Peco Stojanovski
Peco Stojanovski

George Moussa opened the hijack to 37,000 and Inwook Choi made the call before Peco Stojanovski three-bet to 157,000 from the big blind.

Moussa dived deep into the tank before folding only to have Choi respond with a 680,000 all in which Stojanovski called to be at risk for his last 441,000 total.

Choi: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Stojanovski: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} to see Stojanovski double to 970,000 as Choi slipped down to 240,000 in chips.

Craig Bourke Eliminated in 14th Place (A$19,050)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Craig Bourke - 14th place
Craig Bourke - 14th place

Craig Bourke limped the button before Peco Stojanovski bumped it to 41,000 from the small blind.

Bourke called, and then on a {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop after Stojanovski open-shoved 186,000, he called that too.

Stojanovski: {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Bourke: {6-Spades}{3-Spades}

With Stojanovski at risk and needing to hold, the turn and river landed the {J-Clubs} and {k-Diamonds} to see him double to 460,000 as Bourke was crippled to just three antes.

The following hand, Bourke found his last 2,000 in the middle against Reza Vakili and George Moussa.

The {5-Spades}{8-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} board was checked down to see Bourke's {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades} fall second best to Vakili's {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} as the PokerStars.net Online Qualifier was forced to the rail in 14th place for a A$19,050 payday.

Fourth Pair for Moussa

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

George Moussa opened to 31,000 from the hijack and Craig Bourke made the call from the small blind to see a {2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop fall.

Both players tapped the table as the {j-Clubs} landed on the turn and Bourke led for 45,000. Moussa made the call, and when the river of the {10-Spades} was greeted by a 85,000-chip bet from Bourke, Moussa made the call.

Bourke tabled his {K-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a busted draw, but it would be Moussa's {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} for fourth-pair that would see him collect the pot to move to 760,000 as Bourke slipped to 230,000 in chips.

Brendon Rubie Eliminated in 15th Place (A$19,050)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Brendon Rubie - 15th place
Brendon Rubie - 15th place

Brendon Rubie entered the pot from the cutoff for all his chips. All 46,000 of them.

Eddy Sabat made the call from the button as the blinds kicked their cards to the muck.

Rubie: {8-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Sabat: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

With Rubie trailing, the last thing he wanted to see on the flop was {10-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} falling to leave himself drawing to only a chop.

The turn of the {A-Hearts} was one the cards Rubie was hoping for on the turn, but when the {K-Diamonds} landed on the river, he was forced to exit to the rail in 15th place for a A$19,050 collect as Sabat climbs to 420,000 in chips.

Top Two for Moussa

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Reza Vakili opened to 25,000 and was flatted by Heinz Kamutzki and George Moussa from the button and small blind respectively.

Moussa led for 35,000 on the {8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop with only Kamutzki making the call as the {9-Clubs} landed on the turn.

Moussa fired out 200,000 and Kamutzki went into the tank before folding the {A-Spades} face up.

Moussa flashed his {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and collected the pot to move to 560,000 as Kamutzki slipped to 335,000 in chips.

Daniel Ling Eliminated in 16th Place (A$19,050)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Daniel Ling - 16th place
Daniel Ling - 16th place

Brendon Rubie opened to 25,000 from under the gun only to have Daniel Ling move all in from hijack.

With the action on Heinz Kamutzki in the small blind, he moved all in for 154,000 and Rubie made the call to put both players at risk.

Ling: {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Kamutzki: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Rubie: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The flop landed {4-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} to keep Kamutzki in the lead, and when the {7-Hearts} landed on the turn, it would ensure he was pushed the pot as Ling made his way to the rail when the {8-Spades} landed on the river.

For his efforts, Ling receives A$19,050 as Rubie is crippled to 69,000 and Kamutzi soars to 390,000 in chips.
