Levi Twinley has won some of those bluffed chips back from Kamal Choraria. Five players were still involved at the turn with the board reading 
. The SB led out for 450 and was called by Twinley and Choraria to see the 
river. This time the SB checked but Twinley bet 1,725 and was only called by Choraria. Twinley tabled 
for a flush and the pot as Choraria mucked. He's back up to 13,000 now whereas Choraria slips a little to 20,500.
Four limpers preflop was enough to encourage James Akenhead to move all in from the big blind with 
for 2,675. However, it would appear as though his reputation precedes him as he received two callers: the cut-off with 
and the button, who was now all in for 1,400, with 
.
The 
flop favoured the 2009 November Niner, but the turn delivered a straight to the short stack. A river later and, despite the dealer pushing the entire pot to Akenhead, the small blind took the main and Akenhead scooped the side.
A quick recount of the chips, and Akenhead recovered approximately what he started the hand with.
Frank Kassela has found himself moved back into the Shadow room but that hasn't stopped him picking up the chips. He just called a shove in the big blind for 1,250 with 
and found himself ahead of the short stack's 
despite a sweat on the 
board.
He's up to about 17,000.
Alan Kingsley has been eliminated by Tim Blake after failing to come from behind. Blake raised to 450 from the cut-off and was called by Jeff Kimber on the button before Kinglsey made his move from the SB. Blake re-shipped and Kimber folded to leave them at heads-up showdown:
Kinglsey:
Blake: 
The board ran 
. Blake up to 8,000 now.
Allen Kessler has adopted the role of roving journalist here at the Empire, serving us up with the occasional hand to munch on when are our own plates run dry.
The latest actually provided fruitful results for himself, a 
versus encounter falling in his favour and seeing his stack shoot up to the 10,000 mark.
It was no walk in the park though, as although the chips flew in preflop, the dealer lay a 
onto the felt to ensure that the Chainsaw heart skipped a beat.
But despite his fears, the turn and river both bricked out and Kessler scooped a crucial pot.
Level: 6
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 25
Abishek Khaitan has doubled up, not just surviving against 
, but obliterating it on a 
board. He now has 3,500.
Claire Renaut is up to 13,000 after making a diamond flush against Stian Johannessen. The flop was out as 
and led for 600 from the cut-off and was called by Renaut on the button. The turn came and when Johannessen led for 1,275 the French lady moved all-in for 4,425. Call.
Renaut tabled 
for flush and straight draws but was behind to Johannessen's 
for two-pair. The river came to make the flush for Renaut. Johannessen's still okay in 11,000.
Mike Matusow has been eliminated, he managed to spin up his 700 to 1,700 when his 
outdrew 
on a 
board.
Next hand and Matusow pushed all-in again, called by the same player with again. Matusow flipped 
but couldn't survive this time on a 
board.
James Akenhead is out after "losing a race" as he described it. He'll be back for the main event where he final tabled last year.
