#1 Hold'em Championship

And, we have a final table of 10.

Lee Champion moved all in from mid position and is called in the cut off by Nathan Whiteman. Danny Strange, in the big blind, goes very quiet for quite some time before saying "I didn"t really want to get into it with you two again..." and reluctantly folds.

Nathan announces "8"s" and shows
Lee says "I have one of your improving outs" and shows meaning he needs to see the Ace...

.... Nathan maintains the lead.
only an ace...
on the river and Lee Champion exits in 11th place.

The players did a re draw for seats and have commenced final table play - good luck to them.

#1 Hold'em Championship

JJ finds himself short and, in early position, moves all in.
Immediately to his left, Frank Adams makes the call with slightly less chips.
Everyone else folds and JJ has with Frank showing the better hand of As
The first card out changes all that though - followed by and Frank needs running cards or an ace to survive.
The turn is the bringing the flush and straight draws for Frank but JJ still has the lead.
The river...

We lose Frank Adams from the tournament in 10th place.

[Luthee13]

Not long after that and it is Cornei Miu who announces "all in" from late position and finds a call, again, immediately to his left from Nathan Whiteman.
They go to the flop heads up, Nathan has and Cornei has and is the player at risk.

The board comes down giving Cornei some flush outs but he will need them all...
The turn of and river of does not improve Cornei"s hand - he is busted in 9th place.

Danny raises pre flop to 25k and Nathan makes a considered call.

The first 3 cards on the board are

Nathan checks and then calls Danny"s bet of 18k.

Nathan leads out on a turn and Danny calls.

They both check the river -

Nathan flips over As and Danny says "nice" and mucks his hand.

Next hand and Ken Lemchi, in late position, pushes all in for 24k.

And, again, is called directly to his left - Danny Strange on the button.

Ken is at risk and needs his to be able to outplay Danny"s

#1 Hold'em Championship

A double up and an exit in the last half an hour or so, lots of "all in" pre flop moves getting through as the 6 remaining players continue.

Vince, in the small blind, looks at one card and moves all in. JJ, in the big blind, calls instantly and shows
Vince shows the he had looked at and discovers the other card is
JJ is at risk but ahead as we go to the flop:

JJ increases his lead.
on the turn leaves Vince drawing dead and the river is more a formality.

JJ gets the double.

Next hand and it is David Whiteman"s turn to move all his chips across the line from under the gun.
It folds quickly round to Matt Gilland in the big blind who calls even quicker and very speedily turns over his As
David sighs and looks despondent as he shows
David is at risk and needing help.
gives David the flush draw...
But the on the river isn"t good enough and he leaves the tournament in 7th place.
