Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
The Toothpick has been cut. Antonis Kambouroglou, otherwise known as “Toothpick Tony” has run out of patience, and chips, here in the ANZPT Melbourne Main Event.
The flop read 
when Kambouroglou moved all in for his last 16,300 over the top of a continuation bet of around 5,000. His opponent thought before making the call with 
to have the Toothpick in trouble with his ambitious 
.
The turn was the 
which reduced Kambouroglou’s outs further and the 
river was a brick to see Kambouroglou make a quick exit.

PokerStars Team Online Roy Bhasin was looking like he was about to be the chip leader here on Day 1a of the ANZPT Melbourne Main Event. He, and one opponent, got all the chips in on the turn of a 
board. Bhasin had around 30,000 behind at this point, while his at-risk opponent had 15,000. Here is what the cards looked like:
Bhasin:
Opponent: 
"Get high!" the at-risk player yelled, hoping for a split pot, even though it wouldn't have actually helped.
River: 
That was better than he hoped but terrible for Bhasin.
The full house sent the double up to one player, while Bhasin is down to 15,000.

Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Alex Lynskey is starting to move towards the chip lead.
We recently watched Lynskey scoop up a handy pot on a 
board. By the time we arrived at the action, it was at
showdown, and Lynskey’s opponent was busy mucking. Lynskey, on the other hand, had tabled to win the pot.
Lynskey is up to 75,000.
