Zheng Doubles Through the Team Pro
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Jackson Zheng came into day as one of our short stacks, but he’s now up to a stack of 40,000 after a nice double up through Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang.
We’re not sure when the chips went into the middle, but Zheng caught a nice river on the board of 
holding 
to double through Huang’s 
.

Bredin Booms
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Jonathan Bredin is now one of the chip leaders here on Day 2 of the APPT Queenstown Main Event after dispatching of Australia’s number one online-ranked player in Matthew Wakeman. Bredin had opened for a min-raise under the gun and Michael Chon flat called before Wakeman jammed for another 19,700 on top. Bredin happily called as Chon got out of the way.
Wakeman opened 
but Bredin had him crushed with 
. The flop of 
smacked Bredin with a set and the 
turn was the icing on the cake as Bredin made quad aces. The meaningless river was the as Wakeman departs to leave Bredin with a monster stack of 115,000 chips.

A Hush Fills the Room
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Just a few minutes ago and all we (and most of the room) could hear was Oliver Gill telling merry tales of bad beats, great plays and everything in between.
Then...
Suddenly...
Silence.
We didn't catch the hand, but with no Gill to be seen (or heard), it is a certainty that he has been eliminated here on Day 2 of the ANZPT Queenstown Main Event. However, the beauties of social media tell us the story from Gill's point of view:
"Sigh busted raj ramikrishnan accidentally turned the best hand into a bluff on the river then had such a huge weak tell I had to call obv he has my one pair out kicked and even says guess you win apparently I levelled myself"

Kroesen Sends Shanahan Home
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Ricky Kroesen started the day with just 6,875 in chips - one of the smallest stacks in the room. Now Kroesen is on over 40,000 and plenty of those chips were recently added to his stack when he sent Andrew Shanahan home.
We arrived at the action with a 
flop on the felt and with Shanahan first to act and moving all in for 7,500. Kroesen then jammed his 25,900 in the middle and it was on the one remaining player from the button. He folded and Shanahan was at risk.
"Flush draw," said Kroesen, tabling his 
.
"Oh i'm in front," replied Shanahan as he turned over 
.
"No i'm not," added Shanahan when the dealer turned over a 
on the turn to give Kroesen the flush.
The 
river was of no consequence to the hand and with that another player was eliminated.

One Out, One Doubles
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
We arrived at Table 5 to find two players all in against Ben Richardson. It was Madis Muur all in from the cutoff for 16,300, Richardson had flat-called the button and Ali Ghezelbash was all in for his tiny stack from the small blind. Check out what cards the players had below.
Richardson:
Muur: 
(at risk)
Ghezelbash: 
(at risk)
The 
board was a good one for Muur as he was able to scoop up the entire pot to sit healthily, while Ghezelbash was eliminated.
