Interesting Table

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

At the start of Level 13, the sixth and final level of the evening, chip leader Gareth Dwyer's table broke. His new table is quite interesting, and features local legends Jason Pritchard and Tom Grigg along with poker superstars Liv Boeree and John Juanda.

With a lot of chips and a lot of big names, Table 24 will be an interesting one to watch during the final hour of play tonight.

It was Duhamel's {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} that did it, besting the all-in player's {Q-Spades}{2-Clubs} after the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

Esfandiari Over 300K

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

On the last hand before the break, Antonio Esfandiari checked the {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, and the next player fired a bet of 5,000. A third player in the hand called, and then action fell back on Esfandiari. He check-raised to 18,200. The original bettor called, and then the third player folded.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, and Esfandiari bet 23,900. His opponent called, and the river completed the board with the {Q-Hearts}. Both players checked.

Esfandiari tabled the {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and his opponent mucked.

Dwyer Approaching Half a Million

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Heinz Kamutzki opened for 4,300, Gareth Dwyer three-bet to 10,200 in position, and the action folded back to Kamutzki, who called.

"It was too easy last time," Kamutzki said. "So you thought you'd try again."

The dealer fanned {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and Heinz checked.

"Last time I bet 16K," Dwyer announced, before firing 16,000.

Heinz folded, and Dwyer now has just under half a million chips.

Clark Loses Two

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Daniel Neilson and Zachary Clark were heads up on a board of {j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and Neilson checked. Clark fired out 7,600, Neilson check-raised to 28,000, and Clark called.

A repeat four - the {4-Spades} - completed the board, and Neilson fired out 44,000. Clark mucked.

The very next hand, Clark raised to 4,500 in late position. An opponent three-bet all in for 18,400, and the action folded back to Clark, who called.

Clark: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Clark's hand was dominated, and he couldn't catch up as the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades}.
