Rossiter Bluffs Lederer?

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We caught up with the action on the flop of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades} between Jeff Rossiter and Howard Lederer. When we got to the table, Lederer had 55,000 in front of him as a bet and Rossiter had moved in for 243,000. After a couple minutes in the tank, Lederer folded and was left with 150,000. Rossiter moved to 375,000 and it wasn't without showing the {7-Diamonds} to Lederer after he mucked.

Menz Wins Battle of the Blinds

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

On the {J-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{A-Spades} flop we found Hiren Patel leading for 18,000 with his fellow blind compatriot David Menz calling from the big.

Patel continued for 46,000 when the {7-Hearts} landed on the turn as Menz again smooth-called before both players checked the {3-Spades} on the river.

Patel tabled his {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for the third-nut no-hand as Menz's {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} would see him collect the pot and move to 300,000.

The {3-Clubs} paired the board on the turn and Dorfman bet 125,000. Mizzi made the call. The river completed the board with the {6-Hearts} and both players checked.

Dorfman's {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} was the winner as Mizzi mucked when he saw the flush. Dorfman moved to 1.31 million and Mizzi dropped to 565,000.

Roman Zoch Eliminated in 35th Place (AUD$30,000)

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Roman Zoch entered the pot with a raise to 20,000 which Randy Dorfman called as the flop landed {10-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

Zoch checked and Dorfman moved all in as Zoch instantly called for his last 103,000.

Dorfman: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Zoch: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

With Zoch in great shape to double, the cruel {Q-Spades} on the turn would swing the momentum round to be in Dorfman's favor as the {2-Spades} completed the river.

While Dorfman maintains his million-chip plus chip lead, Zoch was forced to hit the cashiers cage to collect his AUD$30,000 payday for his great thirty-fifth place effort.

Cusenza Ships Turn on Moorman

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Cliff Lee opened to 16,000 from under the gun and Adam Cusenza made the call from the cutoff before Chris Moorman three-bet the big blind to 48,000.

Lee passed, but Cusenza made the call as the {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop was spread. Moorman took his allotted time before leading for 57,000 as Cusenza made the call.

The turn repeated the six and Moorman took slightly longer - roughly two minutes - before making it 111,000.

It was now Cusenza's turn to go into the tank, and after shuffling chips and adjusting his stack for nearly four minutes, he moved all in for 275,000 total.

Moorman quickly mucked to slip to 525,000 as Cusenza raked in the pot to move to 630,000 in chips.
