Three players, including Melanie Weisner, took a flop of where Wiesner came out leading with a bet of 6,300. One player folded but the second opponent called as the appeared on the turn.
Both checked before the repeated on the river. Weisner checked and then insta-called when her opponent tossed out a bet of 8,600. Her opponent seemed surprised but was happy enough with his as Weisner mucked. She's now down to just 15,000 in chips.
"Just for you Jessie," said Broom as he turned over a bluff on a hand that played out like so.
Broom opened it up to 2,800 from early position and received calls from a middle-position player and McKenzie in the big blind. On the flop, McKenzie checked and Broom bet 3,600. The middle position player stared down his opponents, then opted to fold. Back on McKenzie and he made the call.
The on the turn would see McKenzie check and then Broom took his time before betting 8,300. McKenzie wanted no part of the action, letting his cards go and sending the pot to Broom.
As Broom raked in his new chips, he turned over for a whole lot of nothing.
We didn't see the action, but arrived to witness the aftermath as Iori Yogo was raking in a monstrous pot. The board read with Yogo's making a flush to crack his opponent's .
Yogo is now with the chip leaders on a stack of around 170,000.
When we arrived at Brad Bower's table he was involved in a hand against one opponent on a flop. Bower had the button and bet 5,400 when his opponent checked from the small blind position. The player called and the dealer turned over a on the turn.
This time Bower's opponent checked and then moved all in for around 50,000 when Bower fired out another 10,300. Bower shrugged as he made the call and the two players turned their hands over.
Bower:
Opponent:
The was of no help to Bower's opponent as he made his way out of the tournament area. Bower is now sitting behind a very handy chip stack.
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.
John Lane and Iori Yogo are currently the two largest chip stacks in the room. Both of these players are nearing 200,000 in chips. The current average stack is 76,930.
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 .
"I'll take it!" said Weisner as she turned over her .
The board was great for Weisner as she scooped up the handy pot to stay alive and with a healthy stack.
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.
