DeWitt Recovers

Jason DeWitt has recovered some of the chips he recently lost after firing three streets of value against Lennart Holz.

DeWitt released bets of 30,000 on the turn, 75,000 on the turn and 125,000 on the river on a board of {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Holz looked him up but mucked when DeWitt showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

DeWitt is back to 940,000.

DeWitt Takes A DeHit

Jason DeWitt has decided to put his big stack to work. When action folded to him on the button he open-shipped all in, putting the blinds to the ultimate decision. Unfortunately for DeWitt, Lennart Holz didn't have much of a decision in the big blind as he snap called.

DeWitt: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Holz: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

Oops! Just to rub salt in the wound the board fell {2-Spades}{A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to give both players sets and the double up for Holz. He's up to 579,000 with DeWitt back down to 665,000.

Todd Cracks Kings

Eugene Todd is fortunate to still be in the tournament after pushing his last 100,000 with {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} into Peter Gilmore's {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

Todd would need a lot of help, and he got it on the {Q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. A backdoor flush is what was needed as Todd doubles to 220,000. Gilmore is back down to 168,000.

Two More To Go...

...levels that is. It's unlikely we'll reach the final table from here, so it's two more levels and then our day is done. At the start of the day, the highly intelligent and extremely degenerate members of media row, set the line at 20 players remaining at the end of the day. At the moment, that's looking like a pretty good line, but we are hoping to pay the unders!
