Some Quick Observations

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Just scouring the room from my raised platform, I can tell you that Paul Magriel is currently three-handed, as are Brits Liv Boeree and Neil Channing. Noah Jefferson and Joe Tehan are heads up on neighbouring tables, whilst Rob Hollink still has three opponents to topple. He can't moan though, Ciaron O'Leary's table still boasts six players.

Controversy for Alex Jacobs

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jacobs raised preflop and got two callers; Andy Moser in the big blind reraised, and only Jacobs called. Moser bet 1,500 on the {A-Hearts}

flop and Jacobs called, and then Moser bet 3,100 on the {8-Hearts}

turn. Jacobs thought about it for maybe 90 seconds, after which another player called the clock on him. The floor told Jacobs that he would get a countdown at 10 seconds remaining, but when the countdown began, it was only five seconds. As the floor man reached one second, Jacobs announced all in, but although the dealer heard him, the floor didn't, and neither, apparently, did Moser. Jacobs' hand was declared dead, and although he appealed the decision, he was told that his hand was dead as soon as the countdown reached one, and he was down to 4,500.

Mighty Joe

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Joe Tehan is now heads up with Minh Nguyen after eliminating Adam Friedman in 3rd. Raising it up to 525 preflop, Joe called a reraise to 1,725 before calling an all-in push on the nine-high flop, albeit after a long dwell.

Whilst Tehan revealed pocket tens, Friedman proudly flipped aces, but a third ten on the river gave the pot to Tehan and sent an unfortunate Friedman hurtling towards the rail.

Anton Smolyanskiy makes it through to the next round, knocking out Champie Douglas with pocket kings against Douglas's A-Q, a total lack of any improvement for either player from the board.
