Chris Brewer: {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Stephen Chidwick: {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The flop of {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} put Brewer well out front with a pair of nines. The {5-Hearts} on the turn gave Chidwick some hope but the {9-Hearts} on the river secured the double for Brewer.

Mokri Flips Better than Mateos

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 3,500 in the cutoff and Stephen Chidwick flat-called on the button. Kayhan Mokri three-bet to 17,500 from the small blind and Mateos responded with a four-bet shove for 90,000. Chidwick folded and Mokri stuck in the chips, just covering Mateos.

Adrian Mateos: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Kayhan Mokri: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The flop came {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Mateos picked up a straight draw to go with his two over cards. However, the {5-Clubs} and {7-Spades} runout was no help and Mateos was forced to the rail.
