Marsland Enjoys Success on Home Felt
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Dale Marsland may now be based out of Melbourne, but he clearly has an affinity for his home felt here in Western Australia. Just last year Marsland took down three titles in one week during the Western Classic. That earned him a Player of the Series and plenty of bragging rights to go along with it. Marsland is now once again crushing the Crown Perth felt and despite it being early days, we would argue that Marsland is going to be one to watch this coming weekend.
We recently arrived at Marsland's table to find Marsland and one opponent on the river of a 
board. The player led for 6,200 and Marsland leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. Eventually Marsland tossed out a call and his opponent tabled 
. Marsland showed his 
and that was enough to scoop up the pot and see his stack move to around 60,000 in chips.

Benson Doing Just Fine
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
We recently watched Gary Benson partake in a hand that saw the Australian Poker Hall of Fame member tank on the turn of a 
board for almost five minutes. There was over 10,000 in the pot at this point and Benson checked to his one opponent, who bet 5,100. This is when Benson went into the tank. The veteran players moved around in his chair several times, asked the player to move his hands so he could see his stack, and played with his chips over and over. Eventually Benson sort of gave a sigh and let his cards fly into the muck.
Despite losing this sizable pot, Benson is still doing fine with well over 40,000 in chips.

Jeffreys Still Cruising
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Andrew Jeffreys has seemingly settled into a rhythm following his excitement earlier in the day, but that doesn't mean he has slowed his play down. We recently watched Jeffreys check to one opponent on a 
flop. The player bet 3,500, at which point Jeffreys confidently said "Thirty-five, five hundred". This bet prompted Jeffreys to tank and eventually fold as Jeffreys nonchalantly raked in the pot.

No More Neilson
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Daniel Neilson has made a late exit from Day 1a of the ANZPT Perth Main Event. Neilson's final moments saw him all in for 9,350 from the cutoff holding 
. The player on the button had Neilson at risk holding 
.
Neilson was already behind and it stayed that way as the dealer spread out a 
board.

No Good for Ricky
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
By the time we arrived at Ricky Kroesen's table, there was a 
flop on the felt and Kroesen was going up against the player in the small blind. Kroesen's opponent opted to check, at which point Kroesen bet 1,700. A call would see a land on the turn and another check would see Kroesen lead for 2,275. The player opted to check-raise here, making it 5,100 to go. Kroesen took his time before making it an extra 3,150 to go. This time Kroesen's opponent wouldn't relent, opting to move all in. Kroesen immediately folded and told his opponent "well played."
Despite losing some chips on the above hand, Kroesen is doing just fine with a healthy stack of around 50,000.
