With about 85,000 in the pot, Michael Cooper is all in from the button for 98,000, Adam Noone is all in from the small blind for 102,000, and Andrew Barnes faces a decision in the cutoff. After about two minutes, Barnes folds 9-9, saying at least one of the players has to have him beat.

Cooper shows {A-Diamonds}

, and Noone shows {Q-Clubs}

. Cooper needs to improve to survive.

The board comes {7-Clubs}

, and Noone's pocket queens hold up to win the pot.

After the hand, Adam Noone increases his stack to 295,000, while Andrew Barnes (who folded pocket nines) is still healthy with about 800,000. Michael Cooper is eliminated from the Main Event, somewhere in the high 300s for his place, likely earning $34,664.

Leif Force Eliminated

[user40108]

Oliver Maingay Eliminated

[user22113]

Team PokerNews player Oliver was all in first hand after the dinner break tonight and doubled up.

First hand after the last break, Oliver was all in again, but this time with worse results.

He was holding {A-Diamonds}

and had two callers, unfortunately for him one of them had pocket kings and they were good enough to take it down.

The Wrong Spade

[user38368]

Board:

Just before the break, there's 80,000 in the pot going into the flop. Bjorn-Erik Glenne bets 60,000 and Bob Poole is all in. Glenne calls 265,000 and shows {Q-Clubs}

to Poole's {A-Spades}

. When the spade hits the river, Poole is initially excited, until it's pointed out that Glenne has made a full house. Poole is now at 193,000 and Glenne has 620,000.
