Julian Parmann hits the rail in 20th place
Julian Parmann hits the rail in 20th place

Santi Soriano Ramos opened to 13,300 from middle position and found a call from Ian Parnell on the button before Tamas Lendvai three-bet to 47,500 from the small blind.

With the action on Julian Parmann in the big, he moved all in for 54,500, and when Ramos and Parnell folded, Lendvai made the call.

Parmann: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Lendvai: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

With Parnell announcing he folded {5-}{5-}, the final board of {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} would see Parmann eliminated in 20th place for a $5,212 collect as Lendvai soared to 280,000 in chips.

Leaoasavaii Chipping Up

Danny Leaoasavaii opened to 14,500 from middle position and Srdjan Mitrovic defended his big blind to see a {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop fall.

Mitrovic led for 21,500, and Leaoasavaii smooth-called before the {A-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Mitrovic continued once again for 35,000.

Leaoasavaii slid in a raise to 70,000 and Mitrovic kicked his cards to the muck to slip to 250,000 as Leaoasavaii climbed to 350,000 and change.

Aces for Silk

From the button, Aaron Sue made it 12,500 to go only to have Danny Silk three-bet to 26,500 from the small blind.

Sue made the call as the {Q-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop was checked through to see the {7-Diamonds} land on the turn and Silk fire out 25,000. Sue made it 100,000 to go as Silk committed his final 68,100 in chips.

Sue: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Silk: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

The river of the {K-Hearts} would ensure the double for Silk to 200,000 as Sue was left with only 45,000 in chips.

Wong Walks

Damien Wong
Damien Wong

With the action folding to Damien Wong in the small blind, he made it 12,000 to go, only to have John Harman three-bet to 35,000 from the big.

Wong contemplated for a moment before moving all in for roughly an additional 40,000 and Harman made the call.

Wong: {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Harman: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board rolled out {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} to see Wong eliminated in 21st place for a $4,271 payday as the remaining twenty players all receive a near $1,000 pay jump.

Julius Colman moved all in from middle position and Julian Parmann made the call from the button.

Colman: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Parmann: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

In a similar hand to earlier in the day, it would be Colman at risk this time, and when the board yet again blanked out falling {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, the Melbournian was forced to exit the tournament in 23rd place as Parmann climbed over the 100,000-chip mark.

The board of {A-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} was spread to see Vakalahi exit in 24th place for a $4,271 payday as Silk climbs to 120,000 in chips.

Tom Grigg opened to 10,000 from middle position with both Ardmore Vakalahi and Leo Boxell making the call from late position and the small blind respectively.

Grigg fired out a continuation bet of 15,000 on the {6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} flop with Vakalahi making the call as Boxell bumped it to 50,000. Grigg passed, but Vakalahi made the call as the {4-Hearts} rolled off on the turn and Boxell moved all in for roughly 100,000. Vakalahi made the call, and we were off to a showdown.

Vakalahi: {A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Boxell: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

With Vakalahi drawing dead, the {Q-Hearts} landed on the river to double Boxell up to 350,000 as Vakalahi is left crippled with 10,000 in chips.
