Gathy Doubles Threw Bishop

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Hand #9
Michael Gathy opened to 35,000 from the button, as the blinds folded their hands.

Hand #10
Benjamin Reason was the first player to act, betting out 33,000 from under the gun. A collection of checks followed, as he took down the blinds and antes.

Hand #11
The hand started with Yueqi Qhu opening to 32,000 from the button, before Jason Duval raised to 100,000 from the small blind. Zhu looked over at Duval��s chips, before releasing his hand.

Hand #12
Michael Gathy opened to 35,000 from late position, and one-by-one, the remaining players in the hand folded.

Hand #13
Action folded around to Jason Duval who opened to 35,000 from the cut-off. Daniel Bishop made the call from the small blind, as both players saw the flop come down {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. Bishop opted to lead out 60,000, which was enough to take down the pot.

Hand #14
Michael Gathy got things rolling, by opening to 35,000 from under the gun. He was called by Daniel Bishop on the button and Jake Cody in the big blind, as the flop came down {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Cody checked, before Gathy threw in a continuation bet of 45,000. Bishop then raised it up to 125,000 as Cody folded his hand. With the option back on Gathy, he moved all in for 407,000 in total. Bishop tanked for a few minutes, before he made the call.

Gathy: {j-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Bishop: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out the {10-Spades} and {9-Clubs} to see Gathy double up through the chip leader.

Hand #15:
Jake Cody raises to 42,000 from the small blind and that gets Michael Gathy to fold.

Final Table Interview: Jake Cody

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Jake Cody
Jake Cody

Eight players remain here in the $1,000 Turbo No-Limit Hold��em event. After eliminating Russell Crane, Team PokerStars Pro and Triple Crown winner Jake Cody is sitting near the top second in chips with around 1.1 million �� around 300,000 chips behind leader Daniel Bishop.

We briefly had an opportunity to chat with Cody before the final table began.

How do you prefer the Turbo over a regular structured event?

Day 1 was really fast but today was played out like a normal tournament. I think the structure of this event was perfect and feel like all the $1,000 or even $1,500 events should have this structure. You lose a lot of players in Day 1, which is great and it��s not a hyper-tournament, so it keeps a good frame.

Is there any moment that helped to get you to the final table?

I came back today to a little above average in chips. I had aces against Noah Vaillancourt��s tens and have been going up from there. It was a pretty crucial moment from that point.

Do you prefer the European Poker Tour over the WSOP?

I think the EPT tour is actually my favorite tour because of the dealers, the location and everything else. At the time same the WSOP is really exciting and it��s fun to see everyone trying to win a bracelet. Their both great tours but I think I slightly prefer the EPT but I��m not at all taking away from the series.

Russell Crane Eliminated in 9th Place ($19,748)

Hand #1: The first hand after the announcement of the final nine players, the first casualty is there. Russell Crane opened under-the-gun plus one to 32,000 and Daniel Bishop made the call. Jake Cody in the cut off took his time and eventually made it 89,000. The button and both blinds folded and the action was back on Crane. He didn't hesitate and shoved all in. Bishop snap folded and Cody made the call.

Crane showed {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and had some catching up to do to Cody's {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Crane flopped a gutshot on {5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} but wouldn't get there. The {10-Spades} on the turn and {Q-Clubs} on the river were no good for him. Crane takes home $19,748, the ramining eight players are now guaranteed $25,539.

Victor Figueroa Eliminated in 10th Place ($15,525)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Victor Figueroa
Victor Figueroa

The first hand after the break Victor Figueroa shoved all in from middle position for 203,000. Directly next to him Daniel Bishop made the call. The cut off and button folded, but Michael Gathy in the small blind seemed interested. He asked for an exact chip count and thought about it for a little while. Eventually he folded and so did Noah Vaillancourt in the big blind.

Victor Figueroa showed his {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}. He was behind against Bishop's {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} but he was drawing live. He wouldn't hit with the {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop, {7-Clubs} turn and {2-Spades} river. The remaining final nine players now have officially made the final table and are guaranteed $19,748.
