The action is as fast as Benny Hill on forward wind at the moment as we witness simultaneous double-ups. On the far table, it was Frank Kassela whose stack increased two-fold, the short stack seeking revenge on Georgios Kapalas who had left him short after an earlier encounter.
After a couple of raises (Kassela lighting the first match under the gun), Kassela found himself all in preflop with and in need of divine assistance versus . But the Poker Gods were watching intently, and after a harmless flop (at which point Kassela rose from his seat), they duly popped a on the turn followed by a river.
"Nice to get lucky," beamed Kassela as Kapalas shook his head in frustration. He's now back up to around the 75,000 mark.
Meanwhile, on the other table, Terrence Chan doubled Mark Burford up to 100,000, no good against on an action-packed flop.
If it continues like this, we could be done by dinner!
Good morning and welcome back to the Amazon Room where the final day of the $1,500 Limit Hold'em should be kicking off in around an hour.
After more than 12 hours of play yesterday we failed to reach a final table, but at 13 players we're not far off. Jason Potter leads the field at the the moment on 371,000, but there are three other players over the 300,000 mark and with the limits getting big now, one big hand can change everything.
