Over on Table 19 Tu Le and Dejan Divkovic had played out a big hand that went to the river of a 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 for a whole lot of king high. Divkovic on the other hand, turned over with his pair of aces couldn't enough to scoop up the pot and send a player home.
We are now down to 26 remaining players meaning we are two players off the money. Here at Crown Perth, that means we are now going to deal orbit-for-orbit. Just as it sounds, that means dealers have been instructed to deal one orbit and then stop.
David Fragomeni opened with a raise to 5,000 from middle position with James Broom the lone caller in the cutoff position. They took a flop of and Fragomeni led out for 7,000. Broom responded with a raise to 18,200 and Fragomeni made the call.
The turn brought a repeat and Fragomeni checked to Broom who took a glance at his opponent's stack before betting 28,000. Fragomeni quickly called and the river produced a dangerous looking .
Fragomeni tapped the table and Broom didn't waste time in moving all in. Despite being on the bubble, Fragomeni had no fear and made the call with which was too strong for Broom's .
Fragomeni is up to about 340,000 with Broom still in good shape with 330,000.
The orbit-for-orbit play has been slow so far. Two players off the money and the players realise what's at stake. The most exciting thing that has happened in the last ten minutes has been the coloring up of the 500-denomination chips.
Barry Crossey has just been eliminated in 26th place - two off the money. Crossey was all in preflop holding and would have to get lucky against Manjot Singh's .
Unfortunately for Crossey a couple of days of hard work came to an end when a board was spread on the felt.
With 25 players remaining we are now on the bubble and play is hand-for-hand. The next player eliminated will go home empty handed, while the 24 surviving players will be guaranteed at least $3,900 for their efforts.
We are finally in the money, with John "JD" Dichiera the unfortunate bubble boy.
The action went down preflop with Dichiera's last 50,000 or so chips going in the middle holding , but unfortunately Dichiera ran into the dominant of James Broom.
The board bricked out to see Dichiera go home empty-handed as the remaining 24 players are now safely in the money.
Meanwhile Broom is now up to 475,000 and back in control of his table.
