Unibet Poker ambassador Espen Jorstad and Unibet e-sporter Philip 'syrinxx' Schoenebaum also made it through to Day 2 and will be hoping they can make the money here in London.Notable name stacks:Jeremy Saderne - 302,000Francis Foord-Brown - 292,500Bhavin Khatri - 249,000Marius Pertea - 230,000Thomas Cazayous - 205,000Espen 'UhlenPoker' Jorstad - 144,500Philip 'syrinxx' Schoenebaum - 77,500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshBarkerPoker Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Early bustouts and doubles! The action has started with a bang here in London, as high roller winner Julien Sitbon busted the very first hand!Bringing through a short stack from Day 1B, Julien found what he thought was the best spot for a double up and shoved A:Spades: 8:Spades:, only to be called by Orestis Kanakopoulos who had J:Clubs: J:Diamonds: and held.Julien has little to be displeased about though, after winning the high roller on Thursday and winning over £40,000!Mike 'The Bookie' Hill has had a nicer start to the Day, doubling up with A:Clubs: A:Hearts: against Juan Ares Gozalo.Other bustouts include Sylvain Loosli, Krisztian Arvai and Augustine Nwaukoni.We are halfway through the first level here and blinds are 1500/3000 with a 500 ante.

JoshBarkerPoker Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think you would have to contact Hendon Mob or the specified poker results stats website in question directly and ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshBarkerPoker Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Ladies having a tough timeCatherine Igvi has busted the main event here in London after getting coolered with Q♦️ Q♣️ and running into the K♠️ K♦️ of Honglin Jiang.The board ran out 5 3 K 7 6 and Catherine hit the rail. A standard spot for her, just unlucky to run into a better hand. She did however cash the high roller on Thursday so it's not all bad for her!From one grim spot to another for a female player, Monica Vaka found herself in an interesting pot with British player Gary Fisher who had caught the attention of some on the feature table yesterday for his talkative nature during hands.The hand started with a raise on the button from Monica to around 6,500, and a call in the big blind from Gary.The flop came down: J♥️ 6♣️ 2♥️Gary then surprisingly led out for 8,500, and Monica replied with a raise to 21,000. Gary quickly called and the turn came a 5♣️.Gary now says "Do you want to play for it all now or keep it friendly?" To which Monica replied "It's up to you!" with a smile on her face. Gary then said "If it's up to me..." and led out again for 26,000. Startled and confused, Monica went into the tank. Gary kept re-itterating "you won't believe I have this hand, trust me," echoing the talking style of William Kassouf. Monica struggled to get her head around what was going on and after tanking for a while and having the clock called on her, she eventually folded and FIsher insinuated he might have had pocket jacks, re-inforcing this by showing the J♦️ after the hand finished. An interesting one for sure, as Monica said she also had a jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshBarkerPoker Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Uhlen and 'syrinxx' both bustoThe Unibet representatives for this tournament are no more!Unibet Poker ambassador Espen 'UhlenPoker' Jorstad busted the main event after whittling down to a short stack and essentially losing a flip with Q J vs 99.And Philip 'syrinxx' Schoenebaum busted to Honglin Jiang after his top pair was no match for Jiang's flopped nut straight.We are down to 53 players here in London with 47 getting paid, meaning the bubble is getting ever closer - only 6 eliminations away. The min cash is £1,870, and as always, updates on that will come as it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshBarkerPoker Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 The bubble has burst!We are down to 47 players here at the Unibet Open London Main Event and that means that everyone remaining has made at least a minimum cash of £1,870.The unlucky bubble boy was British player David Clark after he three-bet shipped in the small blind for 57,500 after a button raise to 12,000 from Thomas Cazayous. Thomas snap called and after making sure all the other hands at the table were complete, the tournament officials got the hand going. Clark showed A:Hearts: Q:Spades: and Cazayous showed T:Clubs: T:Diamonds:. The board ran out: K:Clubs: 7:Diamonds: T:Spades: 3:Spades: 3:Diamonds: for the TT to hold and Clark to unfortunately leave with nothing. Cazayous added to an already impressive stack to take him over 400,000.We have now entered level 15 where blinds are 3000/6000 with a 1000 ante, and just over 40 minutes of the level remaining before the players have their next break.

JoshBarkerPoker Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Le Goff doubles upErik Le Goff has kept his main event dreams alive after doubling up through talkative player Mohammed Suhail, who a level earlier predicted that he was going to win the tournament! Le Goff shoved 71,000 at BB 8,000 with Q♣️ 8♣️ and Suhail re shoved with J♣️ J♦️. A board of Q♥️ 9♣️ A♠️ K♦️ 7♥️ for a pair of queens was enough for Le Goff to double and put a dint in Suhail's stack. 32 players remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshBarkerPoker Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Vaka doubles upThe last remaining lady in the main event Monica Vaka has just doubled up after getting it all in with her last 95,000 with K♣️ J♦️ against the Q♠️ Q ♦️of Preben Stokkan.Lady luck was on her side though as the flop brought 5♠️ K♥️ 6♥️ for her to take the lead with a pair of kings, and the turn 6♣️ and river 7♦️ didn't change anything and Monica doubled up to around 200,000.Monica ran deep in Unibet Open Copenhagen last year and is doing the same again here in London.Blinds are currently 4,000/8,000 with a 1,000 ante, midway through level 16.

JoshBarkerPoker Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Khatri busts Vaka Not long after getting a much needed double up, Monica Vaka has bust the main event after getting it all in pre flop against Unibet regular Bhavin Khatri in the mother of all flips. After a three-bet from Bhavin and a four-bet shove from Monica, Bhavin snap called with Q Q and Monica showed A K and we were off to the races.Unfortunately for Monica, the board came:9 J 6 4 3 and the queens held meaning the last remaining female player has bust the tournament. A great run from her though, she takes home £2,350 for her 30th place finish. Bhavin Khatri on the other hand is up to 540,000. He will be hoping he can final table this event for the 3rd year in a row. Yes, you read that right. In 2016 he came 2nd, followed by a 5th place finish last year, accumulating cashes from those two events of over £60,000. We have just entered level 17 where blinds are 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000 ante. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A:Spades: turn and J:Diamonds: river confirmed that we lost Gunnar Wedde in 17th position, and Jeremy Pantin was put down to just 130,000. In the meantime, Jonathan Schuman managed to get saved by the river after his KK was out flopped by the TT of Tony Blanchandin when a T hit, only for the river to bring the miracle K for Schuman to get to nearly 900,000, and Blanchandin crippled down to 85,000.
