Joe Ebanks has sailed through the 30,000 chip barrier and it cruising in this tournament.
Facing an 850 bet from under the gun, Ebanks three-bet to 2,200 from his seat on the button. The player in the big blind tanked for almost one minute before releasing his hand. The initial raiser called and it was heads up to the flop.
Ebanks made a continuation bet of 1,625 when it was checked to him but he checked behind on the turn. The river brought the into play and Ebanks asked to see how many chips his opponent had behind. With that information processed, Ebanks bet 2,500 and his opponent snap-folded.
The flop of was already dealt and the big blind check called a bet of 1,450 from Humberto Brenes from under the gun. The big blind again check called, this time on the turn for the amount of 2,475. The river prompted the big blind to lead for 10,000. After some thought and quite some time, Brenes opted for the fold.
Allen Cunningham opened for 900 from early position and Justin Bonomo was his only caller from the small blind. Bonomo checked called Cunningham's continuation bet of 1,100 on the flop. Both players checked the turn and the river. When the cards were tabled, Bonomo won with for a pair of tens and Cunningham had for king high.
A short-stacked player moved all in from the button after Phil Ivey had opened from under the gun. Ivey called and tabled which improved to a boat on the flop!
Ivey is now up to 18,500 and looks to be running good. That is not good news for anyone who faces the nine-time WSOP bracelet winner today.
British pro Tamer Kamel looks to be our chip leader thanks to his mountain of chips worth 45,000. We've not managed to catch Kamal in a hand so far today but we will keep trying.
Kamel only has one WSOP cash to his name; he finished 120th in a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Six-Handed tournament at the 2012 WSOP, but if he continues in this rich vein of form he should add a second cash by the time this tournament ends. Kamel's largest career cash tops the scales at an impressive £79,950 ($120,311), which was his reward for finishing seventh in the recent EPT London Main Event.
Justin Bonomo, coming off his 3rd-place finish in Event #16: $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em, opened from the button followed by a three-bet from Allen Cunningham in the big blind. Bonomo shipped all in and Cunningham called. Bonomo held and Cunningham . Bonomo flopped a set with the on the board and doubled through Cunningham.
