Zmukic Picks Off The Toothpick

Australian cult hero, Antonis "Toothpick Tony" Kambouroglou has been eliminated in a cooler at the hands of Vesko Zmukic.

Toothpick hit a set of jacks on the flop but they were behind Zmukic's set of kings to leave Toothpick crippled and eliminated a few moments later. Zmukic is now up to 23,000 chips to be amongst our chip leaders.

The Big Show Has Been Cancelled

Topakas will certainly be back on the air in tomorrow's event.
Topakas will certainly be back on the air in tomorrow's event.
On a board reading {5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{a-Diamonds} Steve "The Big Show" Topakas moved all in from the small blind for 1,600 and was called by the big blind and a player in the cut off. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the river was the {4-Clubs} and the players revealed their cards.

Topakas: {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Big Blind: {6-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Cut Off: {8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Topakas could not hit his flush, and was eliminated from the tournament.

Assadourian and Kirk Out

The shenanigans continue on table 28 as Matthew Kirk continues to gamble and the tournament directors become a little agitated.

Eric Assadourian was caught in the middle as he got his last chips in the middle with {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. He was up against Kirk and a third player on the button who took down the pot holding {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} when the board was spread {8-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

Kirk's run came to an end soon after as he shoved three hands in a row in the dark and eventually met his demise as he happily joined the big cash game.

Kirk Not Ready For The Cash Games Just Yet

It looks like it's time to gamble!

We've been told that Stewart Scott, Eric Assadourian and Matthew Kirk all agreed to go all in preflop without looking at their cards, but after seeing their holdings we're not so sure...

Assadourian: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades}
Scott: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Kirk: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

The board was spread {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Kirk makes an unlikely backdoor straight to take down the pot, crippling Assadourian and eliminating Scott in the process. Kirk was pretty keen to get over to the big cash game which is starting up but looks like he'll have to stick around a little longer.

Selbst Soars

Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst was eager to recall a hand to us that saw her jump out to the tournament chip lead.

With a raise to 400 in front of her, Selbst popped it to 1,100 from the button with her opponent making the call.

The flop fell {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and action checked to Selbst who fired 1,400. Her opponent check-raised the size of the pot, before Selbst moved all in. Her opponent made the call.

Selbst: {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

It was all over on the turn as a {6-?} fell to give her an unbeatable full house, as the river bricked.

Selbst is up to 19,800 in chips.

Hull Claims Chu

Hai Bo Chu has been sent to the rail after clashing preflop with Brian Hull.

It was Chu's {8-?}{9-?}{10-?}{J-?} up against Hull's {A-?}{A-?}{8-?}{Q-?}. It was pretty much all over on the flop as the board ran out {Q-?}{Q-?}{A-?}{4-?}{5-?} to give Hull a full house.

Chu hit the rail and Hull stacked up 9,500 chips as Sam Khouiss claimed to have folded kings knowing that Hull "1000% had aces!"
