Greenwood with a Four Timebank Card Decision
Threeway to a flop of [Ac3cQd], blinds Sam Greenwood ([Ah9h]) and Ivan Leow ([Qs4s]) checked to preflop raiser Ben Heath. He bet 45,000 with [KcTc], called by both players. All three checked the [3s] turn. The [7c] brought in Heath’s flush. It checked to him again and he bet a hefty 300,000 (275,000 in the pot). This bet covered Greenwood, who burned through no fewer than four time extension cards before finally throwing his hand away (Leow passed without doing this).

Chidwick and Mateos Pick Up Quad Queens Between Them
Adrian Mateos raised preflop to 45,000 with [Qdqd]. Over to Stephen Chidwick, with the same hand – [QcQh], who just flat called. Big blind Sam Greenwood came along with [Kd9d].
Flop: [TdTs7s]. Mateos check-called a bet from Chidwick of 40,000 (Greenwood folding). The turn slowed everything down a little, both players checking the [Kh]. On the [4h] river Mateos led for 155,000 and Chidwick called; they split a little bit of Greenwood’s money.

Final Break of the Final Table (for Tonight)
Players are now on their last 10 min break of the day. Whether we reach the paid spots (six) or not, the next 90 minute level will be the last of Day 2 in this Main Event.
Chidwick Down Two, Up Two
Stephen Chidwick dropped a few chips in the middle secton of Level 11, then picked them right back up again. The first lost few went to Adrian Mateos, after he led for 30,000 on a flop of [9dKcTs] with [ThQc], having defended from the small blind preflop. Mateos, with [Js8h] on the button, raised to 105,000 which was enough to take the pot down.
Next up, Chidwick opened to 35,000 in early position with [Ad8d] and called a three-bet from Timothy Adams (110,000 total, his hand [AsQd]) to see a flop of [Ts6h4s]. He check-folded to Adams’ 150,000 bet at this juncture.
The next hand, Chidwick picked up the blinds and ante with a preflop raise to 35,000 with [Adqd].
A short while later, a turned flush vs. Ben Heath won him another pot of 215,000 even after his river bet of 275,000 went uncalled by his compatriot who held [Th8d] on a board of [3c8h4h5hAc] (Chidwick’s hand: [Qh7h]).

Leow Calls Badziakouski’s Jam with Bottom Pair on Turn, Is Briefly Ahead…
Ivan Leow raised to 35,000 when it folded to him on the button with [8c5c], making the call when Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to 125,000 with [Asqs]. On the [5sKcTd] flop, Badziakouski led for 75,000 with his gutshot draw and Leow made the call with a pair of fives. The turn brought the [7s] and an all in move from Badziakouski. This bet was for 375,000, enough to give Leow pause, but in the end he threw in a single call-signifying chip and Badziakouski’s tournament life was on the line.
Overs, spades, jacks: Badziakouski had a good few outs remaining, and the [Ks] was one of them. He doubles back into contention.

Leow’s Stack Re-Plumped
Ivan Leow raised preflop to 35,000 with [Ad7s], called by Mikita Badziakouski on the button with [AcJc] and big blind Adrian Mateos with [Kd2d]. A flop with something for everyone – [7c2s6c] – brought a bet from Leow of 40,000 and two calls. The [Ah] turn brought Badziakouski top pair to go with his nut flush draw; he called when Leow bet 120,000 (Mateos folded). On the [5s], Leow led for 225,000 and Badziakouski called once again, losing a pot of over 700,000.

Vogelsang Spikes River Set
Christoph Vogelsang took over 250,000 chips from Ivan Leow in a pot that saw him outdraw the preflop three-bettor with [6h6d] vs. [TsTc]. Leow had made it 93,000 to go preflop (from 26,000) and Vogelsang called. He proceeded to call two more bets, one on the [Js3h2d] flop and 162,000 on the [8h] turn. The river brought Vogelsang the [6s]; he checked once again but this time Leow declined to bet then kissed his tens and threw them in the muck when he saw Vogelsang’s hand.
