The board ran out {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Brill enjoying doubling up to nearly 76 big blinds.

Lee Sends Girton to the Payout Desk

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jordan Girton was flipping for his tournament life as he got the last 160,000 in before the flop as he was looked up by Manfred Lee.

Jordan Girton: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Manfred Lee: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The most classic of flips kept Girton ahead on the {8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop and {j-Diamonds} turn. However, the {k-Diamonds} struck on the river and that spelled the end for Girton in 459th place.

Jerod Smith
Jerod Smith

Jerod Smith opened from the button and the small blind three-bet into him. Smith shoved his 296,000 chips and the small blind snap-called.

Jerod Smith: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Small Blind: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Smith was calling for his 'Plan B' to come through before the {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop. "There's my Plan B."

The {3-Diamonds} graced the turn to give the small blind a flush draw. However, Smith faded everything on the {j-Hearts} river and was able to double up to over 600,000.

Leng Applies the Pressure

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ryan Leng called on the button against a raise from under the gun to the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop. The original raiser continued for 15,000 and Leng called again to the {q-Hearts} turn.

The action checked to Leng, who slid out 30,000 and was called to the {3-Clubs} river. Leng fired again after another check, this time for 69,000 which was enough to get the fold.
