Graham's Pot Is Better

Gabriellson raises to 150,000 and Matt Graham reraises pot to 525,000 next to him to win the hand.

Mattsson Action...

Mattsson raises to 110,000 getting the blinds.

Mattsson raises again but this time his fellow Swede Gabriellson makes the call but folds to a 180,000 bet on an {A-?} {2-?} {9-?} board. Mattsson shows him {A-?} {A-?}...

The Sirens Are Sounding

Van "Sirens" Marcus
Van "Sirens" Marcus
Josh Arieh opened with a raise to 110,000 before Van "Sirens" Marcus re-popped it for his last 340,000. Arieh made a somewhat reluctant call.

Marcus: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Arieh: {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Marcus clapped his hands in delight at making a straight on the river to double up. After a long toil on the short stack, Marcus is now back to around 700,000 chips.

Almost Interesting Last Four Hands!!!

Arieh opens for 120,000 taking the blinds.

Lunkin raises on the button to 120,000 taking the blinds.

Robin Keston reraises for pot to 450,000 over Josh Arieh's initial 120,000 raise.

Gabriellson limps the button and Graham limps in, Arieh checks.

The flop is {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} and Gabriellson takes it down with a 75,000 bet after the other two have checked.

Chop Chop

Van Marcus and Matt Graham were involved in a brisk preflop raising war that saw the last of Marcus' chips into the middle.

Marcus: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Graham: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}

With both players tabling aces they were looking for some outs to scoop but the board fell {7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and both players chop it up!

Richard Austin Eliminated In 8th Place ($88,681)

Vitaly Lunkin raises from UTG+1 to 120,000, Austin calls in the big blind. The flop is {A-Clubs} {6-Spades} {5-Clubs} and Austin leads out for 120,000 and Lunkin quickly sets him in with Austin calling.

Austin: {9-Hearts} {8-Spades} {7-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} for a pair and a wrap.

Lunkin: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {4-Spades} {2-Clubs} for kings and the nut flush draw with a gutshot.

The turn {J-Hearts} but the river is the {8-Clubs}, it makes Austin a straight, but it also makes Lunkin the nuts and the PLO $5,000 bracelet winner goes out in 8th.
