River Bet Doesn't Pay Off for Le

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Over on Table 19 Tu Le and Dejan Divkovic had played out a big hand that went to the river of a {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} board. There was already a substantial amount in the pot at this point and Divkovic was busy checking to Le.

At this point Le moved all in for just over 40,000 and Divkovic went deep into the tank. Eventually Divkovic made the call and Le got out of his seat as he tabled {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a whole lot of king high. Divkovic on the other hand, turned over {a-Hearts}{3-Spades} with his pair of aces couldn't enough to scoop up the pot and send a player home.

Rob the King of Queens

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Nigel Brine was unlucky to see his all-in preflop holding {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} run into the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} of Robert Forward. Brine would get even unluckier from there, with the {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts} leaving him all but drawing dead. The {2-Clubs} turn and {2-Diamonds} river weren't what Brine was looking for and it was all over.

We are now down to three tables of nine and just three spots off the money!

Seal Sent Sailing

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Tu Le started the day as one of the shortest stacks, but has since found some good fortune to double up and then eliminate Emanuel Seal.

The final hand of Seal's ANZPT Perth saw Seal all-in preflop holding {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and he was coming up against the {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} of Le. When the dealer spread out a {10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} board, Seal was sent home, while Le is now prospering with just under the average stack.

Gorr No More

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Our 2011 Aussie Millions Main Event champ has just found the rail short of making the money here in the ANZPT Perth Main Event.

Gorr's final hand saw him all in holding {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} on a {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop. Gorr was up against Michael Feizpour, who held {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. Unfortunately for Gorr, a {j-Spades} turn and an {a-Spades} weren't what he was looking for and that was all she wrote. Gorr said a warm goodbye to his table mates and can now go enjoy his day in Perth.

Boyd the Next One Home

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

David Boyd is the next player to find himself on the rail after a short day here on Day 3. Boyd's final hand saw all his chips go in the middle on a {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop against Dejan Divkovic. Boyd held {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and would need some help against Divkovic's {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

The {8-Diamonds} turn and the {3-Clubs} river were no help and Boyd was sent packing several places away from the money.

Broom Stands Tall at ANZPT Perth

Welcome to the penultimate day of play here at the third stop on Season 5 of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour.

Today will see the 33 surviving players become just a final table of nine. Before that happens we will burst through the bubble and into the 24 money-paying positions. The min-cash is worth $3,900, but nine players today will be going home empty handed.

One player who is unlikely to go home with no cash for their time is James Broom. A huge day at the felt yesterday saw Broom accumulate a 317,300-chip stack. With Broom's decorated resume on both the live and online felts, he will certainly be the one to beat on Day 3.

Be sure to check out the full Day 3 table draw earlier in the blog, while the top ten chip stacks can be seen below.
