Seymour and Jaffe Clash Again
![[user326915]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Niveau 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jonathan Jaffe and three-time Superbowl champion Richard Seymour clashed yet again in what has become a familiar battle. Seymour opened to 2,700 and Jaffe three-bet to 9,000. Seymour called, and on the flop of 
, checked. The turn of 
had the same reaction, and both checked the river too. Seymour's 
were good enough.
Elsewhere, Phil Laak (50,000) is driving onward, Stephen Chidwick (145,000) is thriving too, but PokerStars Team Pro Jake Cody is only surviving, down to 18,700. Can the ever-popular British triple crown winner bounce back into contention?

Kanit Doubles Through Radoja
Niveau 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Mustapha Kanit (pictured) wears a smile as wide as the River Po at the worst of times, and the Italian is smiling with more energy than a minute ago after doubling up in the $25,000 High Roller here at the PokerStars Championship Bahamas.
Kanit was all-in on the flop 
and held 
. He needed help against Mark Radoja's 
but duly got it on the 
turn and after the river 
leapt up and yelled 'Yes!' The thing is, that can easily sound rude when read in black and white, but Kanit does it all with such a naturally self-effacing quality that, honestly, every other player in the room, even his rivals, seem to love him. The golden smile was flashed once more and he stacked up 80,000, still considerably less than Radoja was left with, but plenty.

Philachack Found Wanting
Niveau 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Andy Philachack was all-in and marginally ahead of Christoph Vogelsand in terms of chips, with 20,000 to Vogelsang's 17,200. A battle of the micro-stacks then, but Vogelsang held pocket aces, way ahead of Philachack's 
. They stayed ahead across the 
and Vogelsang doubled up.
Philachack went out in the next hand when his 2,700 pile was called three-ways, Fabrizio Gonzalez eventually betting the turn on a 
board and getting the others to fold. His 
rode the brick river home and dry against a crestfallen Philachack's 
.

Bryn Kenney and Pierre Neuville each put in 6,600 preflop and saw a flop of

, Neuville check-called a bet of 10,200 and then checked for a third time on the river.
Kenney bet 20,000, leaving himself just 29,000 behind, and Neuville snap-raised all in for right around 50,000. Kenney seemed frustrated, shook his head, and folded his cards.

The Brits Are On a Comeback?
Niveau 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Both PokerStars Team Pros Jake Cody and Liv Boeree have struggled at points during this $25,000 High Roller, with the run of the cards more than anything. But there's building momentum behind each British superstar and with one level to go anything could happen.
Jake Cody doubled up when he had pocket queens in the blinds and doubled up, holding against 
to bounce from ten big blinds to just over 20 big blinds.
Liv Boeree wasn't all-in, but won an interesting hand against Justin Bonomo. Boeree raised under the gun pre-flop to 2,600 and only Bonomo called from the big blind. The flop of 
saw Boeree continue for 2,200, but she was raised to 7,000 by Bonomo. Boeree called, and both players checked the turn. The river of saw Bonomo check to Boeree who made it 8,000 and Bonomo folded, meaning Boeree won without a showdown - valuable currency in mystery to add to the chips at this stage of the night.
