Stephen Chidwick is busily playing Chinese poker with Dan Kelly via Bluetooth on an iPad and iPhone, but he interrupted his game to quickly double-up Nikita Nikolaev.
Nikolaev raised to 550 from mid position and then moved all-in when Chidwick three-bet to 1,500 from the big blind. Call.
Chidwick:
Nikolaev:
The board ran
The flop was about as good as it got for Nikolaev as it left Chidwick with one out. It didn't come and he dropped to 7,200 chips.
It seems as if ElkY is having it all his own way at his table. He's up to 30,000 in chips after he eliminated Philip Jacobsen to take his table to seven-handed.
We're not sure how the action went but it seemed as if Jacobsen three-bet all-in from the small blond after an early position raise from the Frenchman. He called with pocket queen and stayed ahead of Jacobsen's king-six.
Daniel Negreanu is staying competitive meanwhile after a double-up. He just tweeted: "doubled thru Shak. Raised 88 button called Shak reraised. I put him on exactly AQ and said so. He shows AQ and the 88 held."
On a flop, Vanessa Selbst checks, Andrew Badecker bets 400 and Selbst check-raises to 1,200, prompting an insta-fold from her opponent. Selbst looks in charge over on Table 18.
The action is on Nick Binger who decides to check the flop putting the action on the recent WPT Grand Prix de Paris champion Matt Waxman, who also checks.
The dealer puts out the on the turn and Binger bets 400 from the small blind, Waxman raises to 1,500 and Binger quickly calls. The river brings the into play and Binger now checks. Waxman, who is busy peeling the prawns in his rice dish, vocally bets 2,500 sending Binger into the tank. He stays for there for just under a minute before relinquishing his hand.
"Good fold bro," said Waxman to his fellow countryman, before continuing to eat his now peeled prawns.
This table only has four players remaining, Waxman, Binger, Andrew Robl and Ryan D'Angelo.
Dan Negreanu has handed over his table chip lead to his neighbour Hasan Anter.
The two were heads-up and post flop Negreanu check-called bets of 1,800 and 4,275 before facing an all-in bet of about 8,500 on the river. The final board read .
Negreanu likes to think aloud when he has the final decision in a hand and it was no different this time.
"You have ace-jack with the jack of diamonds", he voiced. "Or jack-ace with the ace of diamonds; one of the two", he continued.
The Canadian peeked at his cards one last time before releasing his hand to drop to around 14,000 chips.
Two players who are usually flamboyantly dressed, but today look rather smart and casual, Bertand "ElkY" Grospellier and Max Pescatori have just clashed in a button versus small blind battle.
