Connor Richards

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Chris Brewer was out of position in a heads-up pot against Andre Moreira Marques on a board of Q♣6♥2♣2♥9♥.

Brewer checked on the river and Marques moved all in for around 350,000 with around 400,000 in the pot. Brewer went deep in the tank and eventually called off for around 280,000.

Marques showed top pair with AxQx as Brewer showed the no-good J♦J♥ before heading to the water slide.

At the next table, Ren Lin was all in and at risk against Renat Bohdanov.

Ren Lin: Q♦2♦
Renat Bohdanov: K♥K♣

Lin came close to cracking kings as the flop of 3♦6♥5♦ gave him flush and straight draws, but the board finished out A♥2♠ to mark his elimination.

"Cooler!" laughed Ren Lin.
