Keith McFadden raises in mid position and is called in late position. At this point Nerijus Simonavicius, fairly short stacked, pushes all in over the top.

McFadden re ships to isolate and the caller folds.

The board runs out as  

Simonavicius doubles up to a much healthier stack.

Things have slowed down here as the stacks have evened out a little and the pace has slowed down somewhat.

A few short stacks and one or two big leaders but the majority are around average stack.

We are in the last five miutes of Level 17, after which, players will be on a fifteen minute break.

We are down to 11 players following the loss of Gary Spencer, Brendan Johnstone and Mark Gray.


Ben Cook has had a swing in the right direction over the last level or so.

He doubled up with   against    all in pe flop.
Board ran out  

I caught the end of a hand between him and Skipp Van Dem Assem.

Board of  

Big bet on the river and Ben thinks for a little while and calls.

He shows his   and Skipp mucks.

This puts Ben on about 625k.

Very next hand sees Skipp call on the button, Ben completes in the small blind and the big blind checks.

Flop comes over  

Checks from the blinds, Skipp bets 26k, Ben calls and Big blind folds.

The turn is the   and both players check.

The river is the  

Ben bets 42k and Skipp instantly calls him.

Ben flips   for a full house and Skipp mucks but declares the straight.

After a nice little run, Ben is now on around 750k.

[Luthee13]

With a pot of circa 80k and a Board , Mark McGuinness in the SB bets 46k, Alexandre Richardot in BB min raises and Ivan Yatsenko gets out of the way.

River brings a 3rd club, being , and Mark after 10 or so seconds announces all in and Alexandre snap calls, Mark having him covered.

Alexandre shows having hit a straight on the Turn,

however Mark tables for 2nd nuts on the River and a dejected Alexandre walks to the rail shaking his head...

not sure if that is because of the beat or the min raise on the Turn.
