Last Level

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The final level of the night has just begun.

We have lost more than half of the starting field of 211, with approximately 100 players still at the tables with 60 minutes remaining in the night.

Painful Flop for Demlakian

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

2012 ANZPT Queenstown runner-up Ken Demlakian has just let us know over here at the media desk that he has been eliminated from Day 1a of the ANZPT Sydney Main Event. It wasn't pretty either.

Apparently Demlakian got all his chips in with {a-}{a-} and was up against {k-}{q-}.

Good news!

Bad news?

Flop: {3-}{q-}{q-}

No help on the turn and river and Demlakian was sent packing.

Swingy Leading for Lee, Swingy Losing for Allan

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Alex Lee has been rumbling in a whole heap of pots on Day 1a of the ANZPT Sydney Main Event.

He was up to 100,000 halfway through the day, fell to under 60,000 and then moved back up to 75,000. Now he has runaway with the chip lead as we head into the clutch stages of the night, currently sitting with 140,000 in chips.

Let's see if he can hold onto them.

On the other end of the spectrum, David Allan was first up towards 100,000 early in the day, but now has just 15,000.

Let's see if Allan can win some back.

Mile Coolers Big Pot

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Western Australian Mile Krstanoski has just picked up a very nice pot during this last level of the night. Krstanoski was up against one opponent when the chips went in on a {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop, with a handy pot already in the middle.
Krstanoski was all in for 22,075 and it was a cooler as Krstanoski held {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} for Broadway, while his opponent had {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} for a set of jacks.

The {5-Spades} turn and the {2-Clubs} river meant Krstanoski was up to around 70,000 in chips.

Final Three Hands

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The tournament clock has been paused and the final three hands are being dealt at each table.

Be sure to stay tuned for any late action and to see who ends up with the chip lead, along with all the end-of-day counts.

Handy Late Double for Allan

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Dave Allan has landed a handy double up in the dying moments of the day. He opened with a raise to 2,000 from under the gun and picked up three other callers to see a flop of {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Action checked to Allan who bet 3,500 and play folded to Danny Zhong on the button who was the lone caller.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts} and Allan tossed out another 4,500 and Zhong called with the {6-Spades} completing the board on the river. Allan checked and Zhong bet 20,000, which was just enough to put Allan to a decision for his tournament life.

Allan cringed before committing his chips with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} which proved a good call against Zhong’s {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for ace-high. That blow will likely cost Zhong the end-of-day chip lead as Allan doubles to around 65,000 chips.

More Late Chips for Mathers

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Jazz Mathers has eliminated a short-stacked opponent on one of the last hands to end the day on a high note. It was Mathers’ {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} up against {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} with Mathers finding a couple of kings on the board of {K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

Mathers is now up to around 190,000 and likely to end the day as our chip leader.
