Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Three Brits are well above average stack in this event, Rhys Jones, Scott O'Reilly and Andrew Teng.

Not long ago, Jones won a substantial pot when he open-raised to 6,000 from middle position and was called by the cutoff. Jones then check-called a 10,000 bet on the flop and then 25,000 on the turn. Both players checked the arrival of he on the river, Jones taking the pot down when he showed .
