UKIPT4 Marbella2: Level 17-22 updates (10,000/20,000 ante 3,000)

7:10pm: Everyone loves a chopped pot"Goodness knows what would've happened if he'd won the pot," quipped some Grafton from the opposite table, which was still close enough to listen to Gareth Hamilton's roar.

In the pot in question Hamilton opened to 45,000 at the button, Javier Elorza three-bet to 155,000 from the large blind and Hamilton went into the tank. He had 591,000 in total and Elorza had around 800,000. After a few minutes of thinking Hamilton announced all-in and after Elorza got a count he made the call.

Elorza: A♥Q♦Hamilton: A♦6♥

Elorza had made a very good call but wasn't rewarded because the flop fell 5♠3♦6♦, a 4♠ at the turn spread out some chop possibilities and the 7♦ river meant there has been a straight on board. Hamilton had clearly been sweating the queen only and set free a might roar thinking he had won the hand before realising it was a chop. -- NW

7pm: Grafton has a fifth of the chips in playSam Grafton has continued to assemble momentum and had almost three million chips after winning two pots of (now) former chip leader Emilio Navarro.

Grafton value bet trip jacks at the river in a single hand to get some off the Spaniard after which a couple of hands later made an entire house and got paid again at the river.

The board read T♦A♠A♥8♠7♣ and Grafton bet an enormous 510,000. Navarro called and was shown A♣7♥ by the Brit. He banged his fist at the table, paid the debt and waked clear of the table. His stack dropped all the way down to 1.2 million. --MC

Grafton: A♥J♥Briga: 2♥2♠

Briga was ecstatic to peer it was a race however the 5♣9♥Q♥ flop gave Grafton hope, an excessive amount of hope apparently. "Sigh at that flop, too many outs," joked Grafton. The Q♠ at the turn gave Grafton much more outs as he could now counterfeit Briga's pair with a five or nine in addition to his pair and flush outs. The 7♥ river completed Grafton's flush and he shook hands with Briga before telling him he'd catch him on the party later. -- NW

6:30pm: Didier Cicurel eliminated in 15th place (€6,780)Marcin Barwinski has taken numerous hits today but every time he's bounced back, usually by eliminating a player. He shrugged off the loss to Jake Cody by eliminating Didier Cicurel in 15th place.

12:40pm: Cody claims some backTeam PokerStars Pro Jake Cody started the day with 354,000 he must've lost some though as despite just winning a large pot he's got roughly 375,000.

The PokerStarsBlog joined the action at the turn there has been 60,000 within the pot and a K♠6♣9♥A♠ board at the felt, Robert Tinnion bet 33,000 and after Cody counted what number of chips he had left in his stack he slid out the decision. The 4♠ river completed the flush draw, Tinnion checked, Cody bet 48,000 and Tinnion tank called. Cody rolled over A♥9♣ for 2 pair and Tinnion mucked.

So Cody as much as 375,000, Tinnion all the way down to 275,000. -- NW

12:32pm: Dalfo wheeled out the doorIt was an unfortunate end for Ladislao Dalfo after he was eliminated despite having a dominating hand.

Christian Ruiz raised to 12,000 from mid position and was committed to name Dalfo's shove for only 50,000 from the small blind.

Dalfo: A♦K♣Ruiz: A♠5♠

The board ran Q♣2♠K♥3♣4♠ to make a wheel and a flush for Ruiz. -- MC

12:20pm: High Roller updateThe High Roller also restarted at noon with 35 of the 114 players still in contention. They include Tom Middleton, Alex Goulder, Duncan McLellan, David Yan but all of them trail Heinz Traut who starts the day as chip leader. -- NW

12:18pm: Dream start for ClemmensenJust just like the Spanish football team last night, Martin Clemmensen has had a dream start and scored a double up. He'll be hoping the remainder of his day doesn't go just like the rest of the match.

He raised from under the gun after which called all in for 80,000 after Hans Stokkenes shoved from the button.

Stokkenes: 9♣9♦Clemmensen: A♥K♥

The board ran 5♣A♠A♣J♦3♦ to make Clemmensen trip aces. Stokkenes was left with around 60,000-- MC

12:10pm: Three early exitsIt didn't take long for the primary exits of the day...

First to move was Cormac Moylan when his pocket tens lost out to Olvedo Heinze's pocket jacks. The Irishman was all-in pre-flop for approximately 20 big blinds.

Then at the next hand at that table Patxi Salinas shoved for 10 big blinds with and got called by the of similarly stacked Yakup Gulkaya. Neither player hit, and the previous professional football player is now a former participant on this poker tournament.

And Israel Pelaz is another early faller. -- NW

12:02pm: Shuffle up and deal!Cards are within the air.
