselves in the envious position of have oodles of chips in front of them. Chattaway had 168,000 while Mizrachi has almost a quarter of a million chips at his disposal.

Roberto Romanello is doing great too, having turned 30,000 into 65,000 in less than four levels having only sat down after the dinner break.

Kassouf Knocked Out

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Will Kassouf's attempts to claw his way back into contention in the main event have been futile as he's now sitting on the sidelines with a drink in his hand.

Kassouf informed us that after doubling once more, he got his chips in with {K-}{Q-} versus {J-}{J-}. The player with the jacks flopped a set, but Kassouf picked up an open-ended straight draw. Sadly for Kassouf, and fans of his, the board bricked off and his run in the 2015 WPT UK Main Event ended.

Viscomi Slays Sly

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Chris Sly's Main Event run is over after a clash with Luigi Viscomi.

All the chips went piling into the middle with the board reading {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, Sly holding {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Viscomi the {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for a straight. The {A-Diamonds} was not what Sly needed to stay in the tournament and he shook hands with Viscomi before exiting the tournament area.

Chi Zhang Stacks Rhys Jones

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Chi Zhang raised to 2,200 and Rhys Jones three-bet to 25,000. Thinking that Jones was all-in, Zhang tossed forward a handful of chips and turned over {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, but Jones still have three or four thousand behind. The floor was called and ruled that Zhang had to call the 25,000 bet but had the option to bet or fold after the flop.

The flop came {7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{J-Clubs} and Zhang bet nough to set Jones all-in. Jones called and showed {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and didn't catch up on the {4-Clubs} turn or {A-Spades} river. Game over.
