There's more than 20m in the pot as we reach the river of a
2♦ 4♣
J♥ 4♥ J♣ board, when Mark Newhouse moves his last 10.2m over the line with
10♥ 10?clubs;.
After a short dwell, William Tonking calls with
Q♦ Q♣ and, remarkably, Newhouse is eliminated in 9th for the second year running.

Van Hoof Blows Larrabe Out of the Water
11/11/2014 03:06:51
Jorryt van Hoof opens for 1m with K♣
10♥ and gets a call from Andoni Larrabe with
9♥ 8♣.
Both players connect with the 10♣
J♥ 9♦ flop and Larrabe calls van Hoof's 1.4m c-bet.
The
K♥ turn gave the Dutchman two pair, but Larrabe chose to lead for 3.35m. Van Hoof made the call after some deliberation, before the 7♣ put two potential straights on the board.
Larrabe checked his lower straight and it looked like van Hoof was about to check behind, but instead he opted to shove all in. It was a huge overbet, 17m into a pot of less than 13m, and it was enough to force Larrabe to fold the best hand.

Billy Pappaconstantinou raises with pocket 8s and gets a call from Felix Stephensen in the big blind with

K♦ turn, check-calling a 1.75m bet. However Stephensen's 4m bet on the
7♥ river, moving the London-based pro into the lead.
