The players in Event 11 were just on a short break, and we took this chance to count the stacks of the remaining 10 players. The blinds are about to switch to level 22 – 30K/60K/5K – and given the stack sizes we should be seeing chips flying in the next few minutes, as the average player sits on only 5 big blinds.

Action seems to have picked up a little since the players in Event 11 have arrived at the final table.

Majid increased his lead by winning a few pots to start the final, and on the hand before the break, we witnessed a 3-way all-in. No one was eliminated from the table, but stacks were definitely shifted.

Nicola was the first to pull the trigger, as he pushed for 243,000 from early position. Peter was all-in from middle position for 126,000, and Kim then moved in herself for 155,000. Majid tanked for a few moments before reluctantly folding his hand, and the blinds and button released their hands.

Peter found a set of 5s to win a big triple up, while Kim and Nicola took considerable hits to their stacks.

Hand-for-hand had just come into effect when Nicola Basile was sitting on the (second) nuts on a flop of . His opponent Jacques Villeneuve moved-in on him, and Nicola made the quick call to table . Jacques tabled and was drawing very thin, and with and as the running cards, Nicola scooped the pot to bring Event 11 into the money!

Congratulations!

Below are the final two tables of Event 11:

The Seniors’ Event is down to just 30 players of the 151 that began the night, and with 16 places scheduled to be paid, the pressure of making it in the money will likely be taking an effect on the remaining players.

Denis Scott continues to lead the field, and has grown his stack to over 325,000. Mazeltov has jumped into second place with a stack of around 225,000, while Kim Kilroy is making her presence felt as she sits on nearly 200,000. Nicola Basile slipped down the leaderboard following last break, however has just recently knocked a player out bringing him up near 190,000 in chips.
