Wing already conceded when the flop came down, as the turn and river were no help for him.
“I know you’re going to berate me for a long time after that,” said Fadersen.
In the last 10 minutes before the break, we saw two eliminations meaning that when the players return, they’ll be a single elimination away from the money.
The first player to go was Tom Wing. After losing his chips in the previous hand to Michael Fadersen, he moved all in holding and none other than Fadersen woke up with as the board bricked to see him hit the rail.
Following that, Laurence Hall committed the last of his chips on the turn holding on a board showing . He was very unlucky though, as Andrew Mercaldi called holding , as he found himself drawing dead, and eliminated so close to the money.
The action has slowed right down, as the players are playing very cautiously on the money-bubble. A majority of hands are being taken down by a simple raise pre-flop, with only one hand reaching the river so far.
After waiting almost 40-minutes, the money-bubble has finally burst, with Tino Lechich the unfortunate recipient of the title.

With the board reading , Tom Karadimos bet out 52,000 from late position, As Aron Joyce went into the tank. A minute passed, before he made the call to see the complete the board. Karadimos was happy to check his option, as again Joyce thought about his next move. A few minutes passed, and he slid out 60,000 in chips, which was instantly called by Karadimos.
“I have an open-ended straight-flush draw,” joked Joyce, almost embarrassed to show his
