Nothing So Far

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

All three players really want this ANZPT title, and the play has been very slow and mechanical. We haven't seen big pots as of late, but with the blinds going up in 12 minutes that could change at any time.

Warner Rivers Hockin

On a {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop Ashley Warner check-called 100,000. The turn brought the {K-Clubs}, and this time Hockin fired out 300,000. Warner called again.

On the river the {10-Spades} showed up, and Hocking ended up checking behind. He showed {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, but lost to Warner's {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Warner Jumps Ahead

Paul Hockin raised the button to 130,000 and Ashley Warner three-bet to 280,000. Hockin went for a four-bet and put in 605,000. Warner wanted to play for it all and moved all in, but he didn't get a call.

This big pre-flop pot was shipped to Warner who's back in the lead for the first time since three-handed play began.
