Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
The PokerNews Live Reporting team is sprawled all across the globe this week, with members here in Sydney, over at LAPT Chile and soon to touch down in Italy for EPT Campione. While we grind it out here at The Star Casino for ANZPT, Kristy Arnett has been frolicking on the beach of Vina del Mar. Check out her creative application of poker lingo to real-life settings.
Vesko And Angel
The action folded around to Vesko Zmukic in the cutoff and he through in the limp call. The rest of the table got out of the way before Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen tapped the table in the big blind.
Both Guillen and Zmukic would check on the 
flop as the 
would hit the turn. This time Guillen would bet, firing out 400. Zmukic quickly made it 900 to go and Guillen quickly made the call.
The 
on the river would see Guillen check and Zmukic would keep up his aggression with a 1,400-chip bet. It was too much for Guillen who let his hand go and sent the pot to Zmukic.

Unlucky Bust For Barrett
Earlier in the day we reported a hand where Josh Barrett got very lucky to hit a runner-runner flush. Well, it wasn't the same story later in the day as Barrett has just passed the media desk and told us of his demise.
Barrett got his stack all in preflop holding 
and had to come up against the 
of an opponent. It was safe up until the river. We are sure you are can guess what happened next. A fell on the river.
You can watch Lynn Gilmartin's interview here with Barrett after the better end of his lucky earlier today.

Wrong Hand
When we came to David Gorr's table, he was inolved in a hand with Dennis Huntly. It was just those two players to the flop in the limped pot.
Flop: 
Gorr only had a few thousand in chips behind and shoved his stack on the flop. Huntly instantly made the call turning over 
. Gorr then revealed his 
for a whole heap of nothing.
"I thought i had ten-nine, but that was the hand before!" said Gorr as he got up out of his set and gathered his thing to leave the tournament area. The turn and river changed nothing and it was out the door for Gorr.

Tran Doubles
Michael tran is now sitting behind a very healthy stack of 60,000. Most of those chips came to him when he got his stack all in preflop holding 
. His opponent held 
and when the board ran out 
, Tran would take the double-up and make his way up the chip leader board.
