The hand started with Dave Allen opening to 20,000 from the cut-off as Kwang Nguyen made the call from the button, as well as Dean Francis in the small blind and the player in the big blind. The flop came and Francis instantly grabbed for chips. He counted out a bet of 52,000, and slid it into the middle. A snap-fold from the big blind and Allen, left Nguyen with a decision.
He tanked for a minute before making the call as the came on the turn. Francis didn't waste any time, moving all-in for his last 182,000 in chips. Nguyen stared him down, but eventually mucked his hand.

A shell-shocked Josh Barrett has just been eliminated when his pocket tens ran into pocket jacks with all the chips in preflop. The board ran out to end Barrett’s run in 42nd place for $3,800 in prize money.
Player's to fall just before Barrett include Chris Ozer (45th), Alexander Margina (44th) and Michael Fadersen (43rd) who'll also pocket $3,800 today.
Gautum Dhingra's elimination rounds out the next group of eliminated players from the tournament.
Dhingra committed the last of his chips in holding and was called by an opponent holding . The board ran out to see the king flop, sending him to the rail, one short of another pay jump.
54th - Sam Georges
53rd - Luis Pampliega
52nd - Sam O'Neill
51st - Peter Skouteris
50th - Mark Inch

47th - Linas Leonovas
46th - Gautam Dhingra
Each of those nine players have all received $3,375 for their run in this tournament.
We've recently spotted Iori Yogo double-up to keep his hopes alive in this tournament. He moved all in for his last 120,000 pre-flop holding and was called by his opponent holding . The board ran out to see him spike the ace on the river and move back up to 260,000 in chips.
Close by, current ANZ player of the year points leader Dejan Divkovic, looks on as his nearest rival stays in the tournament. He's probably there because he's waiting to play the 6-max tournament starting soon, but with Yogo, Luke Brabin and Michael Fadersen still amongst the players left, his reign at the top may soon be threatened.
