Jason James Jousted Jarred

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

The flop was showing {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs} when all the chips went in between Jarred Graham and Jason James. James had Graham covered by just a few thousand, but when he turned over his cards over Graham would just have to dodge a club.

Graham: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
James: {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Turn: {3-Spades}

"That was a good turn!", exclaimed James.

River: {6-Hearts}

The river looked just a little better then the turn, giving James a runner-runner straight to send Graham to the rail.

James is now our chip leader with just over 50,000.

A Good Ten Minutes For JP

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Neil Channing was nowhere to be seen, his seat seemingly empty for quite sometime now. When our PokerNews Reporter went scouting for answers, JP Kelly was more than happy to let us know that his fellow counrtymen had been gone for a good ten minutes and that he had managed to last longer.

Kelly was also quite happy to let us know that he had to make a "tough call" from the big blind a few hands ago holding {a-}{a-}.

Channing out. Kelly up over 9,700.

Hachem Coolers Warne

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Shane Warne has now busted. A standard short-stack push with {a-}{10-} ran into the {a-}{q-} of his opponent and Warne couldnt catch.

Warne's friend Tony Hachem was in attendance to catch the action and as Warne busted he turned to Hachem. According to our PokerNews reporter went along the lines of.

"You coolered me Tony, you come here and i bust", Warne said in jest to Hachem.

"Yeah, yeah. Look at you using me for an excuse, thats exactly the same as Joe," replied Hachem refering to his brother, 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Joe Hachem.

Move Your Hands Please

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Ben Delaney was on the button when he made a raise to 1,100. 2010 Victorian Poker Championship Main Event winner Michael Egan wasnt going to have any of that though, popping it to 2,700 from the small blind.

Delaney then gestured for Egan to move his hands so he could see how much he had behind. Not noticing, Egan sat still.

Delaney again gestured for Egan to move his hand. Again he didnt notice, until the last second at which point Egan moved his hand to reveal around 15,000.

Apparently scared by the fifteen thousand, Delaney insta-mucked the minute he saw Egan's stack.

Aouker Cant Catch

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Pierre Aoukar is no longer in the tournament, having to try and repeat the success of a 2010 Aussie Millions final table in another tournament.

Aouker moved all-in from middle position and got a call from Tony Dujnst in the hi-jack. Play then came around to Shane Warne in the big blind.

Warne thought for a while before tapping his hand on the table and saying "Oh well, i guess im allin." His bet made it 1,225 more to Dunst, which Dunst called.

Dunst: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Warne: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Aouker: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

Two tournament lives were on the line with a board to be ran out. The rather boring {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} might have been good for one of the muckers, but it didnt excite here, Warne's hand standing up on it's own.

Warne gets his stack to 8,500. Aouker sent home and Dunst moves down to 4,100.
