Brits in the Field Having a Rocky Last Level

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Two of the British players making a deep run in this year's Seniors event, Keith Littlewood and Ali Zihni, are short-to-moderately stacked as the blinds rise to 6,000/12,000. Zihni informs us that he's lost "500K in spins in the last few" (translation: lost every flip for the last half level). He did win a pot back, however: raising on the button to 24,000 and picking up one caller in the big blind. He bet 15,000 when it was checked to him on the flop and was called again. His bet of 34,000 on the turn won him the pot.

Littlewood, meanwhile, has around 280,000 after raise-folding to a button shove for 257,000. He was informed by the button that, "It wasn't a race. I had nines."

Player	Chips	Progress
Keith Littlewood	280,000 60,000	60,000

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Black #185 has turned into the party table, but Ernesto Gormaz was faced with a tough decision as the rest of the table was toasting with Jagermeister and beer all around him.

Lance Tahata went all in for his last 115,000 chips on the turn in a heads-up pot against Gomaz, with a tabkemate handing Tahata a drink immediately after the chips went in. While the rest of table laughed it up and did cheers, Gormaz went deep into the tank, intently staring at the board and trying to make a decision. He finally made the call.

Lance Tahata:
Ernesto Gormaz:

Board:

Gormaz saw that he was behind on the flop with second pair versus Tahata's top pair, and no help came on the , doubling up Tahata.

Robert Jennings Busts in Two Hands

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Robert Jennings was down to dust and all in for what looked like 20,000 vs. early position opener (and giant stack) Mark Kroon, who declared he was "super live" with vs. Jennings' .

The board ran out ... and Kroon said, "It's usually the river, the nine."

In fact it was the , equally final for Jennings as it brought in Kroon's gutshot.

We were informed that the major damage to Jennings' stack occurred just prior, however, with Mansour Alipourfard the beneficiary. According to railside sources, Alipourfard had five-bet ace-six off-suit and spiked a six to double through Jennings, leaving the latter in auto-all-in-mode.
