Salter the Almost Chip Leader

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

We were just about to declare the UK's Jack Salter as the likely chip leader after he had an opponent call in on a {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts} flop with {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} against {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} in a 60,000-chip pot. However, the dealer had other ideas, flipping over a {2-Hearts} turn and a {k-Hearts} river to make a flush on the board to chop the pot.

Despite chopping this pot, Salter is still going strong with around 45,000 in chips.

Guzzardi Gets a Nice One

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Michael Guzzardi has just scooped up a substantial pot.

We picked up the action on the river of a {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} board with plenty of chips already in the middle. It was checked to Guzzardi here and he bet 11,200. Guzzardi's opponent tanked and eventually called, tabling {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} as he did so. The king-high flush was not strong enough for Guzzardi's {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, however, and so the pot went to Guzzardi.

Mustapha Makes the Right Call

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

We recently arrived to find Italy's Mustapha Kanit facing a bet of 5,200 on the river of a {4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} board.

Kanit thought for a long term, studying his opponent and the board for several minutes.

Eventually he called and it proved to be the right call when it was revealed that Kanit's {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} had trumped the {k-Spades}{j-Spades} of his opponent.

Kanit is now on well over 35,000 and is looking strong.

Rickhuss Loses Some

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

ANZPT regular Wayde Rickhuss has just lost a substantial pot late in Day 1b

We picked up the action of the hand on a {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop. Rickhuss checked to his opponent who led for 1,200. Rickhuss then raised it up to 2,800 and a call would see an {a-Diamonds} hit the turn. This time Rickhuss led for 3,500 and his opponent took his time before making it 7,300 to go. With a confused look on his face, Rickhuss eventually shook his head and folded his cards.
