Tran Topples; Bubble Bursts!
Tom Grigg opened to 10,000 from the button with Linh Tran making the call from the big blind.
The flop fell down 
and Tran checked to Grigg who opted to fire out 10,000 only to have the short-stacked Tran check-raise all in for 41,000. Grigg made the call to put Tran at risk on the bubble.
Tran: 
Grigg: 
With Tran trailing and in need of one of the remaining queens in the deck, the 
on the turn gave him additional outs with any nine or eight seeing the pot chopped off.
As Tran stood behind his chair with his belongings packed in preparation to vacate the tournament area, the 
on the river would ensure his elimination on the bubble as twenty-three players clapped Grigg intensely for ensuring them a guaranteed $4,271 payday.
Parmann Stays Alive
Julius Colman opened to 11,000 from early position only to have Julian Parmann move all in from the button for 26,200. Colman made the call to potentially make Parmann the bubble boy.
Parmann: 
Colman:
Fortunately for Parmann, the board would run out 
to see him double to 54,000 as Colman slips to 98,000 in chips.
Edwards Doubles
With the action on Linh Tran in the small blind, he moved all in with Luke Edwards making the call from the big for his tournament life.
Tran: 
Edwards: 
The board ran out 
to see Edwards make Broadway to move to 108,000 as Tran slips to 50,000 in chips.
Hand-for-Hand
With that recent double elimination, play is now hand-for-hand until we find our bubble boy!
Nauhrai, Bertenshaw Eliminated
Akshay Nauhria moved all in for his last 39,400 from the button and Ropati Toleafoa made the call from the small blind before AJ Bertenshaw committed his last 12,900 from the big blind.
Nauhria: 
Toleafoa: 
Bertenshaw: 
With two players at risk, the 
put them both squarely behind Toleafoa's top pair and kicker as the 
rolled off on the turn to give Bertenshaw a flush draw to stay alive.
Fortunately for Toleafoa, the river landed the to see him send two players to the rail while climbing to 220,000 in chips.
Set for Srdjan
Tom Grigg opened to 10,000 from under the gun and Srdjan Mitrovic made the call next to act as the 
flop fell.
Grigg check-called a 15,000-chip bet as the landed on the turn and Grigg again played the check-call line when Mitrovic fired out 22,000 in chips.
The river landed the 
and once Grigg checked, Mitrovic fired out 55,000 which the APPT Sydney final tablist called.
Mitrovic tabled his 
for a full house as he raked in the pot to move to 320,000 while Grigg slipped to 550,000 in chips.
Courtenay Culled
Tom Grigg opened to 10,000 from early position only to have Sam Courtenay move all in for roughly 100,000 from the big blind.
After deliberating slightly, Grigg made the call to put the first all in player of the day at risk.
Courtenay: 
Grigg: 
With a classic race deciding Courtenay's fate, the 
flop gave Grigg the nuts with top set.
The 
on the turn brought about a gutshot for Courtenay, but when the 
landed on the river, he was forced to hit the rail as Grigg soared to 675,000 in chips.
Edwards Pushing
Following a complete from Linh Tran, Luke Edwards pushed all in from the big blind to force Tran to fold.
The next hand Edwards pushed once again from out of the small blind, and once Eddie Mascadri folded from the big, Edwards collected the pot to move to roughly 50,000 in chips.
