Folded around to Jonathan Bredin in the small blind and he jammed his big stack in the middle. Carpenter went deep into the tank from the big blind, eventually deciding to make the call.
Carpenter:
Bredin:
Carpenter was way ahead and looking good to stay alive, but the flop had other ideas. No help came for Carpenter on the turn or the river and it was all over in 7th place.
Jon Pierre Narbey was in the hijack when he opened it up to 25,000. Folded around to Jonathan Bredin on the button and he would three-bet to 55,000. Raj Ramakrishnan then shipped it all in for 183,000. Narbey got out of the way, while Bredin asked for a count. Eventually Bredin made the call and tabled . Ramakrishnan was out in front with his .
The meant Ramakrishnan had improved his hand to a flush to scoop up the very nice double up!
Chiu Yeung Lee has just shoved all in preflop twice and received no action. He is still the short stack, but has managed to add some much-needed blinds and antes to his stack.
Jon Pierre Narbey and Jonathan Bredin are the two big stacks at the final table and they recently played a hand to the turn of a board. Bredin had opened the hijack preflop and Narbey called out of the big blind. Narbey led for 33,000 on the flop and Bredin called. The turn would see Narbey check and then take his time before folding to a bet of 43,000 from Bredin.
Action folded around to Chiu Lee in the small blind who opened with a min-raise to 20,000. Jonathan Bredin sat in the big blind for a few moments before giving the command to move all in. Lee insta-called and slammed down on the table like it was the nuts. It wasn’t, as Bredin showed for a dominant advantage.
The flop was a bare but Lee got a little excited when the spiked on the turn. Lee took the lead and it stayed that was through the river.
Lee’s stack of 113,000 was doubled as Bredin is still comfortable with around 600,000.
An interesting post just unfolded between Jon-Pierre Narbey and Jonathan Bredin, but it didn’t even get past the flop. Narbey mixed it up with a limp but Bredin popped it up to 27,000 on the button. Action folded back to Narbey who made the call and the two saw a flop of .
Narbey checked to Bredin who bet 35,000. Narbey came back with a small raise to 72,000 but Bredin was done with that easily as he re-raised to a total of 120,000. This sent Narbey deep into the tank before he eventually gave it up.
Folded to Jonathan Bredin in the cut-off and he open it up to 20,000. Ricky Kroesen called out of the small blind and the dealer spread out a flop. Kroesen checked here and Bredin bet 22,000. Back on Kroesen and he would check-raise to 47,000. Bredin inquired as to how much Kroesen had behind, then he made the call.
On the turn, Kroesen moved all in for 138,000. Just a few moments later and Bredin made the call.
"You got me," said Kroesen as he tabled for nothing but an over card and a gut-shut straight draw.
Bredin turned over his and with a on the river, sent Kroesen home in 6th place. Kroesen finished 4th in this same event last year and will need to make it a third time lucky next year if he aims to win the ANZPT Queenstown title.
Bredin now has almost a million in chips and therefore almost half the chips in play.
