, Eastick instantly threw out a bet of 11,000, forcing folds from Putt and their opponent.

We just arrived at Ashley Warner's table to find the recent ANZPT Melbourne runner-up faced with an all-in decision on a 
flop. There was already around 20,000 in the pot at this point and Warner's opponent was Pravin Harji, who had shoved all-in for his large stack on the flop.
Warner had around 40,000 behind and thought for so long, that a player who wasn't even involved in the hand called time on him. Eventually Warner was told he had thirty seconds to call and decided to get his chips in.
"You have a draw?" asked Warner as he tabled his 
for two overs. Harji did have a draw, turning over his 
.
Unfortunately a would hit the turn and a 
would complete the board on the river, sending the big pot to Harji and Warner out the door.

Emile Gissaud is sitting behind a very sizable stack now, courtesy of recently knocking out a couple of opponents. We didn't catch the action, but apparently Gissaud held 
and hit two pair on the flop against two opponents. One player was all-in preflop with 
and his one pair wasn't good enough, while a player with 
would get all his chips in on the flop. No help came for the gentlemen with aces and with that, Gissaud has just under 200,000.
