Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Patrik Antonius opened to 40,000 on the button, Damian Baldi three-bet to 120,000 from the big blind, and Antonius moved all in for effectively 439,000.

Antonius:
Baldi:

Antonius was slightly ahead, but the flop gave Baldi a leading pair of jacks. Antonius could still make the best hand with any queen or ace, and the on the turn gave him four more outs to make a straight.

The bricked on the river however, and Baldi shipped a very fortunate double up. He now has 885,000 chips, while Antonius is still holding strong with 2.6 million.

Laying Down the Laidlaw

Chad Holloway

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

As previously mentioned, Damian Baldi has by far the most boisterous rail, and apparently they get excited even when their man is behind.

That was the case when Daniel Laidlaw got all in preflop for 246,000 holding and was up against the of Baldi. The latter's rail got loud, especially after the flop delivered their man a ten. Shouts for another ten permeated the room, but they fell on deaf ears as the appeared on the turn followed by the on the river.

Chan Continues to Climb

Chad Holloway

Damian Baldi Eliminated in 11th Place (AU$95,000)

Chad Holloway

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

We didn't catch the action until the flop when Damian Baldi got his remaining stack of approximately 400,000 all in on a flop of and was at risk against Dan Shak.

Baldi:
Shak:

Baldi got it in good with an overpair and the rail, which was pro-Baldi, went nuts. With that said, Shak had an up-and-down straight draw, which meant he could still win with either a seven, three or eight. The rail began to cheer when the dealer burned and turned the , but they soon realized Shak had hit the straight to leave Baldi drawing dead.

The rail's enthusiasm quickly disappeared when they realized the man from Melbourne had been eliminated in 11th place. The was run out on the river for good measure, and Sam Cohen was brought over to fill Baldi's seat.
