Ben Richardson was under the gun when he opened it up to 2,400. Brett Chalhoub then moved all in for 16,300. The rest of the table was out of the way and it was back on Richardson, who eventually opted to make the call.
It was a classic race with Richardson holding and Chalhoub holding . The board was good for Chalhoub as he scooped up the double. Richardson is now down to around 20,000.
One minute we were out amongst the tables and Daniel Levy had a stack of under 100,000 and seemingly the next minute he had up around 190,000. Apparently Levy had taken multiple big pots, including a sizable one off Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang. Now Levy has just lost a big portion of his stack to Wenjian Qiu. However, Levy still has one of the biggest stacks in the room.
The hand started with Daniel Neilson opening to 2,400 from early position. The play folded around to Levy on the button and he three-bet to 5,500. Next to act, from the small blind, was Wenjian Qiu and he would cold four-bet to 17,500. Neilson quickly got out of the way, while Levy opted to move his monster stack all in. Qiu thought for quite a while, eventually calling off his stack of around 65,000.
It was Levy's against Qiu's . Qiu needed to dodge some cards, while Levy would have been hoping to scoop another big pot to see his chip lead soar even higher. The board was favourable to Qiu as both he and Levy now have big respectable stacks.
Michael Fadersen is the latest to hit the rail as the field in the APPT Queenstown Main Event continues to drop away.
Fadersen moved all in for 11,600 from middle position with , but the only problem was the he hadn’t seen Jeff Rossiter who had already moved all in for a little more than that from under the gun. Rossiter opened and had Fadersen in bad shape.
The board ran out to leave Fadersen on the rail as Rossiter received a nice little gift to boost himself to 30,000.
"Did i just win a flip? Check my pulse i might have a heart attack!" quipped Daniel Levy following a hand that saw him eliminate Tobin Ryall. The hand in question saw Ryall's short stack in the middle preflop holding against the of Levy.
The board was no good for Ryall as he was sent to the rail.
