Hepburn Wins a Massive Pot

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Philip Hepburn has doubled up and is now armed with 265,000 chips.

On an {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop, Hepburn bet and was raised to 46,000 by Zahir Aslam. Hepburn responded with an all-in raise to 122,500, which sent Aslam into the tank. He stayed submerged for three minutes, replaying the hand back vocally. Eventually, with Hepburn sat with his head in his hands a couple of seat away, Aslam called.

Aslam made the call with {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and was in big trouble versus the {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} of Hepburn. The {10-Diamonds} turn was followed onto the felt by the {7-Spades} river. A huge pot for Hepburn.

Vinson Check-Raise Shoves

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

From early position, Richard Harris made it 2,600 to play and Jamie Whyte called from the cutoff. Ben Vinson called in the big blind so it was three-handed to the {2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. Vinson checked, Harris checked behind and Whyte bet 4,200. Vinson check-raised all-in for 28,000 and both of his opponents folded, leaving him to start the rebuild of his stack.

Alli Mallu Eliminates Roberto Romanello

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We just reported Anthony Romanello's exit hand and now we have details of Roberto Romanello's bust out.

One player raised, Alli Mallu three-bet and Romanello four-bet all-in. The initial raiser folded, but Mallu called with {A-}{J-}. Romanello turned the {9-}{9-} onto their backs and lost when Mallu caught a jack.

It's not been a great day for the players who've made their way to Nottingham from Wales because Robert Cowen has also bust.

Mizrachi Wins a Flip to Bust Romanello

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Anthony Romanello has bust at the hands of the seemingly unstoppable Michael Mizrachi.

Craig Varnell raised to 2,700 from the hijack, Mizrachi called from the cutoff and Romanello squeezed all-in from the button. Varnell folded, but Mizrachi called to put one half of the Romanello brothers at risk of elimination.

It was a coin flip scenario, Mizrachi holding {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Romanello {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. The {J-Diamonds} was the door card, which was followed into view by the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} to send Romanello to the rail.

Mallu Limp-Shoves and Wins

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Alli Mallu limped in from early position, Roberto Romanello limped in from the next seat along, before Yiannis Liperis made it 5,100 to go from Romanello's immediate left. The action then folded around to Tamer Kamel in the small blind and he called. Richard Hawes folded in the big blind before Mallu raised all-in for 115,000 or so chips.

Romanello get out of the way, as did Liperis, but Kamel seemed to be considering calling. As it happens, Kamel decided to save his chips for a better spot and mucked his hand.

Check It Down

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A hand between Martynas Vitkauskas and Adam Kossew started well with the former raising to 2,500 from middle position and the calling when Kossew three-bet from the cutoff to 5,400. However, both players opted for the passive route, checking down the {2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} board.

"Ace-high?" said Kossew, seemingly not sure if his hand was good?

"With a king?" asked Vitkauskas.

Kossew turned over {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and his opponent mucked.

Akindele-Deadman Trebles Up

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Shola Akindele-Deadman has trebled her stack after getting rather fortunate in a three-way all-in.

Akindele-Deadman found herself all-in with {A-}{Q-} and in bad shape against David Costillo's {A-}{A-} and Damon Bancroft-Hall's {Q-}{Q-}, but the board came to her rescue by improving her to a Broadway straight, the jack coming on the river.

Bankcroft-Hall was less fortunate and bust as Costillo has him covered. Ouch.
