Chidwick Doubles Through Bailey

Nível 13 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised to 160,000 from middle position and was called by Dustin Bailey in late position and Artur Martirosian on the button.

Chidwick led out for a bet of 170,000 on a flop of 6♦A♦J♠ and was called by Bailey, while Martirosian folded.

The two players would go heads up to the 9♠ turn, with Chidwick continuing the pressure in the form of a bet of 575,000. The response from Bailey was to raise enough to put Chidwick all-in, which Chidwick called immediately.

Stephen Chidwick: J♥J♦
Dustin Bailey: K♦Q♦

Bailey would need a ten or any diamond to outdraw the set of jacks of Chidwick, but it would not come to pass as the dealer put out the A♥ on the river, giving Chidwick the doube-up.

Another Victim for Kabrhel

Nível 13 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The action folded around to Sam Soverel in the small blind who ripped all in for 1,150,000. Martin Kabrhel was in the big blind and called it off to put Soverel at risk.

Sam Soverel: A♠5♦
Martin Kabrhel: K♦4♣

The flop fell 8♠5♠4♥ and both players flopped a pair, Soverel's being the better of the two. The 7♥ on the turn changed nothing, but the K♥ on the river gave Kabrhel two pair to eliminate Soverel.

After some deliberation, Hecklen moved all-in and Vogelsang got out of the way.

Leon Sturm: A♦5♦
Henrik Hecklen: 8♣8♦

Kulev Shows Negreanu the Bad News

Nível 13 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Alex Kulev raised to 160,000 in the hijack and Daniel Negreanu just flat-called in the cutoff. The flop came J♦10♥10♣ and both players checked to the 5♦ on the turn.

Kulev made a large bet of 400,000 on the turn and Negreanu stuck around to see the 8♥ on the river. Kulev announced "all-in" and Negreanu went into the tank with around 1,440,000 in front of him.

After a minute, Negreanu said "call" and Kulev tabled Q♠10♠ for trip tens. Negreanu threw his A♥J♠ in the air and headed for the exit.

Chidwick Eliminated by Martirosian; Martirosian Crosses 10-Million Chip Mark

Nível 13 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

PokerNews picked up the action with Stephen Chidwick in the small blind, faced with a decision for his tournament life after Artur Martirosian bet 2,000,000 on the river from early position, enough to put Chidwick all-in, on a board reading 4♦7♠J♦2♣4♣.

Chidwick would take ample time before tossing in a single chip to signify the call.

Stephen Chidwick: A♠J♣
Artur Martirosian: K♠K♦

Unfortunately for Chidwick, his top pair with an ace kicker wouldn't be enough to overcome the pocket kings of Martirosian, sending him home for the day.

Nível 13 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Henrik Hecklen raised to 160,000 in early position and was called by Phil Hellmuth in the cutoff and Martin Kabrhel in the big blind. The flop fell J♣7♠7♥ and Kabrhel led out with a bet of 310,000. Hecklen quickly folded but Hellmuth called to see the 3♠ on the turn.

Kabrhel announced another bet of 445,000 and Hellmuth thought for a minute before shoving all in for 920,000. Kabrhel quickly called and the cards were face up.

Phil Hellmuth: 8♣8♦
Martin Kabrhel: 7♣5♦

"Nice hand, Martin," Hellmuth said as he stood up.

"It's not over yet, Phil," Kabrhel responded.

The river was the Q♥ and Hellmuth instantly took off for the doors with his hands flailing in the air.

Peters checked again and Jorstad sized up a bet of 400,000 this time. Peters gave it some thought but opted to lay his hand down, sending the pot to the reigning WSOP Main Event champion.
