Reina Sends Two Home

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Joe Reina has recently eliminated two players to see his stack increase well into the six-figure region.

Reina held {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} when he had his two relatively short-stacked opponent's at risk holding {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and just like that we had lost two more players on Day 2 of the ANZPT Sydney Main Event.

Crocodile Down

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

“One Croc down,” Billy Argyros said as he wandered past the media desk.

Apparently Argyros’ tournament came to an end when he got his chips in preflop holding {k-}{k-} and was outflopped by {10-}{10-}.

Brett No Threat to the Big Stack

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Michael Pinzone’s large stack has grown some more.

Picking up the action from a {4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop, It was Brett Chalhoub versus Pinzone.

Pinzone was in the big blind and checked it to Chalhoub, who bet 3,700. Back on Pinzone and he would raise to 7,200. That amount isn’t a full raise, so it was forced to be a min-raise to 7,400. Chalhoub now made it 16,300 to go and after a few moments, Pinzone called.

On the {5-Spades} turn, Pinzone again checked and this time Chalhoub bet 17,200. Pinzone had a look at Chalhoub’s stack, saw he had around 60,000 behind and then put in a raise. Pinzone put out around 30,000, which wasn’t enough to raise yet again, but this time before the dealer could even say it was 34,400, Chalhoub had folded.

“Did you flop it?” asked Chalhoub to no response except a few laughs.

Aston Looking for More Sydney Success

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Former ANZ Player of the Year runner-up and previous third-place finisher of this very event, Anthony Aston, has just added some more chips to his large stack.

It was against Milan Gurung and we arrived on the {3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop with almost 20,000 already in the pot. Gurung was in the cut-off position and checked it to Aston, who bet 11,000. Gurung decided not to call and the chips went to Aston.

Aston is now up to around 130,000.

Plan for Day 2

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

We have just been informed that the plan today has been set at playing eight levels - unless we don't make the money by then. If we don't make the money, we will continue playing past the eight levels until we do. ANZPT Commissioner Danny McDonagh is fairly certain we will make the money in that time.

Big Gift Double for Gorr

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

With the board reading {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, 2011 Aussie Millions champ David Gorr had a his last 29,300 in the middle and the action was on Swaran Chand. There was a big pot already in the middle, and from what we could piece together it sounded like Chand had bet 20,000 before Gorr moved all in.

Chand asked for a count before calling with her {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} top set but she had run into the {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} of Gorr who flopped the straight.
Chand would need the board to pair, but the {K-Hearts} turn and {3-Diamonds} river completed the board to see Gorr double through to 120,000.

Early Day 2 Chips for Mile

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Mile Krstanoski has just picked up quite a few chips early on Day 2.

We arrived at the action with a big pot already in the middle and with Krstanoski involved in a hand with Nabil Edgtton. There was a considerable amount in the middle on the turn of a {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board and Edgtton was busy leading out for 8,800. Krastonski made the call and the dealer flipped over a {2-Spades} on the river. Edgtton shut down here and tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, while Krstanoski scooped the pot with his {10-Spades}{8-Spades}.
