Walch Falling

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Justin Walch has fallen back down to around 110,000.

Picking up the action from the turn of a {4-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} board, Paul Murray led for 40,000 from the under-the-gun position. Walch instantly-called from the hijack and a {j-Clubs} completed the board on the river. This time Murray led for 140,000 and Walsh immediately called.

At showdown, Murray turned over {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Walsh mucked. Great river for Murray!

Blinds: 8,000/16,000

Ante: 2,000

No Flops

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

With such large pay jumps and so many players on similar stacks, it's probably not too surprising that there hasn't been huge fire works early at the final table. In fact, we haven't seen one flop in the last 15 minutes. There has been plenty of preflop shoving, but nothing has come of it.

More Vesko Action

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We have just seen our first flop in quite some time.

It started with Brian Mcallister opening to 36,000 from under the gun. Vesko Zmukic called from the big blind and the dealer flipped over {2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}. When Zmukic checked here, Mcallister moved all in and Zmukic folded, leaving himself with around 150,000.

Final Table Paused

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The final table has been paused for just a few minutes while Crown Perth run a very loud and distracting promotion which involves several dancers and 1950's music in a nearby area to the poker room.

Back with Counts

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

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

Here are the approximate stacks of the nine players. As you can see, quite a few are very short.

Double Deuce Double for Blatt

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Justin Walch was in the hijack when he opened it up to 32,000. The action folded to Dean Blatt in the small blind and he went deep into the tank. Eventually he moved all in for 75,000. Walch called and the cards were tabled.

Walch: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Blatt: {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Blatt moved his stack towards 200,000.

Walch is back down to around 100,000.
