Lee Goes From Robusto to Busto

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Alex Lee started the day as the chip leader, but has now been eliminated in 20th place.

Lee lost plenty of pots early and was down to around 240,000 when he got all the chips in preflop holding {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} and had to come up against Murray Roach with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{k-Spades} and it was to the rail for Lee.

One more elimination and we will be down to two tables.

Knight Gone in 18th

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

As the players returned from the break and formed the final two tables, it would be Sean Knight who would be next to depart.

Oliver Gill moved all in from the small blind for around ten big blinds with {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Knight called all in for less from the big blind with {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} to have Gill dominated.

“A jack is coming. It’s not even in doubt!” exclaimed Gill.

He was right.

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} to see Gill spike a jack to eliminate Knight in 18th place. Gill moves up to 185,000.

Double Time For Spano

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

After a small lull in play, Robert Spano moved all in from under the gun for his last 84,000. Peco Stojanovski made the call and tabled {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} to be racing with Spano’s {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

With two players at the table saying they had folded threes, Spano didn’t want to fall behind, but he was able to maintain the lead on the board of {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}. He doubles to 180,000.

Gill Finds The Double

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

When the action folded to Peco Stojanovski in the small blind, he would move all in.

Oliver Gill was in the big blind, so Stojanovski was moving in for effectively the 130,000 in Gill's stack.

Gill peeled his cards, first looking at an {a-Clubs} and then finding a {10-Clubs}.

"Call!" shouted Gill as Stojanovski.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Gill had doubled up.

Polias Home in 17th

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Nicholas Polias has been sent crashing to the rail in a huge clash with Andrew Michael. The chips went all in on the turn with the board reading {2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Polias held {a-Clubs}{A-Spades} but he’d run into the set of Michael who held {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

The river bricked the {K-Spades} to see Polias eliminated.

Redhouse Rising as Murray Gone in 16th

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Murray Roach looked down at {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and after a raising war with Joshua Redhouse, his stack of around 700,000 was in the middle.

Unfortunately for Roach, Redhouse had {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}- no help for Roach as he was sent home in 16th place.

Redhouse is the new chip leader!
