Andrew Bradshaw

Patrick Blackwell raised to 80,000 in the hijack, Andrew Bradshaw flat called from the button, and Martin Nielsen three-bet to 280,000 from the small blind. Blackwell folded, and Bradshaw stood up and announced, "All in" for 525,000 effective. Nielson made the call and saw the bad news.

Martin Nielsen: 88 All in
Andrew Bradshaw: 1010

The board ran out with 7JA67, and a pair of tens was good enough for Bradshaw to do a happy dance in true Bradshaw form.

Bradshaw declared, "I did not travel 5,000 miles to fold". Bradshaw had a deep finish in last year's senior event.

River Cards Gets Brea Paid

There were roughly 500,000 chips in the pot on 56Q610, Francis Brea bet 125,000 from the small blind into Yvonne Alton who was under the gun.

Alton took a few moments before she made the call, Brea tabled AQ for top pair and kicker. Alton flashed the A and said "I had Ace-Ten, that river card was so bad".

Aleksivich went into the tank, thinking out loud about what Fellows could have. Eventually, Aleksivich tossed his cards into the muck.
