Akenhead Doubles Up Speranza
![[user169505]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The action folded around to Alessandro Speranza, who was seated on the button, and he moved all-in for 38,000. The small blind folded and James Akenhead was next to act in the big. He nonchalantly peeled over one card, and then the next, before his head moved upwards in that oh crap type of motion. He made the call but you could tell he didn't like it.
| Speranza |   |
| Akenhead |   |
The flop was 
and Akenhead took the lead. The turn 
kept him there, but the 
on the river drew noises of pain from the Akenhead rail.

Big Winner
A player from early position started this wild hand off by raising it up to 6,500. The table folded around to Ryan D'Angelo on the button who made it 14,000. Pascal LeFrancois was up next and he four-bet to 29,500. The early position player got out of the way and we were back to D'Angelo who took a few moments before announcing "all in", he was quickly called by LeFrancois. D'Angelo was the one with more chips, so it was LeFrancois who was at risk.
D'Angelo: 
LeFrancois: 
D'Angelo was in bad shape and looked like this hand would take the chip lead away from him, but anything can happen.
The flop came 
and D'Angelo was still well behind. The on the turn and the 
on the river were of no help, and D'Angelo shipped over large portion of his stack to the ever resourceful LeFrancois.

It's Nearly Time Out For McDonald
With ninety-five players remaining we realise that there is a long way to go, but Jeremy Quehen has just given himself a great chance to extend his deep run. As always, with any success story there is somebody who would rather things took a different course, and this time that man is Mike 'Timex' McDonald.
We caught the action on the flop and the pot was already enormous. It was heads-up, with Timex in the blinds, and he checked to Quehen when he saw the 
flop. Quehen pushed 40,500 towards McDonald and the pair stared directly into each other's eyes until Timex announced all-in - so softly - the dealer had to ask him twice. Quehen called and it was bad news.
| Quehen |   |
| McDonald |   |
The 
and 
sent McDonald's eyes to the roof of the Amazon room and the majority of his chips over to Quehen. McDonald was left with 30,000 and we believe Quehen has around 350,000 (his stack was still dirty when we left).

LeFrancois and Youngblood Winning Showdown's
Pascal LeFrancois announced himself on the world poker scene after winning the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #8: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em for $568,974. Then a few days later LeFrancois finished 11th in the Main Event itself where he secured another $635,011. So it goes without saying that LeFrancois understands the key ingredients to get through a large field. We are pretty sure that one of those key ingredients is luck, and here is LeFrancois grabbing a piece of it.
Le Francois moved all-in holding 
and was called by a player holding 
. The flop gave his opponent a set but did give LeFrancois a flush daw - 
. When the hit the turn, it was Le Francois's opponent who now needed lady luck to shine. The river didn't help either party and LeFrancois doubled up.
This is Andrew Youngblood's 9th WSOP cash and it could be his deepest yet. Youngblood has just eliminated an opponent v 
to take his total up to 240,000.

Isaac Baron Eliminated
We can confirm that Isaac Baron has been eliminated. We do not know what happened, but we know he has been knocked out. It seems our timing has been bad all day with Baron as we were never able to catch the man playing a hand.

Double for Lovgren
A player in middle position raised it up to 7,000 and action folded around to Sofia Lovgren in the cut-off who moved all in for 24,000. The rest of the table folded and the middle position player made the call.
Lovgren: 
Opponent: 
The flop came 
and Lovgren looked like she might pull this one through, but a 
on the turn brought a reversal of places with Lovgren now with the disadvantage.
The 
on the river though completed a straight for Lovgren, and she was awarded the pot.
