First Three Hands

First hand sees Ruiz limp in early position and Kravchenko limp the button. Black comes along and Richey checks, the latter firing 30,000 on the {9-Spades} {4-Clubs} {3-Hearts} flop. Everyone else folds.

Robert Campbell wins the blinds with a raise to 25,000 from early position.

Roland de Wolfe raises to 35,000 and everyone folds. He shows {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {3-Hearts}.

Brief Pause

The tournament clock has been paused and all of the players have left their seats while the bracelet winners from yesterday are being announced. The ceremony will take a few minutes as each player's national anthem will be played upon receiving their bracelet. Be back shortly.

De Wolfe Quarters Ruiz

In a multiway pot, it's checked around to the river of a {9-Spades} {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} board. Ruiz bets around 30,000 on the river. Only Roland de Wolfe calls, Ruiz shows {A-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} for and A-3 low and a pair of sevens. The Brit shows {A-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} for two pair and the same low.

Ruiz is starting to get a bit short.

Pottage = Choppage

Scott Clements raises to 35,000 and Antony Lellouche reraises to 115,000. Clements calls and then pots the {K-Hearts} {8-Spades} {4-Spades} flop. Lellouche moves all-in and Clements calls with {A-Spades} {K-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} for two pair and a flush draw for the high, while Lellouche has {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} for queens and the nut low draw. The turn is the {7-Hearts} giving Lellouche the low and they chop it on the {7-Clubs} river.

Richey Continues His Ascent

Brett Richey called a 17,000 bet on a {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {8-Spades} flop from Alex Kravchenko, before both players checked the {10-Hearts} turn and {Q-Spades} river. Richey showed {Q-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {5-Clubs} to scoop the pot.

He's now on 380,000. Kravchenko has 190,000.
