Hernandez Leading

Nível 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Tables continued to break quite fast as we reach less than 360 players left in this tournament.

Kenneth Hernandez opened in early position and was three-bet by the button. He called to see a flop 8♦9♣9♥.

Both players checked and on the turn Q♣, Hernandez bet 110,000. Enough to take the pot and to continue to build his chip lead.

Holmes Triples

Nível 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

John Holmes had a short stack at risk and was covered all in preflop by the larger stack of the player to his right.

Short Stack: 10♠4♠
John Holmes J♥J♠
Big Stack: A♥8♥

It ran out a slight sweat with 6♦7♥2♣4♣, as the short stack could catch a five to make a straight, but when the 8♦ came, the pot was awarded to Holmes. The bigger stack to his right bemoaned his inability to fold, as it ended up costing him an additional five big blinds to call Holmes reshove.

Pollermann Wins Wild Four-Way All In

Nível 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

When the preflop dust had cleared Alcioni Pollermann, Frank Stumpf, and two other players had all gotten their chips in the middle.

Player One: Q♠Q♣
Alcioni Pollermann: A♠A♦
Player Two: A♣10♣
Frank Stumpf: 10♥10♦

The 2♥K♠3♦5♦8♦ board did not improve any of the players' hands. The two other players busted, Pollermann took the main pot, and Stumpf won the side pot.

Eights Are Enough for Priestley and Fitzgerald

Nível 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sinead Priestley bet 35,000 from under the gun on a A♠4♣7♦ flop, and Russell Fitzgerald called from the seat next to her.

Both players checked the turn 7♥ and river 3♠. Priestly rolled over 8♠8♣ and Fitzgerald 8♦8♥. They gave each other a fist bump, but registered their ambivalence at having split the pot.

On the next hand Fitzgerald's bad luck continued as a misdeal was declared, and when he looked at his cards, he saw to his dismay he had been dealt pocket aces.
