Cracked Full Houses, All Ins Blind, Bustouts; the Highs and Lows of Andrew Tuxworth

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Andrew Tuxworth
Andrew Tuxworth

In a six way limped pot, the flop was {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Andrew Tuxworth checked from the small blind and Nik Conlon bet out from the big blind. Action folded around to Tuxworth, who moved all in. Conlon called.

Andrew Tuxworth: {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Nik Conlon: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Tuxworth had trip twos on the flop and Conlon had a full house with fives full. The turn fell the {j-Hearts} and the river came the {8-Hearts} to give Tuxworth a full house. It wasn't enough, however, and Conlon scooped a huge pot, leaving Tuxworth decimated.

Tuxworth then shoved all in blind, not once, but twice. On the second hand, he was called by Syed Kirmani.

Andrew Tuxworth: {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Syed Kirmani: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The flop came {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades} to give Tuxworth a pair of fours. Moments after looking like he was about to exit the tournament, Tuxworth had doubled up twice to bring his stack back to nearly 250k.

His run of good fortune didn't continue much longer though. A few hands later, Tuxworth was eliminated from the event.

Jonathan Mccann raised from middle position and Brandon Shiels reraised to 46,000. Jack O'Neill four-bet to 210,000, which was most of his stack. Action folded back around to Mccann, who shoved all in. Shiels folded and O'Neill made the call.

"Am I drawing dead or drawing to three outs?", said O'Neill as players flipped their cards.

Jack O'Neill: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Jonathan Mccann: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

"Ahh, three outs," said O'Neill.

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, bringing O'Neill no help. He was eliminated from the tournament with just a few players left to go before the money.

"There's logic to it" - McDermott Shoves and Busts

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jack McDermott
Jack McDermott

Julien Sitbon made a late position raise and was called by Jack McDermott in the small blind for a decent chunk of his short stack. Marian Dumitrache also called in the big blind.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and action checked around to Sitbon, who bet 15,000. Dumitrache called and all other players folded. The turn was the {2-Hearts}. Dumitrache checked and Sitbon bet 55,000. Dumitrache folded.

After the hand, McDermott explained his actions to the player to his right. "There's logic to it," he said, speaking of the preflop call he had just made. "If I hit any of the flop I can shove, but if I completely whiff it I can just fold."

The next hand, McDermott found his spot to make a shove. Sohail Hussain raised from late position and McDermott moved all in. Players flipped their cards.

Jack McDermott: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Sohail Hussain: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

McDermott's logic was proved right as he was a favorite going into the flop, although he did proclaim, "That's not the hand I wanted to see."

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, giving Hussain a great number of outs on the flop. He paired up on the turn and made trips on the river. McDermott was eliminated from the tourney inside the money.

Jiaze Li
Jiaze Li

Jiaze Li and Nikolai Mamut were all in preflop following raises and reraises, with Li at risk for 670,000 chips. Players flipped their cards.

Jiaze Li: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Nikolai Mamut: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

In the most classic poker coolers, the board ran out {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Li's pocket aces held for a huge double up to give him around 1.3 million chips. That makes Li one of the current chip leaders with just 37 players remaining.

Matthew Eardley: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
