Fox Busts One

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

The hijack opened to 7,000. The player on the button moved all in for 11,000 and Ryan Fox in the big blind, also moved all in for his final 18,500. The hijack thought for a short time but ended up folding.

When the hands were tabled Fox showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} against his opponent's {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. The board of {3-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} provided no help to Fox's opponent and he was eliminated.

Harris Runs Into a Surprise

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Everyone folded to John Harris in the small blind, who put the short-stacked big blind all in. Unfortunately for him, the big blind woke up with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, and Harris' {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} was miles behind. A flop of {2-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs} brought nothing, but a sweat arrived on the turn in the form of the {6-Spades}. A {6-Diamonds} river meant the aces were good, and Harris now finds himself under 10 big blinds.

Gibson Stacks Up

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

A player in early position raised to 20,000. Wyatt Gibson called from middle position, and everyone else folded. The flop brought the {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and the early-position player pushed his remaining 20,000 into the middle. Gibson made the call, and the players showed their hands.

Gibson: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Early position: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The early-position player needed help, but it wasn't to be, as the {8-Hearts} and {3-Clubs} completed the board. Gibson is now racing with Sean Small for the chiplead.

Roommates Battle

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Daniel Ellery raised to 10,000 from the button and Wyatt Gibson calls from the big blind.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Gibson checked to Ellery who moved all in for his final 30,000. Gibson turned over {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Ellery showed {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for two pair.

The turn {5-Spades} and river {10-Hearts} provided no relief to Gibson and Ellery earned some much needed chips from his roommate.
