Cooler Sends Zalac Packing

Ivan Zalac has just been eliminated in a big cooler versus Sherrie Gelberg. Zalac came over explain what happened, in this hand that boosted Gelberg's stack.

In a multi way pot Zalac played {K-}{Q-}, and the flop brought out {K-}{2-}{7-}. Sherrie Gelberg check-called a bet from Zalac after which the turn brought another {K-}. Gelberg check-called again, and on the river the board paired a second time with a {2-}.

On the river Gelberg put Zalac all in, and he called with his full house. This wasn't enough to secure a double up, as Gelberg turned over {K-}{7-} for a better full house.

Healy Takes One Out

Patrick Healy is one of the early front runners over on Table 33 after he just knocked a player out. The player in question raised under the gun to 300 and four players called. Healy was in the big blind.

The flop came down {9-}{5-}{4-} and Healy checked to the initial raiser who bet 900. After two folds and a call Healy raised it up to 2,100. The initial raiser decided to jam all in, and Healy snap-called after the third player folded.

The Aussie Millions Main Event finalist turned over a set of nines and was well ahead of his opponent's kings. The turn and river brought mere bricks shipping the pot to Healy.

Gorr Gone

The 2011 Aussie Millions Main Event champion David Gorr has been eliminated. He explained how his tournament ended after losing two big pots.

A short stack with 7,900 chips doubled through him, when he managed to hit on ace on the river with {A-}{K-} versus Gorr's {K-}{K-}.

On Gorr's final hand he saw a flop with three opponent which read {8-Clubs}{9-}{J-Clubs}. A player bet 1,500 and Gorr raised it up to 4,500. Gorr was put all in for 9,000 chips and he called with {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Unfortunately he was up against {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}, and nor the turn and river helped him to stay alive.

Set Over Set Over Set

Yeah, you read that correctly. Not two, but three sets were flopped just now over on Table 26! Tim Eduard from Sydney took down the entire pot, and Sherrie Gelberg helped us out gathering all the information about this crazy set up!

Tim Eduard raised it up pre flop, and was called in two spots. The pre flop action was about as quiet as it could be, but on the {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop all three players got their stacks into the middle.

Eduard bet 500, one opponent called and the other raised it up to 1,500. Eduard three-bet to 5,700 and the first caller shoved all in. After some chatter the second player moved all in, and Eduard snap-called.

Tim Eduard{A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Set 2{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Set 3{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Eduard was in amazing shape, and only needed to dodge two cards to scoop this huge pot. In order to seal the deal right away the turn brought the {A-Clubs} and Eduard hit quads. The river completed the board with the {3-Clubs}, and two players were eliminated.

Short Day For Levy

Grant Levy did not have a fortunate day today as he's already been knocked out. The captain of the winning New South Wales team in the State of Origin event was rivered in a very big pot.

After a raise under the gun Levy called with {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} from the small blind. The flop brought out {J-}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}. Levy check-called.

On the turn the {10-Diamonds} hit and Levy checked once more. His opponent bet 1,500 and Levy made it 3,500. The initial raiser put in 10,000 and Levy moved all in. He got called and was up against {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Levy's opponent was looking to catch a spade or king, and he did so when the {K-Spades} showed up.
