Brits Clash; Spinks Eliminated

No-Limit Hold'em

In two hands Jon Spinks just lost all his chips to Stephen Chidwick, and we caught the last one.

Chidwick raised under the gun and the action got folded to Spinks who moved all in from the button for his final 45,000 chips. Chidwick called.

Jon Spinks{A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Stephen Chidwick{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and Chidwick took Spinks' final chips. We are now down to 32 players.

Kravchenko Stays Alive

No-Limit Hold'em

John Hennigan raised under the gun to 13,000, and Alexander Kravchenko moved all in for his last 38,000 chips. The action got folded back to Hennigan who quickly made the call.

John Hennigan{A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Alexander Kravchenko{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

The window card was the {A-Spades}, and Kravchenko was ready to get up and leave. The other two cards on the flop were the {6-Spades} and {A-Clubs}, and this gave the Russian pro a full house. He repositioned himself at the table, and after the {7-Spades} on the turn and the {K-Hearts} on the river he got himself double up.
