The players are now on a dinner break.
A preflop raising war resulted in an unknown player getting his stack of 12,000 in the middle and in dire straits against Alex Trevallion, who if you recall won the AU$25,000 Challenge last week and is at the currently-on-hiatus AU$100,000 Challenge final table.
Trevallion: 
Opponent: 
Trevallion had the goods, but the dealer made him work for it with the 
flop, which gave the at-risk player an open-ended straight draw. Fortunately for Trevallion, the board ran out the 
and 
to give him the knockout.

He raised to 800 from under the gun and was called by a player in the next seat before the big bind squeezed up 3,100. Ichinose wad the only caller and every street of a 
board was checked to him by his opponent. On the river, Ichinose bet 4,800 and his opponent called with

Brian Rast has been quietly building his stack here on Day 1c. Most recently he sent a shorty home by winning a race. Rast held the 
and was up against an opponent, who was in for roughly 7,000, holding the . The 
flop contained a jack, but it was alright for Rast as it also had a third five. Neither the 
turn nor river changed a thing, and Rast climbed over 50K.
Meanwhile, we saw World Series of Poker bracelet winner and online pro Doug "WCGRider" Polk wandering the tournament floor.
"How goes it?" we inquired.
"Lost. I removed my my chips," Polk offered. "I removed all of them."

On the final board of 
and about 9,000 in the middle, Kitson Kho checked to Schiffbauer. Schiffbauer bet 5,100, and Kho went into the tank. After some deep thought, Kho made the call, and Schiffbauer turned over the

With approximately 8,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel bet 5,800 from the big blind into his opponent in the hijack. A call was made, and then the dealer burned one last time before putting out the river, which double-paired the board.
Seidel opted to check, and his opponent did the same. Seidel showed the for two pair with an ace kicker, but it was no good as the hijack held a bigger two pair with the .
