Michael Pinzone’s large stack has grown some more.
Picking up the action from a 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 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.
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 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.
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.
The following player's are no longer in their seats and considering there hasn't been any balancing of tables yet, it is safe to say they have been eliminated from the tournament.
With the board reading , 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 top set but she had run into the of Gorr who flopped the straight.
Chand would need the board to pair, but the turn and river completed the board to see Gorr double through to 120,000.
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 board and Edgtton was busy leading out for 8,800. Krastonski made the call and the dealer flipped over a on the river. Edgtton shut down here and tabled , while Krstanoski scooped the pot with his .
