Reixach Leads at First Break
The chips have been flying around the table in the first 75 minutes of action, yet we remain on the bubble.
The chip lead has changed dramatically, however, with shorter stacks Sergi Reixach and Timothy Adams, languishing at kick-off, now first and second in chips.

Reixach Steals from Imsirovic
Imsirovic made it 36,000 with [Ah6d] and got a call only from Sergi Reixach with [Ks5d].
The flop of [3s2hTs] saw Imsirovic lead for 48,000 and the c-bet got another call.
The turn of [Qs] saw both players continue to hit nothing and both checked, but on the river [Tc] Reixach flipped the script and overbet 200,000, just over a pot-sized bet.
Imsirovic had the best hand but laid it down, and Reixach jovially showed the five. Internally, at least until the stream-watchers catch up with him, Reixcah might be getting under the skin of Imsirovic so far today, and he’s the only one who has.

Adams Goes from Zero to Hero
Timothy Adams made it 38,000 with [AsKc] and Ali Imsirovic had [AhJc], moving all-in. Adams made the call and was in great shape to double up.
“Chop it up?” laughed Imsirovic.
The flop of [7s9s5h] was safe for the stony-faced Adams, and the [2c] turn card kept that the same. The [4d] river confirmed Adams getting a full double up and in that action

Ali Cracks a Milly
Ali Imsirovic is mixing it up almost every hand and making profit orbit after orbit.
Making it 40,000 with [Qh9d], the Bosnian got a call from Sergi Reixach with [As3c] and on the flop of [Qc2s6s], Imsirovic made it 25,000 more, called again by Reixach. The turn [3d] saw a third bet by Imsirovic, but this time it was 110,000 and Reixach couldn’t call.
Raising and taking in the next hand with [6s3s], Imsirovic is called “relentless” by Jeff Platt and Brent Hanks in the PokerGO studio and they’re not wrong. He’s shooting for second place in the overall 2019 British Poker Open leaderboard and going on the attack to get it.

Imsirovic Dominating the Table
Ali Imsirovic has enjoyed a phenomenal couple of years, and the Bosnian has continued to play power poker since the final table began. After a few raises, including just now on the turn against Michael Zhang, Imsirovic is bullying the table into submission and has the chip lead.

Zhang Doubles Through Fox
Fox opened the betting to 28,000 with [Ac7c] and Michael Zhang was going nowhere with [AdKd], raising all-in for 161,000. Fox called.
The flop of [AhKc2s] saw Zhang become a 95% chance and after the [6s] turn and [3c] river, Michael Zhang doubled through Elio Fox, with Fox dropping back down the charts dramatically since he sat down 35 minutes ago.

Reixach Sneaks Past Imsirovic
Imsirovic raised to 30,000 with [QhQc] and Sergi Reixach woke up on the button with [AhTh], electing to call. Timothy Adams and Michael Zhang got out of the way and the two men went heads-up to the flop.
The flop of [3cAc2s] saw both men check, but on the [6h] turn, Imsirovic led out for 12,000, a minimum bet. Called by Reixach, Imsirovic did the same on the river [5s] and Reixach again called, this time to take the pot.

Imsirovic Overtakes Fox
Having gone toe to toe throughout the board, there was 384,000 in the pot on a board displaying [9sQdTc4sJs].
Ali Imsirovic held [Qc8d] and Elio Fox [QsJd], so the young Bosnian took down a big pot to overtake his opponent at the top of the counts.

Reixach Trips Up Imsirovic
Sergi Reixach had [Ah5h] and called a 25,000 bet from Ali Imsirovic pre-flop with [6h6s].
The flop of [5d2d5s] saw Reixach make trips, a well-disguised pot and Imsirovic bet 50,000, which was called by the 29-year-old Reixach.
The turn of [9d] saw Imsirovic make it 55,000 and again Reixach called.
The river of [Kd] saw the flush draw that was out there get in. Reixach bet 75,000 and got a fold from Imsorivic, seeing the two players swap places in the chip counts.
