McAulay Doubles Up

Level 32 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Daniel McAulay
Daniel McAulay

Daniel McAulay is still in contention for a spot among the final eight players after doubling up against Nicolai Morris.

How the action went down is unclear, but in front of McAulay was {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and Morris had {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} in front of him. The board was already out there, showing {9-Spades}{2-Spades}{Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. The dealer counted out McAulay's stack and he earns himself a double-up.

Level 32 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

(Blinds 2,000/4,000)

After losing a smaller showdown hand, Jan-Eric Schwippert dropped to 63,600 and open-shoved to receive a quick call from Julien Martini.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Julien Martini: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

Schwippert was in bad shape but paired up on the {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop. Neither the {4-Hearts} turn nor the {6-Clubs} river improved Martini and Schwippert doubled to 32 big blinds.

Martijn Gerrits Stacking

Level 33 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Martijn Gerrits seems to be winning more pots than his opponent Kane Kalas.

We got there on the {K-Spades}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds} flop and Kalas check-called a bet of 16,000 to see the {5-Hearts} turn.

Both players checked the turn to see a {10-Spades} river and after Kalas checked, Gerrits bet 125,000 in a 70,000 pot. Kalas folded and they went on to the next hand, where Kalas lost another 16,000 to Gerrits.

After retaking the lead and chipping away at Scott Seiver, Mark McGovern has advanced to the Round of 8.

Another Double for Schwippert

Level 33 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

(Blinds 3,000/6,000)

Julien Martini raised to 12,000 and Jan-Eric Schwippert called. On the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{A-Clubs} flop, Schwippert checked and called a bet of 6,000. Both checked the {9-Clubs} turn and the {9-Diamonds} fell on the river. Schwippert checked, called a bet of 92,200 by Martini and they chopped it up with the full house on the board as Martini had {K-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Schwippert held {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

The fireworks continued soon after when Martini bet-jammed a flop of {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades} against Schwippert's raise to 29,000, and the German called all in for another 75,200 on top.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for top two pair
Julien Martini: {J-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the open-ended straight draw

The {6-Hearts} turn and {3-Diamonds} river were both blanks and Schwippert doubled once more. Still, Martini continues with a comfortable lead.

(Blinds 3,000/6,000)

After losing a showdown hand on the board {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Jan-Eric Schwippert limped in and Julien Martini raised to 24,000. Schwippert moved all in for some 175,000 and Martini folded. Schwippert also claimed the next pot on the flop and pulled back to where he doubled to for the second time.
