Never Stop Never Settle

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Steven Hensley
Steven Hensley

Start of day chip leader Steven Hensley has starting building again.

He got a call from both blinds after making it 3,600 to see a flop. That flop fell {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and when it checked to him, he fired again, making it 8k to see another card. Only the small blind obliged and off to the turn they went.

The dealer burned and turned the {8-Spades} which brought checks from both players. But when the {2-Clubs} river fell and the small blind fired out 12,500, Hensely snap-called with {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

It was good enough to take the pot and help Hensely crest the 200k mark.

The Rising

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The chip stack building continues for Steven Hensley, who has managed to bust another couple of players and push over the 300k mark.

First he bested one player holding {a-}{q-} with just {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts} by flopping a heart draw and getting it all in and turning a pair of kings. Then he rivered an ace with {a-Spades}{2-Spades} against pre-flop shoving short stack's sixes.

Busquet Crippled

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Olivier Busquet
Olivier Busquet

Blake Whittington opened for 4,500 and Olivier Busquet three-bet him to 11,000. Whittington four-bet him to 24,700 and Busquet got a count of Whittington’s stack before moving all in. Their stacks were pretty similar and Whittington quickly made the call.

Whittington quickly turned over {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and it was a cooler for Busqet who flipped over {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

The cards ran out {5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Whittington whistled on the turn as a flush draw reared it’s ugly head but the river bricked out and he doubled up.

Busquet thought was left with just 1,500 chips. Over the next few hand he doubled up 3 times, chopped once and folded his big blind to a raise to get up to 10,000 but it all looks a bit desperate now.

The Field is Thinning

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Down to 66 Players now and Busquet did indeed bust very shortly after that last sequence of events.
