Hansen paired his nine on the flop and that was good enough to hold and eliminate Dwan. Kunimaro Kojo Eliminated Kunimaro Kojo and David Paredes saw a flop of K 9 2, and Kojo checked. Paredes bet 50,000, Kojo raised to 125,000. Paredes shoved, putting his opponent all in for 388,000, and Kojo called. Paredes tabled the K 7 and was good against the 9 6 of Kojo.

The board ran out 7 6 3 5 6, and Cody was the first player to advance to the round of 8.

In perhaps the largest confrontation between the two so far, Lykov bet 3,500 from the button preflop and Marafioti raised to 10,500. Lykov then reraised all in and Marafioti made the call to cover him. Their cards: Lykov: 4 4 Board: 7 5 4 K 9 Marafioti won the seesaw hand thanks to the king on the turn and Lykov was forced to reload after the hand.

The button folds but he gets a caller in the remaining player and the two flip over their cards. It’s K K versus Blanco’s A Q and with a king as one of the first cards down it’s all over for the Italian pro – K-4-2-2-9. Juanda Versus Lefrancois John Juanda bets 1,350 from the hijack position and once again finds himself in a battle against Pascal Lefrancois in the cut-of. The flop is K 8 7 and both players check.

High Roller Heads-Up Report — First Match Drags The £10,350 heads-up high roller event has reached the final match between Gus Hansen and Jim Collopy from an initial field of 103. The winner will take home the top prize worth £288,409 and the runner-up will take home £178,211 and some deflated hopes. First Match: The first round saw Hansen take control but Collopy held on to battle for quite some time before succumbing to a first-game loss. On the final hand he shoved on the button preflop and Hansen made the call. Their cards: Hansen: 9 9 Board: J 10 8 7 7 Hansen took a 1-0 lead after the hand and then the two charged forward to game 2. This match delivered some déjà vu with Hansen chipping away at the start and Collopy now finds himself in a hole once again. Here are the results so far for this event: 3: Ram Vaswani — £96,212 Player Tags: John Juanda, Allen Cunningham, Gus Hansen, Cristiano Blanco, Pascal LeFrancois, Jim Collopy Level 4 Update: Into the Dinner BreakSep 24, '10 NOTE: The players are now on a 90-minute dinner break. Play will resume at 8:40 p.m. local time (12:40 p.m. PST). Blinds: 150-300 with a 25 ante Players Remaining: 162 out of 210 (unofficial) Chip Counts: 1. Sam Trickett — 97,000 Card Player Family Chip Counts: Barry Shulman — 85,000 Average Chip Count: 36,800 Notable Eliminations: Brandon Adams Big Hands: Melanie’s More The “Weisner†With around 14,000 in the pot and a board of 10-9-2-6-6 showing havoc broke loose between Melanie Weisner and David Benyamine. Benyamine had bet 7,500 on the river and Weisner raised to 16,500. She thought Benyamine had called and so flipped over 10-8, but in fact he had shoved and now turning red in frustration she said, “You put your stack in and didn’t say anything!†“I did say something,†said Benyamine. “I said I’m all in.†“I didn’t hear him say that,†Weisner appealed to the tournament director. The TD said the hand was still alive and she could call his all in or fold. She called and Benyamine quickly showed 6-6. “Are you serious?†asked Weisner. Benyamine has 45,000 while Weizner slips to 15,000. Shortly after this however, a set increased her stack to 27,000. Confusion then broke out elsewhere between Noel Furlong and Dan Shak ⎯ another mix up about going all in or just calling. Shak won the fight and took a nice big pot down. It could just be hunger frustration before dinner, but a break is well needed at this stage of the evening. Shulman Knocks One Out The player under the gun +1 bets 750 and another in middle position calls. Dan Fleyshman calls from the button, as does the small blind, and Barry Shulman on the big blind. The flop comes Q 5 4 and it is checked to the player in mid-position who bets 2,200. Fleyshman steps out of the way, as does the small blind, but Shulman calls, and so does under the gun +1. The turn is the 9 and it is again checked to the mid-position player. He bets 5,500 and Shulman makes it 16,000. Under the gun +1 folds and mid-position moves all in for around 14,000. Shulman snap-calls and shows 5-4, while his opponent flips over A Q. The river is a king and the player’s stack increases Shulman’s chip count to 85,000. Gus Hansen who is happily playing Angry Birds on his iPad beside Shulman, turns to his neighbour and says, “You’re a force to be reckoned with.†One For Gus Andy Frankenberger bets 625 from late position and the player to his left, Dan Fleyshman, calls. Shulman calls from the button and Gus Hansen on the small blind makes it 2,275. Frankenberger folds and Fleyshman calls. Shulman asks Hansen how much he has left. It’s about 19,000 and so Shulman folds. The flop comes K 7 6 and it’s between Hansen and Fleyshman. Hansen makes his move all in and Fleyshman insta-folds. Fleyshman has 14,000 while Hansen has just over 24,000 in chips. Player Tags: Gus Hansen, David Benyamine, Barry Shulman, Dan Fleyshman |

On the final hand he shoved on the button preflop and Hansen made the call. Their cards: Hansen: 9 9 Board: J 10 8 7 7 Hansen took a 1-0 lead after the hand and then the two charged forward to game 2.

Play will resume at 8:40 p.m. local time (12:40 p.m. PST). Blinds: 150-300 with a 25 ante Players Remaining: 162 out of 210 (unofficial) Chip Counts: 1. Sam Trickett — 97,000 Card Player Family Chip Counts: Barry Shulman — 85,000 Average Chip Count: 36,800 Notable Eliminations: Brandon Adams Big Hands: Melanie’s More The “Weisner†With around 14,000 in the pot and a board of 10-9-2-6-6 showing havoc broke loose between Melanie Weisner and David Benyamine. Benyamine had bet 7,500 on the river and Weisner raised to 16,500. She thought Benyamine had called and so flipped over 10-8, but in fact he had shoved and now turning red in frustration she said, “You put your stack in and didn’t say anything!†“I did say something,†said Benyamine. “I said I’m all in.†“I didn’t hear him say that,†Weisner appealed to the tournament director. The TD said the hand was still alive and she could call his all in or fold. She called and Benyamine quickly showed 6-6. “Are you serious?†asked Weisner. Benyamine has 45,000 while Weizner slips to 15,000. Shortly after this however, a set increased her stack to 27,000. Confusion then broke out elsewhere between Noel Furlong and Dan Shak ⎯ another mix up about going all in or just calling. Shak won the fight and took a nice big pot down. It could just be hunger frustration before dinner, but a break is well needed at this stage of the evening. Shulman Knocks One Out The player under the gun +1 bets 750 and another in middle position calls. Dan Fleyshman calls from the button, as does the small blind, and Barry Shulman on the big blind. The flop comes Q 5 4 and it is checked to the player in mid-position who bets 2,200. Fleyshman steps out of the way, as does the small blind, but Shulman calls, and so does under the gun +1. The turn is the 9 and it is again checked to the mid-position player. He bets 5,500 and Shulman makes it 16,000. Under the gun +1 folds and mid-position moves all in for around 14,000. Shulman snap-calls and shows 5-4, while his opponent flips over A Q. The river is a king and the player’s stack increases Shulman’s chip count to 85,000. Gus Hansen who is happily playing Angry Birds on his iPad beside Shulman, turns to his neighbour and says, “You’re a force to be reckoned with.†One For Gus Andy Frankenberger bets 625 from late position and the player to his left, Dan Fleyshman, calls. Shulman calls from the button and Gus Hansen on the small blind makes it 2,275. Frankenberger folds and Fleyshman calls. Shulman asks Hansen how much he has left. It’s about 19,000 and so Shulman folds. The flop comes K 7 6 and it’s between Hansen and Fleyshman. Hansen makes his move all in and Fleyshman insta-folds. Fleyshman has 14,000 while Hansen has just over 24,000 in chips. Player Tags: Gus Hansen, David Benyamine, Barry Shulman, Dan Fleyshman |

Sirous Jamshidi – 134,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Jennifer Harman — 75,000 Notable Eliminations: Hasan Habib Player’s Twitter Accounts: Barry Shulman Big Hands: Seed Chops To Stay Alive Again Huck Seed had the last of his chips in the middle again on seventh street, this time against the player in seat 2. Seat 2 thought for a bit before finally calling. Seed chopped last time with the low end of the hand. This time, he tabled JJ44(JKK) for jacks-full. Seat 2 tabled an 8-7 low for the other half of the pot and Seed was sticking around some more with his short stack of 4,800. Schulman Scoops With Diamonds Nick Schulman bet 5,000 after seventh street was dealt and the player in seat 5 made the call. Sirous Jamshidi was also in the hand but mucked after the bet. Schulman announced he had a flush, showing (933)A6210. Seat 5 shook his head and then threw his hand in the muck. Schulman scooped a nice pot and was around 60,000. Hellmuth Bests Hansen Phil Hellmuth led out with 2,500 on fourth street and Gus Hansen made the call. Hellmuth led out for 5,000 on fifth street and Hansen tagged along again. It was the same story on sixth and Hellmuth fired another 5,000 on seventh showing A778. Hansen released his hand, KJ32, relatively quickly and surrendered the pot to Hellmuth. Hellmuth was at 47,000 after the win while Hansen was at 68,000. Habib, Lederer Eliminated We did not catch the two players boards, but Hasan Habib was eliminated by Dario Minieri halfway through level 11. Minieri was at 57,000 At another table, Howard Lederer was ousted by Richard Ashby, who was at 74,000 after the elimination. Gus Takes Pot From Bach Entering the action on 5th street, David Bach beet and was called by Gus Hansen. Hansen continued calling Bach on 6th and 7th streets, and they showed their hands: Hansen: (86)-5923-(4) Hansen showed a straight and the best low hand to scoop the entire pot. Hansen had 80,000 after the hand, while Bach fell to around 52,000. Player Tags: Hasan Habib, Huck Seed, Gus Hansen, Howard Lederer, Phil Hellmuth, Sirous Jamshidi, Nick Schulman |
