Flushing Chips Away

Talal Shakerchi has lost an enormous pot to Brandon Adams, knocking him down to 235,000.

With around 80,000 in the pot by the river of the {5-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} board, Shakerchi checked to Adams, who bet 40,000. After a few moments Shakerchi called, and mucked to Adam's {Q-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} flush. Adams is now up to around 280,000.

Justin Case I'm Winning...

Justin Smith bet 30,000 to Erik Seidel's turn-time check on the {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} board, and Seidel called. He again checked the {K-Spades} river and this time Smith bet an enormous 68,900 -- Seidel looked pained, but called, and mucked when Smith turned over {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} for the flopped set. Seidel's stack is more or less bisected and he is down to 140,000; Smith meanwhile returns to the top of the chip counts on well over 500,000.

Peter Turmezey Eliminated in 31st Place (£25,340)

An attack of the television cameras prevented us from getting anywhere near the table, but Daniel Negreanu helped to recreate the hand for us.

With the board reading {K-?} {5-?} {4-?} {2-?} {10-?} on the river, Peter Turmezey moved all in for his remaining 40,000 on the river and Toni Hiltunen made the call. Turmezey's pair of fives with {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} was no match for Hiltunen's pair of kings with {K-?} {Q-?} in the hole, and Turmezey exited in 31st place, collecting the tidy sum of £25,340.
