We noticed Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang was down to around 4,000 in chips and asked him what happened to his stack. Apparently Huang had recently opened to 900 in a hand and received two callers before another player raised it up to 6,100. Back on Huang and he moved all in for 28,000 in chips, with the aggressor having 21,000 behind. The player called and it was Huang’s versus the player’s . A king hit the flop and Huang was left short.
Since then we watched Huang first shove all in from under the gun and pick up the blinds and antes, before moving all in from the big blind and finding himself at-risk holding against the small blind’s . The board ran out and with that Huang was back up to around 12,000.

Full Tilt Poker ANZPT Ambassador Tom Grigg is currently on the rail!
We didn't catch his elimination, but Grigg told us that he "hero called" with an under pair against an opponent and wasn't right, leaving himself quite short. Then Grigg got his chips in with and lost to the of an opponent.
Grigg has apparently already booked a flight for 9.30 p.m. local time this evening, so it was certainly a short trip to New Zealand.

Kani Edwards has been the chip leader for much of the early stages of Day 1c of the ANZPT Auckland Main Event, but recently lost a sizable pot and is no longer at the top of the leader board.
We arrived to find Edwards facing a bet of 8,500 from his lone opponent on the river of a board. Edwards eventually called and then mucked as he was a little shocked to see his opponent table for a runner-runner straight.
With that Edwards is down to around 32,000.

We aren't sure exactly what happened, but Daniel Foote was recently busy scooping up a very nice pot preflop. We arrived to find 30,000 already in the middle and with Foote all in for around 15,000 and the action back on his lone opponent who was in the tank. Eventually the player opted to fold and Foote showed his as he stacked up his new chips.
