Dichiera Straight to the Top

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

John "JD" Dichiera is now with the big stacks in the room after a favourable river card saw him eliminate an opponent.

After leading for 15,000 on the board of {3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Dichiera committed himself to make the call holding {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} when his opponent moved all in. Dichiera held straight and flush draws, and would need to hit against his opponent's {A-Clubs}{j-Spades} top pair, top kicker.

The dealer burned and revealed the {10-Clubs} to bink Dichiera's straight to rake in the monster pot. Dichiera is now up to around 180,000 in chips.

Eastick Sent in the Wrong Direction

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

This season's ANZPT Auckland fourth-place finisher Monica Eastick has recently been sent to the rail. Eastick was all in holding {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} and was up against the {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} of an opponent.

Unfortunately for Eastick, the {3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop would see her fall behind. The news didn't get better from there, with a {2-Spades} turn and a {k-Hearts} river not enough to save Eastick's tournament life.

ANZ Player of the Year Leader Gone

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

The current leader of the ANZ Player of the Year race has just been spotted exiting the tournament area. Michael Guzzardi was nursing a short stack for much of the day and couldn't hang on. With his nearest rivals in Paul Hockin, Jie Gao and Ashley Warner already being eliminated from this tournament, Guzzardi will still most likely go into the next stop on the tour on top of the leader board.

Weisner Will Take It

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

When a player limped from under the gun, Melanie Wesiner moved all in from the player's direct left. The player on Weisner's left then flicked out the call. The rest of the table quickly got out of the way, including the player who opened, and Weinser was at risk.

"What have you got?" asked Weisner.

"Eights," replied the player as he tabled {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

"I'll take it!" said Weisner as she turned over her {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

The {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} board was great for Weisner as she scooped up the handy pot to stay alive and with a healthy stack.

Back For Two More

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

The approximately 56 remaining players have returned from their break. Two more levels before the day is over. We most likely wont make the 24 money-paying positions today, but we will certainly get down to just four or five tables.
