Short-Stacked Bechar Double

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Navin Bechar just managed a lucky double.

He jammed for around 270,000 from the button and Raiden Kan called from the small blind.

Bechar sheepishly turned over his {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, which was struggling against Kan's {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

The {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop gave Bechar a pair and flush draw, but gave Kan a set.

Then a {k-Hearts} hit the turn to give Bechar the flush he was looking for.

Bechar managed to fade on the {q-Spades} river and with that, he had doubled, while Kan is now one of the short stacks.

Raiden Kan - 6th place
Raiden Kan - 6th place

Another player has been eliminated!

Raiden Kan's final hand began when Michael Kane opened under the gun for 50,000. Kan three-bet all in for 247,000 from the button and Kane opted to make the call to put Kan at risk.

Kan: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Kane: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Kan was up out of his seat as the dealer spread out a {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop and started exiting the tournament area by the time a {5-Clubs} turn and a {10-Diamonds} river had been dealt on the felt.

For the sixth-place finish, Kan took home $20,200.

Kane has increased lead as the five remaining players are guaranteed $25,500.

Michael Guzzardi Eliminated in 5th Place ($25,500)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Michael Guzzardi - 5th Place
Michael Guzzardi - 5th Place

After a very slow start to the day, the ANZPT Perth Main Event is now down to four players.

It was Michael Guzzardi who found the rail in fourth place.

Guzzardi looked down at {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} in the small blind and raised it up to 50,000. Michael Doyle moved all in from the big blind with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, having Guzzardi covered, and Guzzardi called.

It was looking like it was Guzzardi's turn to double, but with a {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board being spread on the felt, he was eliminated with a $25,500 score.

The top four have now locked up $31,000.

Four-Handed Slowness

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The action has slowed considerably during four-handed play.

The payjumps between fourth and third isn't massive, but the jumps between the top three payouts are mammoth.

Here is a reminder of what they are playing for.

Shoving Turn

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Michael Kane was in the small blind when he opened it up to 55,000. Stephen McHugh called out of the big blind and the dealer spread out a {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop. Kane led for 42,000 here and McHugh made the call. On the {3-Clubs} turn, Kane checked and McHugh moved all in. Kane opted to get out of the way and so the pot went to McHugh.

This hand was the first to go past a flop since we lost Michael Guzzardi in 5th place!

Four To Break

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Despite losing two players, the last level was very quiet on the action front.

Maybe this 10-minute break will liven things up a bit.

Check back soon.

Blinds: 15,000/30,000

Ante: 5,000

Back Again

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The four players are back from their break and the cards are back in the air.

The average stack is now around 30 big blinds.

Michael Kane is still well and truly the chip leader.
