Perrins Pairs

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Steve Sung raised to 4,800 before the draw, and Matt Perrins three-bet shoved for 19,100 total. Sung spent some time considering before making the call with his covering stack. Each player drew one card.

Perrins turned over {8-}{7-}{4-}{3-} as he waited for his draw, and Sung showed {10-}{7-}{3-}{2-}. "I hope you pair," he said. Sure enough, Perrins pulled a {3-} from the deck. Now he needed Sung to pair, but a {5-} from the deck gave Sung the winning ten-seven to send Perrins packing.

On his way out the door, Perrins patted his fellow-Brit and table mate Sam Trickett on the shoulder and wished him luck.

Williams Works in a Double Up

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Mike Matusow raised to 4,100 from the hijack only to find David Williams drop the rest of his stack in the middle. Matusow pondered before finally calling the 29,200 more. Matusow drew one while Williams stood pat, tabling {J-}{9-}{8-}{6-}{3-}.

Matusow flipped up his {7-}{5-}{3-}{2-} and kept his last card down. Finally he peeled it up and dejectedly threw a {Q-} on the table. Williams scooped the pot and doubled up to over 70,000

British Civil War

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Richard Ashby made it 4,000 to go, and James Bord three-bet to 11,000. Ashby shoved on him, and Bord quickly called all in for about 30,000 total.

Ashby patted, and he had been dealt {9-}{8-}{7-}{4-}{2-}. Bord needed one card, but his {9-}{8-}{3-}{2-} was drawing live. He pulled a {j-}, though, and it's the jack of doom. The defending WSOP-E Main Event champion is out, and Ashby climbs to about 92,000.

Benyamine Busto

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Under the gun, David Benyamine raised, and Alex Balandin reraised to 12,000. Benyamine shoved for 38,200, and Balandin made the call with the covering stack. He took one card, while Benyamine stood pat with his {10-}{8-}{4-}{3-}{2-}

Balandin showed {9-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, and he snagged a {5-} to make the best low and send Benyamine off with about 55 players left.

Schulman Scoops a Pot

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

From under the gun, Huck Seed made it 5,000 to go. Nick Schulman made the call as did Dan O'Brien from the big blind. O'Brien and Seed both drew one while Schulman stood pat.

O'Brien fired out a bet of 14,200 and Seed quickly mucked. Schulman called and flipped up {9-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-} which was good enough to scoop the pot.
