Kabrhel Doubles

Martin Kabrhel moved all in over a bet from Kevin Williams on the flop of {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Williams made the call, although he didn't look too happy about it, and rightfully so. Williams saw that his {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} was in fact behind the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for Kabrhel and after a turn of the {9-Clubs} and river of the {A-Hearts}, Kabrhel doubled up.

Patience Prevails

Moments after the aforementioned hand, Ben Vinson was getting his hands dirty once again, this time against Antonio Esfandiari.

I assume that Esfandiari opened from the cut-off and Vinson called in the big blind, but either way, Esfandiari's final chips went in on on a {9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}, which was just about pipping Vinson's {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

No change on a {4-Hearts} turn and a {2-Clubs} river and Esfandiari, who has shown more patience than a saint chess player, doubled through. He now has around 5,500, whilst Vinson is down to a bowl of rice.

Isra Looking for More Jewelry

JP Kelly started things off with a raise to 375 from middle position. Another player in middle position made the call before Roland Isra three-bet to 1,675 from the small blind. Kelly tanked and tanked, but eventually folded his hand. The other player folded as well and Isra was awarded the pot.

"I'll buy you a drink if you show," said Kelly.

Isra divided his cards and had Kelly pick one to turn over. It was the {K-Diamonds}. Kelly then claimed that he folded two queens.

"What's the worst I could have there?" asked Isra.

"Ace king," piped up Kelly.

Isra's up to 15,000 in chips and will be looking to add a gold bracelet to his collection of jewelry. Earlier this year, Isra won the Caesars Atlantic City WSOP Circuit event for over $264,000. Then in August, he won another ring after taking down another Circuit event at Horseshoe Council Bluffs in Iowa.

Setback for Vinson

Ben Vinson opened from early position and a player in the big blind defended. Vinson continuation bet 450 on the {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, but was check-raised to 1,000. Vinson made the call.

The turn was a {3-Spades}, and Vinson fired out 1,450. Without hesitation, the big blind reached for a column of chips and check-raised, signalling that he was putting Vinson all in.

Vinson dwelt for a couple of minutes, but eventually made the fold. He's now back down to his starting stack of 3,000.

Ajram On Top

Ramsey Ajram looks to be the first player over the 20,000 mark. He was keeping quiet about the particular details though, simply confessing, "I ran really good in a couple of big pots."

Ajram has had a couple of decent results on the UK circuit but all would be dwarfed by any good result here.

Loeser Doubles Through Cajelais

After Erik Cajelais opened with a raise to 400, Manig Loeser moved all in from the next seat for 2,025. Action folded back around to Cajelais and he committed the chips to call after taking a minute to think it over. When Loeser turned over his {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, Cajelais shook his head as he tabled the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Loeser doubled up. He's back over 4,000 while Cajelais slipped to 2,000.

Esfandiari Stumbles

It's been a rather uneventful day for Antonio Esfandiari thus far, and he is currently struggling with just 2,000 after losing his last pot. I believe Esfandiari was the aggressor on a {5-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop, but he conceded by the turn, check-folding to a bet of 1,000. His opponent revealed an ace.

Chips Nikked

Nik Persaud opened preflop to 375 and got one caller on the button to see a flop of {9-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}.

Persaud fired out 500 only to find the button raising to 1,425. Persaud thought for a minute and moved all-in, quickly being called.

"Ahh, the hands I get into...What do you have? A slow-played overpair?"

The button flipped {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} to Persaud's {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds} knocking out the Brit after a {Q-Hearts} turn and a {6-Hearts} river.
