Mihu Exits Main Event

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

With the board reading {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Lorenc Boci put Cristian Mihu all-in. The short stack pondered but ultimated slid his chips into the middle of the table.

Mihu had top pair, holding the {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} while his opponent had flopped a set with pocket-fours. The {7-Clubs} confirmed Mihu's bust out.

Neophytou Eliminated by Former Champ Jelinek

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Neophytos Neophytou was all in for 160,000 holding {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and would need to win a flip against Steve Jelinek's {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}.

The flop was {2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Neophytou seemingly didn't feel optimistic as he got up in time to see the {j-Hearts} come on the turn giving Jelinek a set. The river was the {3-Clubs} and Neophytou was eliminated.

Jelinek is a former GUKPT champion, and last year won the second largest GUKPT Main Event ever, surpassed only by this Main Event. Can he do the double?

Action was on a {7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades} river with Joshua Boulton having bet 36,000 and Matthew Bonham raising in position to 130,000.

"I can beat seven-deuce of spades," said Boulton. "But I don't think you have seven-deuce of spades.

Bonham replied, listing off a series of strong hands such as pocket sevens or pocket nines.

"You have a good hand?" asked Boulton, with Bonham replying yes.

Boulton called, with Bonham showing {a-}{9-} for trip nines and taking down the pot.
