The remaining players have been sent on their final 10-minute break of the night. Two more levels after this and Day 2 will be all over.
David Allan has been right up the top of the chip leader board for much of the last day and a half. That continues to be the case now that the Day 2 flights have merged, with Allan recently taking down the following pot against David Wonson.
We arrived at the action with a flop on the felt and with Wonson checking to Allan, who bet 3,900. Wonson made the call and a was dealt on the turn. This time Wonson instantly led for 17,000 and Allan called almost as quickly. On the river, both players would check and Wonson would turn over . That wasn't strong enough for Allan's and with that, Allan raked in the nice pot.

Jarred Graham is one of the finest and most credentialed live players in Australia. Unfortunately he won’t be adding a result to his record here in Queenstown after his recently elimination.
Action folded to Graham in the small blind who shoved his short stack with with Joel Feldman making the call in the big blind with . The board ran out with three clubs to deliver a flush for Feldman to end Graham’s tournament.

With a limp from the under-the-gun player, Anthony Aston would raise it up to 3,200 one spot to their left. Laurynas Levinskas then put in a three- bet to 6,400 on the button. Action folded back to Aston who re-raised to 16,400 but Levinskas immediately moved all in. Aston started the hand with about 30,000 in chips, but with half of his stack already in the middle, he quickly called off the rest.

There was obviously a dynamic between these two players as the aggression of Levinskas saw his jacks get action from Aston with his ace-jack.
Aston was looking for an ace to survive, and with ANZ POTY contender Mishel Anunu watching on from the rail, the board ran out . Aston is out as the Lithuanian is back up to nearly 100,000.
