Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

In the span of about ten minutes Doug Middleton doubled up Craig Coghlan, then doubled up himself through Owen Crowe and Rick Solis. In the last hand Middleton moved all in with pocket sevens and Solis called with pocket tens. "Nice call," Middleton said as he stood up...and that's when the dealer spread the flop and the door card was a seven. Middleton's hand held up and after being as low as 55,000 just a few minutes ago he's back up to 280,000. Solis is down to 270,000.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The short-stacked Danny Parks was probably glad to get his money in with pocket queens, though less so when he found he was up against Tom Braband's pocket Aces. Parks' didn't catch another queen and he was eliminated just before the break.
