Gowen Doubles Up But Still in Trouble

[user46392]
[user46392]
A super-short-stacked Clonie Gowen has doubled up on a coinflip. She moved all in under the gun with {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} and was called by an opponent holding {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} -- things improved for her on the {5-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} flop, and got even better on the {Q-Clubs} turn and {A-Clubs} river. However, she is still pretty much desperate on just 6,900 after the double-up.

Jason Lester Eliminated

Jason Lester
Veteran of the felt Jason Lester is now gone. He raised it to 3,000 preflop and was called in the cutoff by Michael Binger, who, incidentally, I hear has played more events than anyone this year.

On the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop, Lester led out for 6,500, only to be raised virtually all in by Binger who made it 26,500 to go.

Lester thought and thought before making the call with Q-J. Binger flipped a set of eights for the win.

Ayaz Mahmood is on a wild rampage at the moment, his stack increasing to a mammoth 112,000 after seeing off an opponent with A-T versus 9-9 all in preflop.

Mahmood is now your current chip leader with Lee Watkinson lying in second.

Rousso Doubles Up

Vanessa Rousso, after dwindling to 6,900, has doubled up to a slightly more manageable 15,000. All in preflop with {J-Spades} {J-Hearts} against an opponent's {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}, the jacks not only held up but improved, after a frightening flop, to make a full house by the river of the {7-Spades} {4-Spades} {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} board.

Greco Tragedy

[user46392]
[user46392]
Michael Greco, a well known soap opera actor in the UK and winner of a leg of the GUKPT, is very low on chips. He called an opponent's all in holding pocket tens, but the opponent's Q-J hit on the river to double up and leave Greco in trouble.
