Barny and Ross Boatman have both made it through to the semi-finals of the Ladbrokes Poker Million VII.

The Hendon Mob brothers will be a real threat when the semis come around in December – Barny the first Boatman to get through in heat two on Wednesday. He was heads-up with Simon Zach who moved all-in with pocket sevens – Barny calling with KQ. The flop came 3A4, the turn was a 9, and the King came on the river to send Barny through – with Ross punching the air in the Green Room as Barny took the upper hand. Moments later, Barny picked up Aces and went for the kill with Zach holding J10. The flop was a killer for Boatman – 3JJ – but the Ace came on the turn and sent Barny through.

Ross didn’t have to wait long for his turn, taking down heat three to make Wednesday’s Ladbrokes Poker Million VII heats a real family affair. Ross was in great form and went heads up with Kenneth Sorensen with 430,000 chips to 170,000 and made short work of the Dane, who moved in with Kc5c and Ross called with 2d2c. The board ran 10d8cJd10h7d and Ross joined his brother in the semis.

There are some cracking heats to come with Dave Devilfish Ulliott taking to the table on Saturday afternoon, taking on Surinder Sunar and Nik Persaud. Before the Fish goes in heat nine, John Tabatabai and Jon ‘Skalie’ Kalmar battle it out in heat eight in the morning.

Marty Smyth, Mike Matusow, Joe Beevers and John Duthie are all part of a mouthwatering heat ten on Monday morning, with Annette Obrestad, Tony G and John Magill hoping to stop Ram Vaswani joining his fellow Hendon Mobsters in the semis in heat 11 on Monday afternoon. Heat 12 finishes things off on Tuesday morning with Juha Helppi, Ian Frazer and Roy ‘The Boy’ Brindley facing off.
