Action started with the player in the hijack opening with a bet of 1,800. From the small blind, Michael Guzzardi asked his opponent how much he had, before tossing 25,000 in chips into the middle. His opponent thought for a moment before making the call for his remaining 15,000.
Opponent: 
Guzzardi: 
The flop of 
kept Guzzardi’s opponent in front, as well as the 
on the turn. The river, however, dropped the 
to give Guzzardi the bigger pair, and send his opponent to the rail empty handed.
“Unlucky mate,” said Guzzardi sincerely, as he scooped in the pot and jumped up to 125,000 in chips.

The remaining 38 players are on their final 10-minute break.
Moments ago, we just witnessed Australia’s Danny Green defeat New Zealand’s Shane Cameron by unanimous point’s decision. Immediately the poker room emptied, leaving just 38 players at the tables, all vying to make the end of Day 1a.
As we close in on the final break of the evening, we decided to walk around the room and try to spot the biggest stacks. Michael Guzzardi and Ivan Zalac both have 90,000 and share the chip lead. After dominating earlier on, Angie Fitzgerald’s stack has been halved, sitting just over 50,000 in chips.

We’re unsure of what happened, but we just spotted Jackson Zheng watching the fight, and his seat empty. Fellow country-men and good friend Cole Swannack, however, is cruising with 46,000 in chips, stacked neatly in front of him.
