Twenty Minutes

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Players are on another 20-minute break as the tournament staff has decided to play one extra level tonight.

Childs Catches the Flush

Lee Child and an opponent got it all in on a board of {5-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}. Childs held {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the nut straight and his opponent held {Q-Spades}{j-Hearts} for the same straight.

The river brought the {8-Diamonds} and Childs was able to improve his hand from the straight to the flush and his heartbroken opponent was forced to make his way to the rail.

Ashe Crushing the Field

Since Randy Ashe was able to spike a three-outer to cripple Tom Schneider early and double up he has been on a tear at his table. His stack is currently sitting around 1,200,000 and he is the commanding chip leader of this event.

I Rann So Far Away

We found James Rann all in before the flop holding {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} against an opponent's {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

Rann found gold when he flopped a set on the {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} flop. The board completed with a {5-Spades} turn and the {3-Spades}. Rann is now sitting on a stack of roughly 275,000.

Kamaras Doubles Through Childs

We caught up with action just as short-stacked Peter Kamaras was getting all in against Lee Childs.

Kamaras: {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Childs: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The {2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop and {10-Spades} turn put Kamaras in dire straits, however, the {K-Spades} river sent a small jolt through Childs as Kamaras paired his king for the double up.

Kamaras is up to 180,000 while Lee slipped back down to 275,000.
