Ryan Bets and Bets Bigger

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #77: Action folded to Jeff Rossiter and he raised to 95,000. David Gorr reraised to 240,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Rossiter quickly spun his hand into the much right after, giving this one to Gorr.

Hand #78: Unknown action.

Hand #79: Michael Ryan raised to 90,000 from the button and James Keys called to see the flop come down {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Keys checked and Ryan bet 175,000. Keys called.

The turn card was the baby {2-Clubs} and Keys checked again. Ryan bet 275,000 this time, raising his bet. Keys sat back for a second and adjusted his jacket before asking if Ryan had about a million behind. He then folded and Ryan won the pot.

Mis-Read for Dorfman

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #80: James Keys opened to 85,000 from the button and collected the blinds antes.

Hand #81: Randy Dorfman limped the small blind and David Gorr checked his option to see a {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop fall and Dorfman lead for 75,000. Gorr quickly bumped it up to 200,000.

"C'mon Dave. You don't have an ace or a ..." Dorfman trickled off saying before he made the call and checked the {K-Spades} on the turn, along with Gorr, as the {4-Clubs} landed on the river.

Dorfman led for 250,000 and Gorr instantly made the call. Dorfman tabled his black {3-}{2-}, and stated, "Man I mis-read my hand again!"

Gorr tabled his {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and collected the pot.

Hand #82: Jeff Rossiter raised to 95,000 and won the pot.

Hand #83: Jeff Rossiter raised to 95,000 and Michael Ryan called from the big blind. The flop came down {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Ryan led for 150,000. Last time Ryan took this line, Rossiter folded to him on the flop. This time, Rossiter folded as well, but did take a bit longer to do so.

Hand #84: From under the gun, Jeff Rossiter raised to 95,000. Everyone folded and he won the pot. Rossiter has been by far the most active player preflop in respect to opening pots.

Hand #85: David Gorr raised to 100,000 to start things off and Michael Ryan reraised to 250,000. Gorr four-bet after a minute to 850,000, 600,000 more.

"You don't have aces again, do you?" asked Ryan as he shifted in his chair.

Ryan had about 1.7 million behind while he tanked and thought about his decision. Eventually, he folded his hand and Gorr scooped the pot.

Hand #86: From the button, James Keys made it 85,000 to go only to have Randy Dorfman three-bet to 250,000 from the first time in the last half-dozen or so orbits.

Keys didn't care for this fact, and slid in a four-bet of 535,000 total to put the pressure back on Dorfman and his dwindling stack.

Dorfman eventually mucked to see the pot pushed to Keys as he moves to 1,810,000.

Hand #87: Jeff Rossiter made it 90,000 from the button and picked up the blinds and antes.

Hand #88: From the cutoff, Jeff Rossiter made it 90,000 to go, and just like the previous hand was met with a series of folds.

Hand #89: James Keys entered the pot for 90,000 and Rossiter made the call next to act as the remainder of the table folded round to see a {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop fall.

Keys checked and Rossiter fired out 125,000 to produce a quick fold from the Englishman.

Sam Razavi - 6th Place
Sam Razavi - 6th Place

Hand #90: Action folded to Michael Ryan in the small blind and he raised to 95,000 to win the pot.

Hand #91: Action folded to Sam Razavi in the cutoff seat and he moved all in. Everyone folded and he won the pot. Razavi had mentioned that it was about 800,000 that he was all in for.

After the hand was over, there was some arguing back and forth in a debate about how much Razavi really shoved for. He had about 750,000 after the hand and has been off a few times when telling people how much he had.

Hand #92: Action folded to Sam Razavi and he moved all in for the second hand in a row. James Keys reshoved from the button and everyone folded.

Keys: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Razavi: {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The flop, turn and river ran out {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades} and that was he end of the line for Razavi. He was eliminated in sixth place for AUD$225,000. Keys moved to about 2.6 million in chips.

Dorfman's Complaints

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Randy Dorfman has expressed his concerns with the production team taking time to move the players around and reseat them so that everything is aligned nicely with the holecard cameras and what not. Although this only took a minute or two of time, the action was paused and the clock was still running. Dorfman was most upset that the clock was not stopped when it should be for the players still in the event.

All Quiet on the Aussie Front

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #93: James Keys opened to 90,000 from the cutoff only to have Randy Dorfman three-bet jam for 1,370,000 from the small blind.

David Gorr stalled in the big blind for a few moments before folding to put the action back on Keys eventually folded.

Hand #94: From the button, Randy Dorfman made it 100,000 to go and easily picked up the blinds and antes.

"Wait till I get hot!" stated Dorfman as he added 85,000 to his stack.

Hand #95: Randy Dorfman opened to 100,000 from the cutoff and Michael Ryan made the call from the small blind to see a {6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop fall.

Ryan checked and Dorfman continued for 130,000 before Ryan pushed out a 305,000-chip check-raise to produce an insta-fold from Dorfman.

Hand #96: David Gorr continued the 100,000-chip open from the cutoff and was greeted by a series of folds. Gorr flashed his {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} and grabbed the blinds and antes.

Gorr's River Bet Wins

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #97: David Gorr raised to 100,000 and James Keys called from the button. The flop came down {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Gorr checked to Keys in position. Keys bet 150,000 and Gorr quickly made the call. One thing is for certain, Gorr doesn't take much time at all with all of his decisions.

The turn brought the {J-Spades} and Gorr checked. Keys checked behind.

The river completed the board with the {3-Diamonds} and Gorr bet 350,000. Keys folded and Gorr won the pot.

Dorfman Mixing It Up

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Randy Dorfman has switched it up a bit. He's taking his glasses off and turned his hat sideways to the right. Maybe he's looking for some sort of rally cap variation.

Whatever it is, it's awesome.

Randy Dorfman Eliminated in 5th Place (AUD$325,000)

Randy Dorfman - 5th Place

Hand #98: From the small blind, Randy Dorfman moved all in.

"Ok, how much is that?" asked David Gorr.

"It's about one [million]" responded Dorfman.

The dealer stepped in and stated that Dorfman's stacks weren't in the usual twenty-chip stacks, and once it was broken down, it amounted to roughly 1,300,000.

"I apologize. I'm so sorry." added Dorfman.

Gorr deliberated for an additional thirty seconds before announcing a call.

Dorfman: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Gorr: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

With Dorfman in the lead, the {8-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop kept it that way and left him needing to fade an ace or backdoor clubs or nines.

The {4-Spades} on the turn was another blank for Dorfman, but when someone is running hot, they're running hot as the {A-Diamonds} dinked on the river.

"Good luck, take it down!" stated Dorfman to Gorr as they shook hands.

Gorr now has half of the chips in play; roughly 7,200,000!
