After being moved to the feature table, Raul Paez moved all in after action folded to him in the small blind. He was putting the pressure on Paul Parker, who was in the big with around 300,000. Parker looked at his cards and hesitated. It was the kind of hesitation that suggested he just might called, which he did.
Parker:
Paez:
Paez looked as if he'd been caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but he was drawing to two live cards. Wouldn't you know it, the flop brought one of them.
"That's not good," Parker said. The turn gave him a gutshot straight draw to go with his pair of nines, but the river failed to help him. Paez ended with two pair and sent Parker to the rail in 20th place.
"Unlucky," a few players offered Parker, who didn't seem too upset all things considered.
Max Silver opened to 40,000 preflop and Anton Nesterenko moved all in from the small blind for 446,000. Damiam Porebski then reraised all behind him and Silver quicklyfolded.
On the river of an board, Peter Murphy led out for 182,000 only for Tim Michels to raise to a substantial 428,000. Murphy tanked for a good few minutes before he finally opted to call. Michels showed for the nut flush to take a pot worth over a million chips and more importantly regain the chip lead.
Jack Young went all-in for his last 44,000 and was called by Dara Davey, one of the remaining Full Tilt qualifiers in line for the Last Longer Sponsorship promotion. Young had while Davey called with . Davey had mixed luck holding the jacks twice before earlier in the day, but now he was on the other end of them.
The dealer put out the five cards . Davey had hit his ace right off the bat, but in the end Young’s jack high flush was no good against the young Irishman’s nut flush.
In the last hand before the break, action folded to Max Silver on the button and he min-raised to 40,000. Anton Nesterenko responded by moving all in for 140,000 from the small blind, the big folded and Silver, who had chips to spare, opted to call the additional 100,000.
Silver:
Nesterenko:
Nesterenko got it in good but he would fall behind when the flop gave Silver two pair. Neither the turn nor river brought the ace Nesterenko needed and he fell in 18th place for €5,580.
