Erik Seidel's Good Luck Charm

Erik Seidel is sitting on a stack worth 51,000. He's above average and looking good, but the one thing that is drawing the most attention is his good luck charm... a plush toy penguin that he must have picked up at the famous penguin parade down at Philip Island.

Who's Out?

Just in case you were just joining us, some of the players eliminated before the dinner break included.... Ola Brandborn, Sarne Lightman, Sarah Bilney, Beth Shak, Brandon Schaefer, Brandon Cantu, Gavin Smith, Lee Watkinson, Michael 'Timex' McDonald, Jimmy "gobboboy" Fricke, Mike Sexton, Jamie Pickering, Liz Lieu, Paul Sexton, Harry Demetriou, Brandon Adams, Daniel Zink, Steve Zolotow, and David Saab.

"Ship it!"

An elderly Aussie was all in against a younger player. The flop was {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. The younger fellow had {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} while the elderly gentleman held {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a set. He was so excited that he screamed "Ship it!"

His celebration was a little too early. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and the river was the {7-Diamonds}. The board was a straight and both players chopped the pot.

David Levi Eliminated

David Levi raised 1,700 and Tom "Durrr" Dwan called from the big blind. The flop was {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Durrr checked. Levi bet 2,600. Dwan check raised to 6,000. Levi re-raised to 15,000. Durrr moved all in to 25,000. Levi called all in for 22,500.

Durrr: {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Levi: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The turn was the {8-Spades} and the river was the {J-Clubs}. Durr won the pot after flopping trips and levii headed to the rail.
