Sesay Bubbles the Final Table

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Sulaiman Sesay
Sulaiman Sesay

After sending a double up to Luca Beretta, Sulaiman Sesay was on the short stack with just 370,000 chips remaining. He found himself all in and at risk against [Removed:402] in a coin flip.

[Removed:402]: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Sulaiman Sesay: {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The flop of {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} gave Rinkevicius a set of sevens and things looked grim for Sesay. The {5-Hearts} on the turn gave him a straight draw but the {10-Diamonds} on the river was not meant to be as Sesay was eliminated in 10th place.

The final nine players are now taking a short break before the final table gets underway. PokerNews live coverage will now switch to a 30-minute delay to remain in sync with the live stream.

Carr Holds for a Huge Double Up

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alan Carr opened to 60,000 in the cutoff and Henri Jantunen three-bet shoved all in from the big blind. Carr quickly called off his stack of 735,000 and the cards were on their backs.

Alan Carr: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Henri Jantunen: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

The flop came {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Carr still had a stranglehold on the hand. The {4-Spades} on the turn was an interesting card as Jantunen picked up a flush draw and some chop outs. However, the {6-Clubs} on the river bricked off and Carr picked up a big double up.

Four In a Row for Sesay

Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

After falling down to one of the short stacks early on, Sulaiman Sesay is proving that he will not be picked on by the bigger stacks. Sesay pushed all in back-to-back ends to pick up the blinds and ante and continued his momentum.

Tonio Roeder opened to 55,000 in the hijack and Sesay defended his big blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Sesay checked to Roeder who continued for 45,000. Sesay check-raised to 115,000 and Roeder folded.

In the next hand, [Removed:402] made it 60,000 from the cutoff and Sesay called from the small blind. The flop fell {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Sesay checked. Rinkevicius bet 55,000 and Sesay check-raised again to 140,000 which got a fold from Rinkevicius.
