We stumbled upon the empty seat of Tony Hachem, and presumed he was eliminated from the tournament. Didier Guerin, also at the table, was able to fill us in on what had happened. Hachem committed his remaining 5,000 in chips holding on a board reading with two clubs. His opponent called holding , and when it ran out the and , Hachem would be sent to the rail, not able to add a 10th ANZPT cash to his impressive poker resume.

The action started with Dennis Huntly opening with a min-raise to 400 from under the gun. He was called by the player to his immediate left, plus the two blinds, who all saw the flop come . The player in the small blind led out for 1,100, bringing a fold from the big blind. Huntly then tanked for a minute before firing out 6,000, much to the surprise of the other players. The two other players in the pot both folded, as Huntly tabled to assure everyone he had the goods.

Tony Hachem is never one to shy away from telling the poker media about hands he’s involved in. We noticed that his starting stack had been halved shortly after taking his seat. He explained that he was involved in a hand against Patrick Healy, where he flopped two pair holding on a board reading . The turn came a giving Healy the better two pair holding and when the river didn’t improve his hand, he had sent 8,000 in chips across the table.

A short-stacked Tom Grigg opened from under the gun, with a bet to 250. He found six callers preflop, who all saw the flop fall . All seven players checked to see the drop on the turn. The big blind checked, before Grigg announced all in for his remaining 1,225 in chips. He was called by a player in middle position as well as the player on the button. The dropped on the river and both players checked before confidently tabling and respectively for straights. Grigg regrettably tabled his for two-pair, which was not enough to keep him in the tournament.

We arrived at the table to see the board spread out and the action on the player in the hijack. He bet out 2,000 and was called by Dale Marsland in the cut-off. The two saw the complete the board, before Marsland called a 5,000 bet from his opponent. He wasn’t happy to see the tabled for a full house, as he mucked his cards.
Even though he lost a big pot, Marsland is still sitting on 18,000 in chips.
