Emmett Scott Eliminated in 17th place (�3,000)

Frank Visser

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Emmett Scott
Emmett Scott

Emmett Scott was on the button and got all of his chips in against John Hanaphy in the small blind, with Hanaphy being at risk.

John Hanaphy: A?J?
Emmett Scott: 3?3?

Scott's threes remained ahead up until the turn on 10?6?4?4?, although it did bring some counterfeit outs. The A? river saw Hanaphy hit top pair, however, and he won the pot.

After the count, Scott was left with just 45,000 chips, which he got in the next hand versus the same opponent.

Emmett Scott: 5?4?
John Hanaphy: K?10?

Hanaphy hit top pair again on 8?10?2?7?5?, and this time it was enough to send Scott home in 17th place, barely missing out on the final two tables.

Jamie Flynn
Jamie Flynn

Jamie Flynn had become short-stacked and moved all in for his last 250,000 from the button.

Tarka Roche three-bet to 900,000 from the small blind which disposed of the big blind.

Jamie Flynn: K?9?
Tarka Roche: K?6?

Flynn was in good shape with a dominating king-high but the 6?8?3? flop gave Roche the lead with a pair of sixes and he stayed there during the K? turn and 8? river, Roche sending him to the exit with two pair.

River Shines Bright

Frank Visser
Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jamie Flynn and Cathal Shine got it all in preflop, with Shine's 1,480,000 stack being at risk.

Cathal Shine: 10?10?
Jamie Flynn: K?K?

It was looking game over for Shine on the 2?9?3?8? runout, but the 10? river brought one of his two outs.

Flynn paid Shine what he was owed, and was left distraught with just four big blinds to his name.

Tomas Geleziunas

Tomas Geleziunas had three-bet Barry McMahon to 600,000 preflop from the big blind, and McMahon called from the button. Geleziunas then continued for 300,000 on the Q?J?4? flop, followed by another call from his opponent.

He then slowed down and checked the 5? turn, after which McMahon bet 1,050,000. Geleziunas responded by jamming for 1,595,000, and McMahon called after some deliberation.

Tomas Geleziunas: Q?Q?
Barry McMahon: 7?7?

Geleziunas' overpair was up against the straight and set draw of McMahon, who bricked out when the J? river paired the board. Geleziunas doubled his stack while former chipleader McMahon was still left with almost double the average
