Updates - Welsh Championship at Cardiff Grosvenor 28th-30st Aug 2015

[MintTrav]

It"s folded around to Dan Owston in the Small Blind, which only means one thing - he shoves it in for 80k, with the BB at 8k and Kyle calls.

Dan  
Kyle  

Kyle goes further ahead on the Flop, but there are two hearts and hope for Dan, but we actually end up with a split:

[Matt D]

15 minutes left of Level 17, then a 45 minute break. We"ll get full chip counts in the break.

[MintTrav]

David Singh has been eliminated in 18th place.

First he lost with AA against AK, all in pre-flop against Anthony Jones.

Anthony made a flush and doubled-up his 62k stack, making a major hole in David"s 90k.

David then got all-in pre-flop for his remaining chips with A8 against Lewis Tucker"s QQ and didn"t improve.

[MintTrav]

Dan Owston has fallen in 17th.

Dan shoved   pre-flop into Kyle Hyman"s   .

He hit an 8, but that was it:



We are now on the money bubble and playing hand for hand.

We are back, with the two Robs on 2BBs and Debbie on 3BBs.

Rob Thomas is the SB and it is folded around to him. He is keeping an eye on the other table, where Rob Davies will be in the blinds in a minute and may bust first. Eventually he folds and gives Dave Burt a walk in the BB.

Dave turns over  

[MintTrav]

Rob Davies is in the BB with 2BB and gets a walk, with Mike Gale showing in the SB.

[MintTrav]

Some action on the bubble.

Rodders raises to 30k from the SB and Roy Powell calls in the BB.

The flop is   and Rod continues for another 30k.

Roy shoves all-in for 65k total and Rodders hesitates.

"I have nothing, but I think I have to call" he says, and he does.

The Robs perk up, with the possibility that they might leapfrog someone into the cash places.


Roy  
Rod  

Not good news for the short-stacks.

Rod doesn"t win the hand.

[MintTrav]

Next hand, it is folded around to Rob Thomas and he goes all-in for 13k.

Everyone folds to Debbie Kimm, who already has 10k in the pot as the BB and has to put in another 3k.

Rob tells Debbie she has to call and she makes the loosest call she has ever made in her life with   .

Rob has  

The board:  

Debbie knocks out Rob and the bubble is gone.

Everyone else is in the money.
