Camosci Captures Lead

Livello 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Mike Watson raised his button to 80,000 and Enrico Camosci defended his big blind. The 10♦9♠3♣ flop was checked through before Camosci made a bet of 120,000 on the 7♥ turn.

Watson called to see the K♠ river, where Camosci bet 240,000. Watson then put Camosci all-in for 400,000, and the latter snap called.

Watson turned over 10♥10♣ for a set, but it was no good against the Q♣J♦ of Camosci, who had rivered a straight and doubled up to the chip lead.

Livello 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Play at the final table has been consisting mostly of preflop shoves and raises without further action.

Chipleader Mike Watson has been benefiting the most of the situation, having accumulated nearly double the chips of his nearest contender.

Astedt Calls for Barry

Livello 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Markkos Ladev raised his button to 80,000, after which Niklas Astedt quickly shoved all in from the big blind for 450,000. Ladev immediately called, much to the dislike of Astedt.

Niklas Astedt: A♣3♥ All in
Markkos Ladev: 10♦10♣

Astedt pleaded for an ace, and his wish would be granted when it arrived on the river on a board of 2♣J♦6♠2♠A♥, doubling him up and getting him even in stacks with Ladev.

Livello 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Enrico Camosci had open-raised from the hijack and Mike Watson had defended the big blind when a flop of K♣8♥Q♠ was spread. Watson checked to Camosci and called once the Italian player bet 45,000.

The 7♣ turn was checked by both before Watson fired a big bet of 200,000 on the K♥ river. Camosci called almost instantly but mucked his cards when Watson revealed K♦10♥ for trip kings.

Livello 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Byron Kaverman opened for 60,000 under the gun and Sam Grafton called in the big blind. Grafton check-called Kaverman's bet of 50,000 on the K♠9♦5♥ flop before the 7♣ turn and 9♠ river were checked down.

Grafton tabled A♣Q♠ for ace-high but it was no good against the 8♠8♥ of Kaverman, who raked in the pot with his pocket pair.

Grafton Gets Shorter, then Doubles

Livello 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Sam Grafton defended his big blind against a raise to 50,000 of Mike Watson in the cutoff. Watson continued for 50,000 on the 9♦7♠5♦ flop, to which Grafton quickly check-folded.

The next hand, Niklas Astedt open-raised from the cutoff and Grafton moved in from the small blind for 193,000. Astedt called it off to put the PokerStars Ambassador at risk.

Sam Grafton: A♠A♦ All in
Niklas Astedt: 5♠5♦

"I'll take a chop," Grafton jokingly stated, but the 10♥J♦9♦4♣J♥ saw his aces hold on for a full double-up.

Watson then fired 150,000, enough to let Ladev fold and take a more prominent lead.
