Huge Queens Double for Kramer

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Darren Kramer entered the button with a raise to 180,000 only to have Justin Cohen move all in for roughly 2,900,000. Once Martin Drewe passed in the big blind, Kramer instantly made the call.

Cohen: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Kramer: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

WIth Kramer in great shape to double for his 2,600,000, the {2-Hearts}{A-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop kept him in the lead as the - oh so close - {7-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Two cards in the deck for Kramer to fade, and the {3-Spades} wasn't one of them as he collected the double to 5,310,000 while Cohen was left with just 400,000 in chips.

Nik Lackovic Eliminated in 4th Place (AUD$65,220)

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Nik Lackovic - 4th place
Nik Lackovic - 4th place

From the button, Nik Lackovic shipped his last 780,000 and Martin Drewe made the call from the big blind.

Lackovic: {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Drewe: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The flop of {K-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} kept Drewe in the lead as the {9-Clubs} landed on the turn to give Lackovic a gutshot straight draw to go along with his ten.

Unfortunately for the Western Australian, the {8-Hearts} on the river would end his tournament in fourth place for a handy AUD$65,220 as Drewe climbs to 4,400,000 in chips.

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Vito Dalessandri - 5th place
Vito Dalessandri - 5th place

Four players would pay the minimum to see a flop, with Vito Dalessandri, Nik Lackovic, Martin Drewe and Justin Cohen all coming along for the ride.

Flop: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Checked to Dalessandri, the short satck at the table shipped his stack allin. Cohen made the call and the other two got out of the way.

Dalessandri: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Cohen: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}

Trips for Cohen and a bricked turn and river enough to send Dalessandri home in 5th place, collecting AUD$52,200.

Deuces for Dalessandri

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Martin Drewe entered the pot from the button with a raise to 160,000 only to have Vito Dalessandri three-bet shove for 550,000.

Drewe ummed and ahhed for a few moments before making the call holding his {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} to be in a race against Dalessandri's {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}.

The window of the {2-Diamonds} put a virtual seal on the pot for Dalessandri as the remainder of the flop filled out {2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. The {7-Hearts} on the turn gave both players a sweat only to see the {3-Diamonds} roll off on the river to ensure Dalessandri the double to 1,200,000 as Drewe slipped 2,750,000 in chips.

Antoine Bechara - 6th place

Drewe: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Bechara: {a-Spades}{3-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and after just shy of three hours playing 6-handed an elimination has taken place. Bechara sent home in 6th place, taking home AUD$42,220.

Raise, Fold, Repeat

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Raise, raise, raise. Fold, fold, fold. We wish we could post some interesting occurances, but truth be told there is no one player dominating the taable, just players sharing around blinds and antes!

Level: 26

Blinds: 40,000/80,000

Ante: 10,000

Take 5

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

After almost 17 hours of play a five minute break is well deserved.
