Joachim Chia and Silkin Mong Eliminated in 27th and 28th Place (A$12,145)

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Joachim Chia (27th) and Silkin Mong (28th)
Joachim Chia (27th) and Silkin Mong (28th)

Silkin Mong pushed all in from under the gun for his last 20,500 with Joachim Chia raising it to 42,000 from middle position.

With the action on Stefan Streifeneder on the button, he moved all in, and Chia made the call for an additional 17,000 to also be at risk.

Mong: {J-Spades}{7-Spades}
Chia: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Streifeneder: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The flop of {2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} changed little, and when the {6-Spades} and {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn and river, both Mong and Chia were forced to exit in 28th and 27th place respectively for a A$12,145 payday as Streifeneder soars to 440,000 in chips.

Craig Bourke opened to 14,000 from the cutoff and George Moussa made the call from the big blind.

Moussa made the call to be at risk tabling his {A-Clubs}{6-Spades} to be up against Bourke's {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

The turn and river landed the {6-Diamonds} and {10-Diamonds} to see Moussa double through to 110,000 in chips.

Sabat Doubles Up

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

In the cutoff seat, Jason Brown raised to 16,000. Eddy Sabat moved all in from the big blind for 72,000. Brown made the call.

Sabat: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Brown: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and kept Sabat in the lead in this flip. The turn gave Brown more outs with an added flush draw when the {K-Hearts} fell. The river missed Brown though with the {3-Clubs} and Sabat's eights held up.

Sabat was able to double to 150,000 while Brown dropped to 50,000.

Hansimikali with Quads

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

We caught up with the action on the river in this one. The board read {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and Manuel Hansimikali had bet 50,000. Antoine Amourette made the call holding the {K-}{Q-}. His top two pair wasn't good though, as Hansimikali held the {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for quads.

Hansimikali moved to 430,000 while Amourette dropped back to 415,000.

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

PokerStars Team Pro Canada member Daniel Negreanu opened to 13,500 only to have Giuseppe Scaravilli three-bet to 30,000.

Negreanu made the call to see a {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop fall before checking over to Scaravilli who fired out 40,000.

In response, Negreanu quickly played the check-raise card and moved all in. Scaravilli made the call for his tournament life, and the cards were soon on their backs.

Scaravilli: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Negreanu: {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

With Scaravilli being out-flopped by Negreanu, the turn and river landed the {Q-Hearts} and {4-Diamonds} to see Scaravilli sent to the rail in 26th place for a A$12,145 payday as Negreanu climbs over the 400,000-chip mark.
