Andrew Hills
Andrew Hills

Andrew Hills was down to 43,000 in chips but now has a stack of 194,000.

He shared that most of his upswing happened in two hands. He said one hand didn't go to showdown but another hand he raised the button with tens and got some value from the player in the small blind who called with king-seven after a seven hit the flop.

Full House for Daouhadji

Level 16 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

There was about 250,000 chips in the middle with the {9-Hearts}{j-Spades}{k-Spades}{7-Spades}{j-Clubs} on the board when the action paused on Belmehel Dja Daouhadji.

After about three minutes, Daouhadji bet 100,000 with about 50,000 behind. A player under the nickname Mouloud paused for less than a minute before he called.

Daouhadji turned over {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a full house and won the hand after Mouloud mucked his hand.

Azapl Ousted

Level 16 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A player with the nickname Azapl was down to just 6,000 in chips. He was in the big blind and the rules at this event is that the big blind gets put in before the ante.

The action folded around to a player with the nickname Gaja who completed the blinds with {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Azapl turned over {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and was a favorite to double up until his opponent paired the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop.

Azapl began to leave the table as the {4-Spades} came on the turn and was officially eliminated after the {7-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

The action is just seven players away from the money with 86 players remaining after Azapl hit the rail.

Slow Action

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action is going slow on many of the tables with the short stacks taking their time, sometimes five minutes, before folding preflop.

This is expected to continue until the money is reached with players not calling the clock and no shot clock in play.
