Back-to-Back Doubles For Davies

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Robert Davies has started his own Adam Daniel-like comeback after winning back-to-back all-in hands.

The first saw Craig McCorkell shove from the small blind with {8-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Davies call with {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. The board ran {2-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{a-Hearts} to double him, then Davies pushed all-in for 197,000 over the top of a Philip Hepburn 55,000 raise and his {A-Spades}{10-Clubs} beat Hepburn's {K-Clubs}{10-Spades} with the community cards reading {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}.

Daniel Makes an Epic Comeback; Davies Decimated

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Adam Daniel and Robert Davies go to war preflop, Daniel holding {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and Davies {Q-}{Q-}. Davies had already chopped a massive pot while holding "ladies" and they were about to let him down again because the five community cards ran {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to double Daniel and leave Davies wondering what he has to do in order to win a pot.

Daniel Trebles; McCorkell and Davies Chop

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Adam Daniel
Adam Daniel

A massive pot was just played for at the table next to us. It started with an all-in bet of 75,000 from Adam Daniel under the gun and a three-bet to 150,000 from a couple of seats across. Craig McCorkell then made it 286,000 to go from the small blind, only for Robert Davies to move all-in for 644,000. Hepburn folded, but McCorkell called and a huge pot was created.

McCorkell: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Davies: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Daniel: {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Davies looked set to pull himself back into the game and was still ahead on the {4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop. McCorkell called for a six on the turn but it was the {A-Clubs}, which was followed into play by the {3-Spades}, putting a straight on the board, chopping the side pot with McCorkell and Davies and leaving Daniel to win the main pot courtesy of his six.

Joseph Townsend Eliminated in 12th place (£14,950)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Joe Townsend
Joe Townsend

Joe Townsend is the 12th place finisher after busting from the main event only a few moments ago.

Townsend opened to 51,000 from the cutoff and called when Chi Zhang three-bet to 151,000 from the small blind. A {5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop was continued on by Zhang who bet 130,000. Townsend responded with an all-in bet of 700,000 and Zhang called without much pause for thought.

Zhang: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Townsend: {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Zhang's top pair was ahead, but he needed to fade the flush draw to win the hand. The {9-Spades} turn gave Townsend a few more outs to a straight, but they failed to arrive on the {J-Diamonds} river, which sent Townsend to the rail.

Cullen Cripples Daniel

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Dominic Cullen moved all-in for 388,000 from the hijack seat and after much deliberation, Adam Daniel called in the big blind.

Cullen: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Daniel: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Cullen caught a queen on the river of the {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} board to leave Daniel with only 37,000 chips, but he trebled up a couple of hands later.

Daniel mumbled an expletive as the queen hits the river.

“I’m sorry.” Says Cullen.

“That’s ok…I would just rather see it on the flop.”

After that hand, Daniel was down to 37,000 but tripled up two hands later.

Betts Wins Battle of the Blinds

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Joe Townsend completed his small blind and Russell Betts checked from the big blind.

Townsend led for 30,000 on the {3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{J-Hearts} flop and Betts made the call. The {Q-Spades} was checked by both players, with Townsend checking the {6-Clubs} river, too. Betts fired 70,000 and was quickly called. Betts revealed {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks and Townsend mucked.
