Papushi Doubles Through Tadj-Saadat

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Rahim Tadj-Saadat opened the action with a raise to 75,000 and Darren Mapley as well as Petrit Papushi called out of the blinds. On the {7-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} flop, Papushi bet 200,000 and called all in after Tadj-Saadat had moved all in. It was the {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} for Papushi and {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} for his opponent.

Neither the {5-Spades} turn nor the {8-Clubs} river changed anything and Papushi scored his third vital double up in the past hour.

Kenny Can

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Michel Melkert raised and was called by Darren Mapley as well as Kenny King in the big blind. After a flop of {4-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {A-Spades}, King check-raised all in after Melkert had bet 125,000 and Mapley called. Melkert folded to remain very short but Mapley called for another 580,000 on top.

Mapley: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
King: {2-Spades} {8-Spades}

The {5-Clubs} turn was a brick, but the {3-Spades} river gave King a flush and he doubled up.

Rahim Tadj-Saadat Eliminated in 8th Place (£2,980)

Rahim Tadj-Saadat - 8th place

Darren Mapley raised to 100,000 from under the gun and found two callers in Rahim Tadj-Saadat as well as Jesus Gracia in the big blind. On a flop of {7-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, Gracia checked and Mapley continued for 300,000. Tadj-Saadat now moved all in for 750,000 and the Spaniard quickly folded. Almost as fast was the call of Mapley:

Tadj-Saadat: {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}
Mapley: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

The {4-Clubs} turn gave Tadj-Saadat additional outs with the straight draw, but ultimately the {3-Hearts} river was a brick and sent him to the rail in 8th place.

Mapley versus Pacifico

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Darren Mapley raised to 100,000 and called the three-bet of Lucio Pacifico for 265,000 out of the big blind. After a flop of {4-Hearts} {9-Spades} {A-Diamonds} both players checked and Pacifico then bet 350,000 after the {10-Spades} turn. Mapley didn't go anywhere and slid forward the chips for a call. On the {A-Spades} river, Pacifico gave up the pot and folded to the aggression of his opponent.

Mapley is the new chip leader, as he got slightly more than Laurence Essa.
