Unlucky Lunt

Jamie Lunt saw his tournament life on the line when he shoved all-in and received the over-shove from Jackson Zheng. All the other players got out of the way and the two turned their hands over.

Zheng: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Lunt: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Board: {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

No luck for Lunt as he heads to the exit and Zheng takes the pot, building back some momentum

Aces For Rewi

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The hand kicked off with Jonathan Karamalikis raising to 3,400 from middle position, only to be met with an all in from Rewi Emerson. After asking for a count, Karamilikis called the 22,700 bet and the cards were tabled.

Karamalikis: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Emerson: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The flop of {3-Spades}{a-Spades}{7-Spades} gave Emerson a scare, but the board would run out the {10-Hearts} and {7-Diamonds} to see him receive a much needed double up. Emerson is up to 50,000 as Karamalikis falls slightly down to 110,000.

Zheng Smacked Back To Five Figures

Jackson Zheng no longer has the monster stack he once did, with the demise of his chip stack starting with a slew of preflop raises between Zheng and Marcel Schreiner.

It was a six-bet shove from Zheng that would see all of Schreiner's chips in the middle and when he turned over {q-}{q-} he was looking good to double against the {10-}{10-Diamonds} of Zheng.

It is never that easy though, with the flop containing three diamonds and giving Schreiner a sweat for his tournament life as Zheng held a diamond and Schreiner did not.

The turn and river would end up bricking and Zheng took the massive hit to his stack, while Schreiner now sits second in chips to tablemate Tom Grigg.

Schrinzy Taking It Down

Marcel Schreiner started proceedings by raising from under the gun to 3,500. Play folded around to Jeremy MacDonald who called in the big blind.

On a flop of {2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts}, MacDonald checked and Schreiner continued with a 4,400 bet. MacDonald then re-raised to 10,500 which Schreiner called. On the {10-Hearts} turn, MacDonald decided to lead out first, with a bet of 16,000. Schreiner tanked for a minute or so, before pushing out a tower of different denomination chips valuing 51,000. MacDonald folded instantly and the pot was pushed to Schriener.

Grigg Getting It Done

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Tom Grigg
Tom Grigg

You might notice that Tom Grigg has even more chips than he had right before the break. We have the details of the hand that went well into the start of the break and ended up adding another 40,000 chips to Grigg's stack.

The action started on Grigg from under the gun and he opened the pot to 2,500. Play was then folded around to Marcel Schreiner and he three-bet to 7,000. Grigg then tank-raised to 21,200 at which point Schreiner tanked and clicked it to 39,200 with the five-bet.

Grigg again went into the the tank as a rail of players on their break and spectators alike gathered around the table. After some time Grigg announced he was all-in and before Grigg could even finish uttering the words Schreiner's cards were flung into the muck.

With the crowd of rail-birds around Grigg decided he would show his hand, tabling {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.
