Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tony Miles opened to 8,000 under the gun and got the blinds, James Borland in small and Scott Weinstein in big, to call.

All three checked the 3♥10♣Q♣ flop. Borland led on the 4♣ turn pushing Weinstein out of the way and getting a call from Miles. The 4♠ went check-check.

Borland showed the winning hand of K♥Q♦ prompting Miles to muck his hand, but with a smile. It would seem that his mom follows PokerNews and now that his hand will be reported, she'll know he's on the most fun table in the tournament.

Player	Chips	Progress
James Borland	480,000 401,000	401,000
Tony Miles	336,000 64,500	64,500

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a flop of Q♠3♣5♠ and the pot at about 30,000, Michael McCarthy checked in the small blind and Michael Hans bet out for 9,000 from the big blind. McCarthy went into the tank for about three minutes before he check-raised to 24,000, which sent Hans into the tank for about two minutes before he made the call, and the players saw the 9♦ peel off on the turn.

McCarthy went into the tank again for 2-3 minutes before betting out for 42,000, which of course then sent Hans into the tank again, (PokerNews lost track of the time by now!) and he eventually called.

The 7♥ came on the river, and yes, you guessed it, McCarthy went into the tank again before he pushed out a bet of 140,000, and yes, this sent Hans into the tank, who eventually....................folded! The whole hand took approximately 12-15 minutes.

Player	Chips	Progress
Michael Mccarthy	590,000 306,000	306,000
Michael Hans	260,000 126,500	126,500
