Hand #57 - Yevgeniy Timoshenko

woot woot
woot woot
Neil decides to take a rest this hand and Adam Junglen takes full advantage, making it 40,000 to go. Fuad Serhan makes the call, only for Yevgeniy Timoshenko to bump it up to 160,000 in total. Play screeches to a halt on Junglen who dives headfirst into the think tank. After about thirty seconds, the 20-year old announces raise and slides a huge column of chips across the felt. Serhan ducks out of the way in double-quick time, but Timoshenko calls!

"For the tournament," comments Daniel Negreanu as the hands are revealed.

Timoshenko = {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Junglen = {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

Board = {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Three pair not quite enough, and Timoshenko takes down a crucial, and potentially bracelet winning pot. Junglen, meanwhile, drops down from his previously dizzy heights to 230,000.

Hand #50 - Jesper Hougaard

Adam Junglen has the button in Seat 9. Jesper Hougaard raises to 40,000 and Yevgeniy Timoshenko calls from the big blind. The flop is {J-Spades} {9-Hearts} {7-Clubs}. Timoshenko leads out for 56,000 and Hougaard makes the call. The turn is the {5-Spades}. Timoshenko slowly shuffles his chips before checking, and Hougaard checks behind. The river falls the {Q-Diamonds} and Timoshenko slides out 90,000. Hougaard calls.

Hougaard reveals the {K-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}. Timoshenko goes to muck his hand but is told that he must show his cards-- the {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. Hougaard takes it down.

Hand #49 - Linda Lee Eliminated in 7th (£22,448)

No Lee-way for Linda
No Lee-way for Linda
Short-stacked with just 40,000, Linda Lee peeks down at {K-Spades}{5-Clubs} and deems it worthy enough to make her move. Play folds around to Fuad Serhan in the big blind, who, although hesitant, throws in the extra 34,000 with {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Lee may be ahead before the cards are dealt, but an {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop deals a crushing blow, and although the {5-Diamonds} gives her a glimmer of extra hope, nothing else emerges as the river came a harmless {10-Spades}.
