Swannack: {10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Lendvai: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

The board rolled out {2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} to see Swannack's all in steal unable to ensure him the double up as he made his way to the rail.

Barrett Busts

Josh Barrett eliminated
Josh Barrett eliminated

Facing a button raise, Josh Barrett three-bet all in for an additional 7,525 from the big blind with his opponent quickly making the call.

Barrett: {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

With Barrett dominated, the {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} flop would be one of the worst he could see as it left him with only running outs to take the lead or in need of a lone ten to chop.

The turn of the {8-Clubs} left him only drawing to a split, and when the river landed the {9-Diamonds}, Barrett exited the tournament.

Cohen Culled

Julian Cohen
Julian Cohen

Julian Cohen has just been sent to the rail after seeing the last of his chips enter the pot on the flop.

With Cohen holding {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} on a {6-}{7-}{2-} two diamond board, he would be up against Nauv Kashyap's {7-}{6-} for two pair.

Unfortunately for the Melbournian, he would be unable to complete his flush as the board bricked out to see Kashyup claim another victim to move well over the 170,000 in chips.

No 'Final Table' Nelson This Year

Lee Nelson
Lee Nelson

Lee 'Final Table' Nelson opened with a raise to 2,200 and found only a caller in Leo Boxell.

The flop fell down {K-}{7-}{J-} and Nelson continued with a 3,200-chip bet which Boxell called as a blank {8-} fell on the turn.

Nelson fired out 8,200 and Boxell raised to 25,000 to effectively put Nelson all in. The 2006 Aussie Millions Champion made the call to be at risk for his tournament life.

Nelson: {K-}{Q-}
Boxell: {A-}{J-}

With Nelson in the lead holding top pair, Boxell would strike lightening on the river when the {A-} spiked on the river to improve Boxell's holding to two pair as the last Team PokerStars Pro was sent to the rail.

Hinrichsen Over 100k

Andrew Hinrichsen
Andrew Hinrichsen

Andrew Hinrichsen opened to 2,000 from the under the gun and found callers from two players to see a {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop fall.

Hinrichsen continued with a 3,500-chip continuation-bet with Srdjan Mitrovic on his direct left making the call as the {8-Hearts} rolled off on the turn.

Hinrichsen checked and Mitrovic fired out 5,100 only to have Hinrichsen check-raise to 13,000. Mitrovic responded with a three-bet to 20,600 as Hinrichsen smooth-called.

The river of the {6-Clubs} went check-check with Mitrovic tabling his {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, but it would be Hinrichsen's {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} that would see him collect the pot and move to 105,000 as Mitrovic slipped to 29,000 in chips.

Carl Gray moved all in for his last 8,450 from under the gun with Jason Wilton making the call in middle position.

Gray: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Wilton: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Spades}{9-Clubs} to see Gray eliminated and Wilton climb to 60,000 in chips.
