Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
We're now on a 15 minute break.
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Chris Day raised to 6,000 in first position and found only one caller in Sergio Aido, who was the big blind. The dealer put out a flop of 
.
Aido, first to act, bet 14,000 which Day smooth called.
The turn was a 
which prompted Aido to bet again, this time 16,000. Again Day called.
The river was the seemingly innocuous 
. Aido thought for a while and pushed out a big bet of 55,000.
This certainly confused the Englishman who took a long while to come to a decision; largely based it would seem on Aidos’ body language.
“I don’t understand why you looked so upset when that last card came and then you bet.” He mused aloud. Day nearly folded, put his cards down and cut out calling chips.
Then he had a change of heart and went with his read. He flicked his cards up, exposing them for all to see.
“He just looked so pained, almost as bad as a speech.”

Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
With a sizeable pot already built preflop Chris Day and Kyle Maguire both checked a 
flop before Day bet 18,600 on the 
turn, Maguire made the call to see the 
on the river.
At this point Day now moved all in for what turned out to be a substantial 97,600. Maguire clearly didn't like this and asked, "Did you flop it?" The Scot ended up folding, Day showed 
for a complete bluff before he admitted, "I actually had way more chips than I thought when I moved all in!"
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
With the flop reading 
Dermot Blain bet 7,200 from the cutoff and Sergio Aido made the call on the button. The pattern repeated itself when Blain bet 14,200 on the 
turn, again Aido made the call. The 
came on river and Blain fired 29,200. Aido was clearly irked by this and looked visibly perplexed for perhaps the first time in the tournament. He took a full five minutes before deciding to eventually muck.
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
A few hands earlier the dealer had asked Chris Day to pass the button to Kyle Maguire. He did so with a flick of the wrist but a little energetically and it crashed into Maguire’s chip stack, scattering them from his carefully built tower.
No harm done and there was a bit of friendly ribbing about penalties and broken teeth. There is a definitely a rivalry developing between these two at this stage.
Now Day opened on the button for 6,000 and Maguire raised from the small blind to 16,500. Day decided to call.
We saw a flop of 
Maguire checked, Day bet 13,900 and Maguire brought out the check raise from his armoury for a bet of 35,000.
Day folded and it was a valuable pot pushed to the gutsy Scotsman.
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Kyle Maguire had been threatening for a few hands that it was nearly shoving time and so it came to pass. Perhaps only the massage he was enjoying had prevented him from doing so thus far.
Maguire opened to 6,000, Sergio Aido popped it up to 16,000 and Maguire moved all-in.
Aido asked for a count and found out it was 94,100. He called and showed 
versus Maguire’s 
.
The cards came down 
Maguire faded the flush draw on the turn to double up.
