Some Doubles

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Firstly Allen Bari doubled up the short-stack of the field when his {J-Hearts}{8-Spades} was unable to outdraw the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} on a final board of {5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

On the same hand, Ricky Fohrenbach doubled when his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} held as the best hand against James Mackey on a board of {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Fohrenbach moves to 365,000 as Mackey slips to roughly 80,000 in chips.

These Players Aren't Listening, Hughes Getting Sweated

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The Tournament Director has on numerous occasions asked the players to stay seated during hand-for-hand play.

Unfortunately poker players are sometimes bad listeners, and many are running round to see exactly how people's stacks are looking.

Jacqueline Hughes is copping the most attention as she has all but an ante in the current pot as play remains stalled while other tables complete their current hand.

Rosen Scores Double

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Rainier Reyes check-called a 29,000-chip bet on a {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{A-Clubs} flop to see the {5-Spades} land on the turn and his opponent Jamie Rosen move all in for 95,000.

Reyes made the call tabling his {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} to be trailing Rosen's {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

The {3-Diamonds} on the river would ensure Rosen the double to 320,000 as Reyes slipped to 85,000 in chips.

$10,123 for Everyone as Hughes Becomes Bubble Girl

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Down to her last ante on the button, Jacqueline Hughes posted and was all in. JC Tran limped in and then Seth Berger raised all in from the cutoff seat for 48,000. Action folded back to Tran and he gave it up. First, Berger was pushed the small blind, big blind and Tran's limp before action was held up while the other tables finished.

After all the other tables had completed their hands, the cards were turned over to determine Hughes' fate. She held the {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Berger the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Berger stayed in front. Hughes chanted for a six, but the {K-Clubs} on the turn left her drawing dead. She got her wish on the river with the {6-Diamonds}, but it was too late as she was drawing dead. Berger won the pot and eliminated Hughes, sending the remaining 81 players into the money.
