Dennis Phillips got his last 6,000 in and a player in the blind made the call. Phillips showed and was behind the of his opponent. The board ran out and Phillips was eliminated.
Ever the gentleman, Phillips shared with us his demise on the way out. He said that he played in four of six hands he was dealt at that table. In back-to-back hands, he couldn't catch up to pocket pairs with king-jack suited and ace-king. Additionally, he couldn't find help for his ace-queen and folded to a post-flop shove. Then, the bust out hand as reported above.
We caught a hand that had finished seconds before we arrived that resulted in Faraz Jaka tripling up to 21,000.
Jaka had been all-in with pocket tens against aces and an unknown hand and proceeded to flop a set. That set held and Jaka's stack went from being short to being average.
Jason Wheeler raised to 1,700 from the button, the small blind folded, but the big blind sat pondering his options.
He pondered them for more than two minutes before Wheeler called the clock on his opponent. The floor came to the table and as the countdown from 10 seconds began, the big blind folded and Wheeler picked up the pot.
We caught completed action and a board of . Jason Helder had tabled for the rivered straight and his opponent's sat missing a paired board as a massive amount of chips was sent to Helder. His opponent was left with just 2,000 approximate, two away from the money.
The money bubble has burst amid a little controversy. At one end of the room, Dmitry Shchepkin called an all-in bet with and was racing against . The board ran and the player with pocket tens busted.
At the same time, Eoghan O'Dea was sent to the rail and a third player crashed out at the same time. Play resumed with everyone seemingly in the money places. However, the clock was paused once again because the floor staff thought they may have miscounted and a fourth player exited on the bubble, too.
Order seems to have been restored and 180 players remain in the hunt for this event's bracelet.
