Slow Five-Handed Play
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Five-handed action has been quite slow.
There has been a couple of walks and one of the few flops we saw was in a hand between Nathan Gubieski and Nicolas Oger. Gubieski had opened the button to 32,000 and Oger called from the big blind. On the 
flop, Oger check-folded to a bet of 24,000.
Good Call from Oger
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Nicolas Oger has just taken down a handy pot against Amant Nauhria.
Picking up the action on the river of a 
board, Nauhria had led out for 45,000 into a pot of around 100,000. Oger tanked for quite some time before making the call. Nauhria mucked as Oger showed 
.
Gahan Moving Up
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Paul Gahan has just managed to double up versus Amant Nauhria.
It was on a 
flop that all the chips went in.
Nauhria check-raised to 95,000 after Gahan bet 40,000. Back Gahan and he moved all in for 238,000. Nauhria made the call and Gahan was at risk.
Gahan: 
Nauhria: 
Both players had a straight draw, but Gahan was well ahead as Nauhria called for a four.
The 
turn was safe for Gahan, while the 
river meant he had doubled to around 550,000.
Nauhria is still going strong with a seven-figure stack, but for the first time at the final table he is no longer the chip leader.

Lim Leading
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
With newly-won chips in hand, Paul Gahan opened the button to 32,000 before David Lim three-bet another 55,000 on top from the big blind. Gahan thought for a bit before making the call in position to see a flop of 
.
Lim led out with a bet of 80,000 and Gahan again deliberated over the decision before making a frustrated fold. Lim gave a wry smile as he raked in the pot to further his chip lead. He’s up to 1.35 million in chips.

Lim Crushing Way into Big Lead
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
David Lim has just taken a big pot off Amant Nauhria.
It started with Lim opening the hijack to 35,000. Nauhria three-bet to 55,000 from the cutoff and Nauhria made the call. On the 
flop, Lim check-called a bet of 70,000 and an hit the turn. Lim check-called 105,000 here and an 
completed the board on the river.
This time both players checked.
“King-high,” said Nauhria as he tabled 
.
Lim snapped his on the felt and took it down as Nauhria looked a little disappointed.
Lim now has a big chip lead over his opponents and even around double that of Nauhria.

Nicolas Oger Eliminated in 5th Place (NZ$26,625)
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Five has become four but it took a massive cooler and a one-outer to do it!
It was a battle of the blinds with Nicolas Oger clashing with David Lim with all the chips in preflop. Oger held but he’d run into Lim’s .
The dealer spread the flop, and there it was, the ace from space on the 
flop. Oger had taken the lead and Lim was looking for some sort of miracle. The 
turn card was a blank and Lim now had only one card in the deck or Oger would double through.
With the crowd leaning over the rail in anticipation, the dealer burned a card and then revealed the !
The case king for the one-outer! The crowd roared in excitement as Oger had gone from jubilation to heartbreak in an instant. He’s out in 5th place for NZ$26,265 in prize money as Lim now has a stranglehold on this tournament with almost half the chips in play.
