Dhingra Takes Out Another
Level 11
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Gautam Dhingra has started the new level the same way he finished the last – by accumulating more chips.
The hand started with Michael Kanaan opening to 4,800 from the hijack, before Dhingra raised to 12,200 from the small blind. The big blind looked down at his cards, and instantly moved all in for his last 29,800. Kanaan mucked, as Dhingra made the call.
Dhingra: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
to see Dhingra’s nine-kicker play, eliminating his opponent from the tournament, and moving him up to 275,000 in chips.

“Any jack or spade,” asked Brabin, as the

“Now a jack or ten,” pleaded Brabin, as the 
completed the board. “Sorry mate,” said Brabin, as he took out the short-stack, moving him up to 50,000 in chips.

McLean Wins a Big One
Level 11
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
A player was moved over from an outer table, to the table neighboring the media desk, and informed us of a big hand.
He let us know that Luke McLean and another player on the table moved all-in pre-flop after a raising war, with both players having approximately 100,000 chips each.
It was good news for McLean, who held pocket aces, and was up against pocket queens. The board bricked out, and McLean was left stacking up his chips to over 200,000, as his opponent was eliminated from the tournament.

Wing Can’t Call
Level 11
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
The hand started with the player under the gun, opening to 6,200 and finding a quick call from Eric Assadourian in middle position. It was then on Tom Wing in the small blind, who raised it up to 18,000 in chips. The original didn’t hesitate, opting to move all-in for around 80,000 in chips. Assadourian mucked instantly, and Wing folded shortly after.
Wing still sits on 105,000 in chips, as he attempts to add to his stack before the end of play.

Joyce Wins Hand, McLean Falling
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Luke McLean’s stack is constantly changing. Before the break he had a big double-up, and now has relinquished a majority of those chips over to Aron Joyce.
We missed the action, but we arrived at the table with the board reading 
and Joyce having the last of his 59,800 chips in the middle. His had won the hand, and McLean was busy, counting out the chips he needed to pay him off.
After everything was sorted, Joyce quickly raced up to 160,000 in chips, as McLean dropped down to 80,000.

Hachem is King
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
We’ve just seen the biggest pot of the tournament unfold and it’s no surprise to see it’s gone the way of a Hachem. It’s not Joe and it’s not Tony, but it’s Joe’s son Anthony who has stormed to the top of the counts in a brutal hand against Gautam Dhingra.
The action started with a raise from Dhingra. Hachem three-bet to 15,000 before Dhingra four-bet to 37,000. Hachem then declared himself all in and Dhingra snap-called!
Hachem:
Dhingra:
Wow! There were 350,000 chips in the middle in the ultimate cooler, but the drama only intensified when the flop landed 
to see Hachem spike a set to the disgust of Dhingra who stood and walked away from the table. The 
turn and 
river saw Hachem double up into the chip lead with Dhingra still in good shape with 95,000, but only a fraction of what might have been.
