Bernard McGinley opened to 20,000, before Steven Raeside three-bet jammed for 137,000.

Table big stack Trevor Mills cold four-bet jammed with the covering stack, and McGinley instantly shipped his 135,000 total stack into the middle, creating a crazy three-way all-in scenario on the Day 1b bubble.

Bernard McGinley: K♠K♦
Steven Raeside: A♥Q♦
Trevor Mills: J♣J♦

It was a brutal cooler, and the 7♥6♥5♥ flop kept McGinley in front, but gave Raeside plenty of outs.

The Q♣ improved Raeside, and the 2♥ rolled off on the river to give him the nut flush and triple-up.

McGinley threw his hands in this air in disgust, and departed the table in rapid fashion.

Jason McDonald: A♥K♣

McDonald was crushed in a brutal cooler, and he was up out of his chair after the 10♣9♦9♠ flop.

The 7♠ turn was a brick and McDonald started gathering his possessions, but the A♦ rolled off on the river in cruel fashion, not that McDonald was complaining.

Blyth Patterson limped from early position, and was faced with a raise to 15,000 from David Carson from the cutoff. While action was on Kieran Fleming on the button, Patterson moved all-in out of turn for 44,000.

The remaining players folded, and it was reported that Carson edged a chip forward, but perhaps not over the line, and tabled 9♣9♥.

Patterson had asked if Carson had called, who confirmed he had, before he tabled K♦10♥.

The Q♥8♣7♣ flop and A♣ turn kept Carson in front, and at this point Patterson accused Carson of an angle, and suggested Carson’s head should be dead as he had not put calling chips in, and his actions were an open-fold.

The 8♣ river sent Carson the pot and Patterson to the rail.

Carson was perplexed and offended by the accusation, stating his intentions were obvious, and if anyone was angling, it was Patterson, attempting to alter the outcome of a hand he had lost.

The floor was called, and the dealer confirmed he believed Carson’s actions amounted to a call.

The floor confirmed there were no circumstances in which Carson’s hand could be declared dead in any event, where it was simply tabled, there was no verbal declaration of fold, and it had not sent to the muck.

Patterson took his leave, but returned shortly after, and the players continued to debate who was the angle-shooter for a period before Patterson left the playing area.

David Carson – 185,000
Blyth Patterson – 0

Owens asked how much Woodruff had behind. “About 44,000 roughly. You want to dance?”, Woodruff responded.

Owens accepted the invitation by moving all in with the covering stack, and Woodruff called off.

Darren Woodruff: 9♥9♦
David Owens: J♥J♠

Woodruff was crushed, and looked to be headed for the exits after the Q♠7♦4♦ flop and K♠ turn, but the 9♠ hit on the river, much to Woodruff’s delight.

Owens shook his head forlornly as he paid his dues.

Raeside called to see the J♣6♥5♣ flop, where he check-raised to 20,000 over a continuation bet of 6,500 from McMenamin.

McMenamin took some time to think, before three-bet jamming for 58,500, just covering Raeside, who quickly moved his total stack into the middle.

Steven Raeside: A♣8♣
Mark McMenamin: K♠J♥

It was top pair versus a flush draw, and while the 10♠ turn was a brick, Raeside drilled the 2♣ river, much to McMenamin’s disgust.

Jamie Robertson: K♣J♦
Colin Currie: Q♠9♦
Adib Ghiasi: K♥10♣

It was a flopped straight for Currie versus a duo of two pairs, and the Q♥3♣ runout failed to alter matters.

Henry Owen opened to 2,000 from the cutoff, and received a call from Andrew Hawksby on the button, before Ryan Coburn three-bet jammed from the small blind for 41,000.

Owen spent a good two minutes in the tank before shipping his 25,900 total stack into the middle, and Hawksby got out of the way.

Henry Owen: 7♥7♠
Ryan Coburn: K♥Q♠

It was a fair right, and Owen was up out of his chair when the K♠ became visible in the window before the dealer fanned the full flop.

Most people would have sat straight back down again after it was followed by the 7♣ and 6♣, but Owen remained upright, much to the amusement of the table.

The 9♣8♦ turn and river completed the runout, and Owen finally retook his seat with a double-up.

Henry Owen – 56,300

Gary Bertram: 5♠5♦
Craig Smith: A♠Q♥
Stephen Johnston: A♥8♥

It was a decent spot for Bertram, and both of his opponents bricked the K♦7♦3♥6♦6♣ runout. Smith took the 35,600 side pot versus Johnston.

Plenty of good-natured patter went back and forth between the two, with McKee saying “It’s every time. This is getting personal now!”.

Eventually McKee made the call, and was dismayed to see his K♣K♠ was behind the whole way against Robb’s A♦A♠.

After around 90 seconds, Dadbin said “Do you turn nines to jacks into a bluff?”, looked at the sky, and sent his final 12,800 into the center.

With 12,400 in the middle on a board of Q♣10♠3♠J♣, Richard Jowett fired out a bet of 7,000, only to be faced with a snap all-in from Alen Wilkie with the covering stack.

Jowett had 32,000 behind, and went into the tank, but made the call.

Richard Jowett: 10♣10♥
Alen Wilkie: K♥Q♥

It was a set versus top pair with the wrap draw, and Wilkie pleaded with the dealer for a nine or ace, but the 3♥ river was a brick.

“Nice hand, should have went for that smoke”, laughed Wilkie as Jowett raked in the double-up.

Trevor Mills: J♣J♦

It was a brutal cooler, and the 7♥6♥5♥ flop kept McGinley in front, but gave Raeside plenty of outs.

The Q♣ improved Raeside, and the 2♥ rolled off on the river to give him the nut flush and triple-up.

McGinley threw his hands in this air in disgust, and departed the table in rapid fashion.

Play in Day 1b has now concluded, stay tuned for updated chip counts.

Steven Raeside – 510,000

Blyth Patterson limped from early position, and was faced with a raise to 15,000 from David Carson from the cutoff. While action was on Kieran Fleming on the button, Patterson moved all-in out of turn for 44,000.

The remaining players folded, and it was reported that Carson edged a chip forward, but perhaps not over the line, and tabled 9♣9♥.

Patterson had asked if Carson had called, who confirmed he had, before he tabled K♦10♥.

The Q♥8♣7♣ flop and A♣ turn kept Carson in front, and at this point Patterson accused Carson of an angle, and suggested Carson’s head should be dead as he had not put calling chips in, and his actions were an open-fold.

The 8♣ river sent Carson the pot and Patterson to the rail.

Carson was perplexed and offended by the accusation, stating his intentions were obvious, and if anyone was angling, it was Patterson, attempting to alter the outcome of a hand he had lost.

The floor was called, and the dealer confirmed he believed Carson’s actions amounted to a call.

The floor confirmed there were no circumstances in which Carson’s hand could be declared dead in any event, where it was simply tabled, there was no verbal declaration of fold, and it had not sent to the muck.

Patterson took his leave, but returned shortly after, and the players continued to debate who was the angle-shooter for a period before Patterson left the playing area.

David Carson – 185,000
Blyth Patterson – 0
