Kampanatsanyakorn Takes from Hachem

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

The action folded around to Tony Hachem in the cut off who opened to 600. Chane Kampanatsanyakorn made the call from the button, as did Pravin Harji from the big blind.

The flop came down {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{a-Diamonds} as Harji checked his option. Hachem threw out a continuation bet of 1,100 which was only called by Kampanatsanyakorn. When the {k-Clubs} fell on the turn, Hachem checked. Kampanatsanyakorn then reached for his chips and bet out 2,200. A minute passed before Hachem finally released his hand.

Couple of Players Down

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

We have just noticed two players exiting the tournament area. First we saw David Borg making his way to the rail and then this year's ANZPT Queenstown victor Jonathan Bredin followed suit.

We are yet to be told the total entrants for today, but it is certainly far larger than yesterday's 111-player field.

Putt Flushes his Opponent

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

After the player under the gun limped into the pot, Graeme Putt raised it up to 1,200. Everyone got out of the way, as the limper came along for the ride.

The flop came down {8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Putt’s opponent check called a continuation bet of 1,200. The {7-Clubs} fell on turn prompting both players to check their options. The {q-Clubs} completed the board and this time the player under the gun bet out 1,400. Putt was quick to raise it up to 3,300, and after a short pause was called.

“Flush,” announced Putt, as he rolled over his {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. It was good enough to take down as Putt now moves back over his original starting stack.

Schneider Rising

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

We arrived at the table just as Dean Schneider and Jackie Glazier had committed 6,600 each after several raises pre flop.

Both watched as the dealer spread out the {j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop, before both opting to check. The {a-Hearts} on the turn saw Schneider bet out 5,200, and after a minute tank Glazier let her hand go.

Ugly for Tony

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Tony Tartaglia is on the rail and he was kind enough to recall the details of his bustout...and it was a little ugly.

Tartaglia was holding ace-four in a multiway pot as action was checked on a K-9-4 flop. A repeat four was a great card for Tartaglia as the chips went into the middle against his opponent's ace-nine, but a devastating nine-ball on the river saw Tartaglia's tournament brought to an abrupt end.

Alt and Oiberman Exit

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

We recently saw Dinesh Alt get eliminated from the tournament. The 2013 ANZPT Sydney Main Event champion committed all his chips in with {8-Spades}{6-Spades} on a three-spade flop. Unfortunately his opponent had the {a-Spades}{5-Spades} and after missing his straight flush draw on the turn and river, he was sent to the rail.

On a neighbouring table, Nick Oiberman was also eliminated after he called down a hand with top pair against his opponent who had flopped a straight.
