That's the end of play for level eight. Two more levels to go. -- RD
11.48pm: Three streets with eight-high
Edvinas Urbonas showed no doubt shoving in his final 12,000 into the [ac][jh][9c][5h][3h] board. Would his opponent call?
Let's look at the facts. There was around 45,000 in the middle and Urbonas had three-bet to 8,000 from the button and had been called by Paul Doherty who had check-called 5,200 on the flop and 7,000 on the turn.
Surely, he'd call the third barrel on that river card? No, he passed. Urbonas threw down [8c][4c] with an angry pride (I'd witnessed him kicking a chair after getting busted from a different tournament). He's up to 67,000. Doherty was left looking shame-faced. -- RD
