Gupta Ousts Benson

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Gary Benson was sent home just before the break, moving his remaining 2,200 in from the hijack and getting a call from Ash Gupta in the big blind.

Benson: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Gupta: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The board would turn over {3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} with no help for Benson as he was sent to the rail.

Gupta now sits with a healthy 20,000 chip stack in front of him.

Lee Loses

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Cliff Lee was riding his short stack from early in the day and when he finally found himself with {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} he would move allin and manage one call from the button.

It wasn't looking good for Lee as his opponent turned over {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Lee would be sent home.

Krost Krushing

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Tyron Krost raised to 525 from early position and Grant Levy and the two blinds would come along for the ride.

Flop: {3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Checked to Krost he would fire out 1,200. All players except the small blind would get out of the way and we would see the {q-Hearts} roll off on the turn.

The action was again checked to Krost and this time he made it 3,500. The player folded not wanting to rumble with the reigning Aussie Millions Main Event Champion.

Krost moves up to 25,000 with the $1,000 bounty on his head safe for now.

Vesko's Seat Left Vacant

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Another Bounty has been sent packing and another lucky player will be going home with AUD$1,000.

Vesko Zmukic has only had a few thousand behind him for much of the last few levels, at one point having his stack at risk but managing to stay alive to see a few more hands.

Zmukic would be allin preflop against two players as he watched the board turn over {j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The other players in the pot elected to check the play down with both of them in contention of taking home the bounty.

Zmukic would table {a-Spades}{k-Spades}, while one player would be too strong with his pair, holding {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and sending the remaining players cards to the muck.

The rest of the table must not fret that their bounty chance is gone as Tony Hachem has recently been moved to the table with his bounty still in place.

Home For Hachem

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Table 31 has pocketed another AUD$1,000 bounty, this time Tony Hachem the victim of elimination.

Hachem was allin holding {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and needing to dodge some cards against an opponents {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

When the board ran out {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} it was all over for Hachem as he tabled his bounty card and moved to the rail.
