David Wonson has just been crippled at the hands of Jordan Westmorland. We arrived at the table with a flop out on the felt and with Wonson shoving all in for around 100,000. Westmorland made the at-risk call and the action was now on Matt Wakeman on the button. He said, "i really should think about this," before eventually folding.

We blinked and missed it, but the last ten minutes has seen four eliminations from the 2012 ANZPT Queenstown Snowfest Main Event.

The other players sent packing were Yvo Molin and Justin Huege de Serville.

Aaron Benton has just been left with only a couple of big blinds, courtesy of the last lady in the tournament, Tatjana Zizic. The hand in question started when Ivan Zalac opened to 9,000 from under the gun. Benton then three-bet shoved for 65,500 on the button. Unfortunately for Benton, Zizic looked down at in the big blind and also shoved in. Zalac then tank-folded and Benton turned over his .
A in the window was not good for Benton, and with the rest of the board bricking off, Benton was left with just around 8,000 in chips.
With the elimination of the short-stacked Craig Blight, we are down to 18 players and a table redraw has been done. This is what the final two tables look like.
