Level 8 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Sean Winter limped in on the button and Espen Jorstad checked his option. The flop fell A♥9♥2♦ and Jostad check-called a bet of 3,000 from Winter. The turn was the A♣ and Jorstad checked again. Winter tossed in a bet of 9,000 and Jorstad still called.

The river was the J♣ and Jorstad checked once more. Winter used a time bank before shoving all in and Jorstad was forced to let his hand go.

Next door, Jeremy Ausmus recently doubled up Kevin Rabichow and the match finished shortly after with Rabichow advancing.

Micah Raskin was down to around 30,000 and was all in against Conor Beresford.

Micah Raskin: 10♠10♣
Conor Beresford: A♥2♥

The 6♣4♥3♦ flop gave Beresford a straight draw, which came in as the board ran out J♦7♠ to send Raskin to the rail.

"Unlucky. I ran you over with the deck," Beresford told him.

Andrew Porter also prevailed in his match against Tomoki Iida.

Aleksejs Ponakovs was standing up from the table with the chips being pushed his way after defeating Adria Diaz Dalmau. Ponakovs made a full house with J♠9♦ on a board of J♣9♠6♦Q♣J♦ and Dalmau was unable to beat him.

Nearby, Keir Sullivan was also victorious in his battle with Daniel Zack and both players will be returning later this evening for Round 2.

Deeb Not So Lucky This Time

A few hands after Shaun Deeb doubled up off Julien Martini, Martini put him all in again.

"Ace-deuce off again," Deeb asked before he stuck in his last 115,000.

Shaun Deeb: K♠J♠
Julien Martini: A♥Q♠

The 7♦2♥3♣ flop didn't help Deeb, while the A♣ on the turn left him drawing dead as Martini made top pair.

"Good luck, buddy," Deeb said as he got up to shake Martini's hand before the dealer turned over the inconsequential J♥ river.

Level 7 : 1,000/2,500, 0 ante

Espen Jorstad limped in on the button. Sean Winters bumped up the bet to 7,500 and Jorstad called.

On a board of Q♦6♣10♥ both players checked through to a turn and river that came the 4♠ and 8♣ respectively. One last check from Winter prompted Jorstad to try and steal this pot with a bet of 7,500. Winter however had other ideas as he check-raised to 75,000, more than enough to put Jorstad in for his last 37,000, who snapped folded.
