Rann Looking for More

Level 5 : 200/400, 75 ante

The UK's James Rann recently finished fourth in the Aussie Millions Main Event and is now in Perth looking for more Australian success. He was starting to get short stacked during this current level, but we then watched him scoop a handy pot against two opponents on a {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} board. It was checked down on the river, with Rann tabling {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} which was good to send two sets of cards into the muck.

Triple for Short Mile

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Local player Mile Krstanoski found himself quite short stacked recently, but then managed a handle triple up.

We arrived at the hand in question with a {9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop already on the felt. This is when Krstanoski got his short stack in against two opponents, including Anthony Legg.

Krstanoski watched on as Legg put the other player to the test on the {a-Hearts} turn. The player called off his stack and the cards were turned over.

It was Krstanoski out in front with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, while Legg had {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and was looking good for the side pot and to send one player home.

The board completed with a {5-Hearts} and the main pot went to Krstanoski, while Legg scooped the side pot and sent a player home.

Lucky Chew Double

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Stevan Chew recently managed a lucky double up.

We didn't see how the chips went in, but Chew confirmed that he got aggressive preflop with {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} from the button, with a stack of just over 13,000, and ran into the {k-}{k-} of the player in the small blind.

The {10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades} board was good for Chew and so he moved back over starting stack.

Huang Gets Some off Anunu

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

We recently arrived to Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang's table to find him and Mishel Anunu on the river of a {5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} board. Huang was in the big blind position and led out for 2,950 here. Anunu made the call and Huang quickly tabled {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for the rivered wheel. Anunu turned over his {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for top pair and for a moment seemed to not realise Huang had hit the straight. Regardless, his cards went into the muck and the pot went to Anunu.
