Elliot Defends and Wins

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Donald Nimneh raised to 600 from middle position and the button player three-bet to 2,000. Sean Elliot called from the big blind and action was back on Nimneh who folded, bringing action heads-up to the {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop.

Both players checked bringing about the {10-Spades} turn and Elliot check-called his opponents 2,000 bet to see the {3-Clubs} complete the board on the river.

Action went check-check and Elliot rolled over {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} to win the pot with the nut flush.

Bailey Raises Liu

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

The player under the gun opened for 800 and found four callers which included Alfred Bailey from the button, along with JJ Liu from the small blind.

The {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop was checked around and the dealer dropped the {8-Clubs} on the turn.

Liu led out for 3,000 and watched most of her opponents fold until Bailey raised to 8,000. Liu spent little time in the tank and folded, giving the pot to Bailey.

Clare Coetzee bet 11,000 and her opponent called. The river came the {q-Diamonds}. Coetzee moved all in which got a quick fold from her opponent and she took down the nice size pot and slashed the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} boat.

Ghanem Out Kicked by Wright

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Justin Wright
Justin Wright

Justin Wright raised to 1,000 from under the gun and found two callers before Saad Ghanem squeezed for 9,800 from the big blind.

Wright came over the top for a little over a starting stack and got isolation after the other two players folded.

Saad Ghanem: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Justin Wright: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Ghanem had kicker issues and things got worse after the {7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop paired Wrights king.

The turn came the {q-Clubs}, giving Ghanem a little hope if another lady were to fall on the river but the {3-Hearts} completed the board and ended his tournament.
