Westmorland's Chips go to Yan

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Jordan Westmorland has just been eliminated by [Removed:17]. It started with Westmorland opening to 1,200 from early position. The player on the button made the call and so too did Yan from the big blind.

The {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop saw Yan lead for 1,425 and Westmorland call. The dealer button quickly folded their cards and a {j-Diamonds} hit the turn. This time Yan led for 4,500 and Westmorland went into the tank. He had a little over 15,000 behind and eventually moved all in. Yan made a quick call, having Westmorland easily covered. Westmorland tabled his {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a pair and a flush draw, while Yan turned over {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} for top-two pair.

The {7-Hearts} river wasn't what Westmorland needed and just like that all his chips were in Yan's stack and Westmorland was heading out into the cold New Zealand air.

No More Ladies

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

There are no longer any female poker players in this ANZPT Queenstown field. We didn't catch her elimination, but we do know that Sale's {q-}{q-} was unluckily cracked by {j-}{j-}.

Grigg's Got Nothing, Benny has Enough

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Tom Grigg opened the action with a raise from under the gun to 1,200. Ben Richardson was the lone caller in middle position to take a flop of {3-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Both players checked and the turn brought the {9-Diamonds}. Grigg checked again and Richardson plonked out a bet of 1,400. Grigg stared at the board before coming back with a check-raise to 4,100. Richardson wasn’t fazed as he made the call with a repeat {9-Spades} completing the board.

Grigg thought for a moment before checking and Richardson tapped the table behind.

“I got nothing,” sighed Grigg as Richardson opened {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} to take it down.

Despite losing this hand, Grigg is still up over what he started the day with. Richardson is also now doing quite well.

Multi-Way Action

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

When Michael Fadersen opened to 1,600 from early position, he would receive calls from Chris Holmes on his direct left, Wenjian Qiu in the next seat across and Tobin Ryall from the big blind. The {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop prompted Fadersen to check and Holmes to bet 1,900. Qiu made a quick call, while Ryall and Fadersen got out of the way.

On the {k-Hearts} turn, Holmes checked and Qiu bet 3,500. Holmes made a call and a {k-Spades} completed the board on the river. This time both players checked. Qiu tabled his {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}, which would go straight into the muck when Holmes turned over {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.

Casino Floor Broken

The two tables from the main casino floor have been broken and the players are now in the poker room. Check out the approximate chip counts of those players as they make their way to their new tables.

Grigg Folds to Chon

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Cards fly into the muck from all directions of the table before Michael Chon opened to 1,60 from the hijack. Tom Grigg, on Chon's direct left, three-bet to 3,600 and it was folded back around to Chon, who made the call.

The {q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop would see Chon check and Grigg bet 3,000. Chon made the call and a {8-Hearts} hit the turn. Chon again checked and Grigg opted to also check. The river was a {j-Diamonds} and this time Chon led for 9,000. Grigg studied his opponent for a little while before flicking his cards into the muck.
