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 ![]()
and was up against ![]()
.
Good news!
Bad news?
Flop: ![]()
![]()
No help on the turn and river and Demlakian was sent packing.
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.

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 ![]()
![]()
flop, with a handy pot already in the middle.
Krstanoski was all in for 22,075 and it was a cooler as Krstanoski held ![]()
for Broadway, while his opponent had ![]()
for a set of jacks.
The
turn and the
river meant Krstanoski was up to around 70,000 in chips.

With just around 10 minutes remaining in the day, it likes like Danny Zhong and Jazz Mathers, along with Alex Lee, will be battling it out for the chip lead.

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.
Jim Collopy has just been eliminated during one of the final hands of the night.
Collopy was very unlucky to run his ![]()
into the ![]()
of Martin Kozlov.
No help and it was all over!

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 ![]()
![]()
. 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
and Allan tossed out another 4,500 and Zhong called with the
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 ![]()
which proved a good call against Zhong’s ![]()
for ace-high. That blow will likely cost Zhong the end-of-day chip lead as Allan doubles to around 65,000 chips.
