Beresford Busts Brar

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

A player raised from early position, Jaspal Brar called from the small blind, and Conor Beresford defended from the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Brar led for 1,700, Beresford quickly raised to 4,000, the early position player folded and Brar called. The turn was the {2-Hearts} and Brar check-called another 4,000.

The river was the {5-}, Brar checked once again and Beresford put in 30,000. Brar went in the tank had eventually put his remaining 12,500 in the middle. Beresford tabled {a-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a turned straight and Brar threw his cards into the muck.

Watson Makes Move, Hits a Miracle

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

A player under the gun opened to 1,000 and Mitchell Watson three-bet to 2,000. His opponent pushed in 4,000 and Watson snap-moved all in for just under 50,000. His opponent just as quickly called for his remaining 40,000 and the two turned over their hands.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Mitchell Watson: {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Watson's opponent said "Good hand," as he stood up. A {k-Hearts} came down on the turn and Watson's opponent was still ahead with their aces.

The river changed that when the dealer flipped a {10-Hearts} to complete the board, giving Watson three dimes and more than enough to take down the pot, eliminating his opponent from the tournament.

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

The board read {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and there was around 20,000 in the pot. Ruslan Gazaev chucked in 6,600, Ian O'Hara swiftly called and the dealer flipped over a {k-Clubs} on the river.
