Koray Turker had been relatively quiet compared to what we are used to.
Then this happened.
We arrived on the river of a board, with over 50,000 in the pot and with overnight chip leader Amant Nauhria leading out for 22,800. On Turker and he had jammed for just over 100,000 extra. Nahria tanked for a long time, getting a count before announcing the call.
Turker simply tapped the table as he turned over for ace-high.
Nahria shouted in joy as he tabled his .
Just like that, Turker is out and Nauhria is once again one of the chip leaders.
Nahria immediately left the table after that big hand and hasn't returned yet.
Pravin Harji has survived a scare to double up and stay alive in the ANZPT Auckland Main Event approaching the money bubble.

Sam Ruha was extremely short when he found himself all in holding against , in a blind versus blind situation. The flop was a scary one for Ruha, but the turn and river meant that he would live to fight another day.
Four spots off the top 24 money-paying positions and Ruha is the shortest stack in the room.

Rendall opened up but would’ve been a little disappointed to see Rimamaki show for the same hand. Chop it up!
Rendall sits with 120,000 with Rimamaki on 90,000.
The flop was a good one for Raybon Kan as he held and had a player at-risk holding . When a hit the turn, the player was drawing dead, but that didn’t stop Kan from calling out “Ten!”
He was clearly looking to hit an elusive royal flush, but the poker gods didn’t hear his call as an completed the board on the river. Kan can’t complain though as one more player has been eliminated and Kan is now up to 175,000.
Constantin Harach’s tournament has come to an end but there wasn’t much he could do about it.
