They didn't hold and DrAction is up to 110k.

He then got moved again to table 13, and guess who's sitting there?
Liz Lieu! Thomas waved to her and said: "I'm after you".

DrAction just payed his SB twice :(
The dealer got confused because the player to his left had just busted.
Thomas wasn't sure about it when the hand started though
He even asked me but I wasn't sure as well because I had just arrived.
While the hand was played he realised he was right about it and the dealer realised it as well and apologised but it was too late to change anything about it.

Chip counts during level 12

Blinds are now 800/1600 with a 200 ante
Average: 75.6k
Players left: 110/416 (54 ITM)

DrAction: 140k
PsychoBenny: 38k

DrAction won another nice pot.
I arrived at the river and saw this:

DrAction bet 20k and villain called.
Thomas showed A:dT:d and villain mucked.
15 more minutes until the first break. I'll ask him about the hand then.

DrAction moved again.
This time to table 4 so he'll be good for a while.
Benny is at table 3 so it's easier to follow them now.
I'll see you guys after the break!

Chip counts after level 12

Blinds are now 1000/2000 with a 300 ante
(The ante was supposed to be 200 but they changed it up to 300 to fasten things up. Sounds pretty weird to me but hey, this is Marrakech!)

DrAction: 145k
Benny: 24k

We had another Q:c6:c situation. This time with DrAction.

He openraised JJ and got called by the SB.

Flop: A52 with Flushdraw

DrAction cbets
Villain calls

Turn: A bringing 2nd flushdraw
Pot: 25k
Villain: 16k left

DrAction shoves
Villain calls

DrAction shows JJ
Villain mucks his cards (throws them face down into the middle).
The dealer turned over his cards to reveal AJ for trip Aces.

The dealer wanted to award the pot to the other player but Thomas asked for a ruling.
Matt Savage came declaring that in an all in situation, cards always need to be shown, so the other player could not have mucked.

Benny could not have been happier with his hand when he looked down at pocket aces with a 10bb stack.
He was filled with joy when he got some action and got all in vs another player.

Villain turned over... aces.
Well at least he took a chop of the big antes.

Next level is gonna be 1200/2400 with a 400 ante...

Meanwhile AceOnTheRiver is having fun playing the PLO side event. From what I've seen, there's a lot of 9-way flops.

The board said 416 players with an average of 20k for a while.
It's fixed now and I can tell you we have 90 players left with an average of 92k

Benny needs some chips soon. He just shoved UTG and picked up blinds and antes.

Benny again picked up blinds and antes.
DrAction has got a very big stack now.
He appearanly stacked someone and almost doubled up.
I think he has about 260k in front of him.

Benny took down a pot on the turn.
He bet 3k into about a 20k pot when villain checked two times to him on a AT8K rainbow board. Villain folded.


Wait! The guy mucked trip aces against a weaker hand?

Chip counts after level 14

Blinds are now 1,500/3,000 with a 500 ante
Average: 115.5k
Players left: 72/416 (18 til ITM)

DrAction: 240k
Benny: 180k

DrAction lost a 50k pot vs a shorty. He openraised with QJ and the shorty shoved.
He didn't really want to call because he knew the player was really tight but he couldn't fold cause his odds were to good.

He was happy to see the other guy only held J8s but villain hit his flush.

You win some, you lose some.
Benny first won a small pot. No idea about preflop action but he was OOP and bet 3k on the flop vs the guy who folded earlier when he also made a small bet of 3k. On the turn Benny bet out big, 21k and the other guy folded.

Then...

MP openraises to 8k
Benny on the CO calls

Flop: K:cT:c2:c

Villain checks
Benny instachecks behind

Turn: 5:d

Villain bets 12k
Benny calls

River: A:s

Villain checks
Benny checks

Villain shows K:s9:d for a pair of kings
Benny mucks
