Four Quick Exits
We blinked and missed it, but the last ten minutes has seen four eliminations from the 2012 ANZPT Queenstown Snowfest Main Event. Seang-hai Ching was the short stack at his table and was unable to run it up, while ANZPT regular, Gary Retallick, was in the same boat and couldn't cling to his tournament life. The other players sent packing were Yvo Molin and Justin Huege de Serville.

Wonson Crippled by Westmorland
David Wonson has just been crippled at the hands of Jordan Westmorland. We arrived at the table with a 
flop out on the felt and with Wonson shoving all in for around 100,000. Westmorland made the at-risk call and the action was now on Matt Wakeman on the button. He said, "i really should think about this," before eventually folding.
Wonson:   |
Westmorland:   |
Westmorland was in front and it stayed that way as the dealer flipped over a 
on the turn and a 
on the river.

Ferg No More
Fergus Spary, who is known around town for owning own of the most popular restaurants in town, was the last Queenstown local in the tournament. We say "was" because he has now been eliminated.
Spary was under the gun when he shoved his short stack all in for around 30,000. David Evans was in the cutoff when he shoved his large stack in. The rest of the table was out of the way and the two players turned their hands over.
Spary:   |
| Evans: |
The 
board was no good for Spary as his cards went into the muck and he made his way from the tournament area.
