Nick Newport: 66

Valdas Sakinis: K10

Newport’s sixes were in trouble versus Sakinis’ pair of tens, and although he picked up some extra outs on the 5 turn, the 10 river sent him to the rail as the unfortunate bubble boy.

Bartley Busts Faterkinis

Paddy Power Mystery Bounty
Level: 14 | Blinds: 4000/8000 | BB Ante: 8000
Ave. Stack: 222,000 - Prizepool: €23,566 - Field: 15/111

Action folded to Elans Faterkinis in middle position, who moved all in for 41,000. Steven Bartley called in the small blind, and Mick Graydon came along for the ride in the big blind.

On the 724 flop, Bartley wasted little time in announcing he was all-in, leading to a swift fold from Graydon.

Bartley showed JJ for the overpair jacks, while Faterkinis had K9, for king-high, needing help from the board.

The 5 turn and 3 river were clean for Bartley, sending Faterkinis to the rail in 16th, just before the money bubble.

McGuinness Knocks Out De Morais as Webley Misses Out

The Monster Day 1D
Level: 15 | Blinds: 3000/6000 | BB Ante: 6000
Ave. Stack: 193,800 - Prizepool: €200,000 - Field: 49/323

In the last hand of Day 1D Tiago de Morais went all-in UTG, which was followed by Darren McGuinness re-raising to 200,000.

Vanessa Webley looked down at her cards, saw AJ and told the table as she faced the dilemma of whether to call all-in or fold with a short stack.

After time spent in the tank, Webley eventually folded face up and felt relief upon seeing McGuinness’s AK and de Morais’s QQ.

The relief did not last long however as three hearts came down on the board – 835 – Webley exclaiming “I would’ve flopped a flush!” to the shock of the table, while de Morais was looking at a double up with a 10 on the turn.

The river sent him home however, with a the K giving McGuinness the pair of Kings and sending de Morais home in the last hand of the day!
