There are still two tables far away from the rest of the tournament here in the Crown Perth poker room. Below is how a few of the notable players are currently traveling. Both WSOPE Bracelet winner Andrew Hinrichsen and Sal Fazzino are going to need to do some work to survive the night.

Francis Working Back Up
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
Dean Francis didn't have a great start to the day, but has since clawed back above the starting stack, thanks in part, to David Allan.
Francis and Allan recently battled in a hand which we arrived at with a 
flop on the felt. There was another player first to act in this hand, checking from the small blind, at which point Francis led for 1,650. Allan called this bet and the small blind got out of the way as a 
hit the turn.
This time Francis bet 1,725 and Allan quickly folded as he said, "Set of sevens?" Francis sort of shrugged, which prompted Allan to say, "Set of threes?" Francis stayed silent as he raked in his new chips.

Allan All in and Alive
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
Last year's ANZPT Queenstown champion David Allan recently found himself all in on a 
flop. We arrived at the action with Allan's one opponent having a bet of 3,500 out in front of him, at which point Allan had all his chips in the middle - an extra 5,975. Eventually Allan's opponent opted to let his cards go and Allan raked in the pot.
