Ace from Space for Brierton

Jacob Wilson
Jacob Wilson
Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn, with J♠5♣4♣9♠ having been put out by the dealer, and 1,050,000 in the pot. Alexandra Brierton was facing a bet from Andrew Connor that would have put her at risk for her tournament life if she called. After a few minutes, she flicked in a chip, risking her final 815,000.

Alexandra Brierton: A♦5♥ All in
Andrew Connor: K♠J♥

Brierton was drawing slim, but never dead as the A♠ on the river improved her to two pair, enough to take the pot from a frustrated Connor. He stood up and let out a couple of expletives, struggling to believe that he had been beaten in the hand.

Delano Jackson raised from early position to 250,000, and Esther Riordan moved all in from late position for 1,650,000. Everyone else folded, and Jackson made the call.

Esther Riordan: 10♥10♠ All in
Delano Jackson: J♣J♦

No help arrived for Riordan on the board of 2♣3♦3♥7♥A♦, and the better two pair for Jackson prevailed.

George Kelemen found himself in the cutoff and shoved his remaining 575,000. Eric Beaumont isolated from the button, with a raise to 2,000,000. The blinds got out of the way.

George Kelemen: A♠9♣ All in
Eric Beaumont: A♣J♦

Kelemen stayed behind the whole way, as the 6♠3♠Q♦Q♥K♣ runout sent him to the rail.

Hall Gets Sousad

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

On the 5♣4♠9♠ flop and the pot already swollen, Tom Hall led out for 270,000 from under the gun.

Fabio Desousa in middle position went into the tank and announced that he was all-in for 1,400,000. Hall thought for a short while and made the call.

Fabio Desousa: J♦J♥All in
Tom Hall: A♥9♦

Desousa was way ahead, and when the J♣ pinged on the turn, it sealed the deal for a full double up and some. The irrelevant 6♦ peeled off on the river.

Bracelet winner and tournament crusher Barry Shulman has been eliminated. Abhishek Yerra raised to 210,000 from the button, and Barry Shulman moved all in for 605,000 from the big blind. Yerra made the call.

Barry Shulman: Q♦3♦ All in
Abhishek Yerra: J♣6♣

The board ran out very cruel for Shulman with Q♠10♣4♥5♣Q♣, as even though he hit trip queens, Yerra hit the flush on the river for the win.

Brierton Put to the Ultimate Test

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Adam Greenlee opened the action with a 200,000 raise from early position. Alexandra Brierton three-bet to 425,000 from the hijack, and Greenlee called.

On a flop of 9♦4♥5♦ Greenlee put in a check-raise to 380,000 following a bet of 175,000 from Brierton. She made the call, bringing in the 8♥ turn. Here, Greenlee open-shoved, putting Brierton deep into the tank. After a few minutes of thought, she released her cards.

At the same table, Paul Grisi is on quite the spin-up. Having arrived to the table with 80,000, good for just one big blind at the time, he has managed to increase his stack more than twenty-fold, as at its peak he had 2,200,000. He is currently sitting on just less than two million.
