Back To Play... Until Who Knows When

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The players are back from their extended 30-minute break.

There are 12 players remaining.

This day was scheduled to be played down to the final nine, but there are talks from the staff at The Star that we will be playing it out tonight.

Right now, that doesn't matter too much, what matters is getting to the final nine and then we will take it from there.

Big Double For Adrian

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Adrian Attenborough was down to 205,000 when he looked down at {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} in the small blind. Rory Young had opened to 35,000 from early position and promptly called a shove from Attenborough.

It was looking like it would be all over as Attenborough was up against Young's {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

But then the board ran out {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and the double went to Attenborough.

Good Night to Adrian in 12th

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Adrian Attenborough has been bounced to the rail with Jazz Mathers continuing to assert his authority on the make up of this final table.

Attenborough opened for a raise, Mathers three-bet and Attenborough moved his short stack all in. Mathers made the call with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} to be racing with Attenborough’s {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

The flop was a bare {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} but the {K-Spades} turn card shot Mathers to the front. Attenborough would need a queen but the {7-Clubs} wasn’t it. Attenborough had a fantastic Aussie Millions series and looks a player to watch in future as he finishes in 12th place.

Zhou Finds Big Double

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

After a raising war with Rory Young, Steven Zhou found himself all in for 348,000 holding {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} against {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Young had the button and was getting aggressive and it ulimately resulted in a Zhou double up as the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

Young still has plenty of chips, but now Zhou looks very threatening with 11 remaining.

Peco Pays Back Parker

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Peco Stojanovski was dealt a brutal beat at the hands of John Parker earlier.

But now he had got him back.

Stojanovski had opened it up from the cut off and Parker moved all in from the small blind.

Stojanovski called having 321,000 behind - around 100,000 more than Parker.

Stojanovski: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Parker: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

The {3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades} board gave Stojanovski a sweat, but it was all clear as he was back in safety zone, while Parker is now the short stack.

Parker Out In 11th As Final Table Bubble Begins

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

John Parker was the last Kiwi in the field but his time in the ANZPT Sydney Main Event is now over.

Parker was short and moved all in with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} with Nathan Sawyers making the call with {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

The board bricked out {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to see Sawyers rake in the chips and eliminate Parker in 11th place.

That puts us on the final table bubble.

We’re playing two five-handed tables and we can confirm that play will be stopping this evening once we have one more elimination.

Miracle Milan

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Milan Gurung was just about to be eliminated and we were just about to be at our final table!

He was all in from the big blind for 229,000 holding {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} against the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} of Rory Young.

The {4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop gave Gurung a set, but Young hit the flush to leave Gurung struggling.

The {9-Clubs} turn didn't change too much, but the {9-Spades} river gave Gurung a full house to double!

Ten-handed action continues.

With the flop reading {2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, both Peco Stojanovski and Joshua Redhouse committed 80,000 to see the {7-Hearts} hit the turn.
Redhouse checked to Stojanovski on the button who bet 120,000. Redhouse quickly called and the {A-Hearts} appeared on the river. Redhouse checked again and Stojanovski checked behind before opening {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for a pair of aces.

“River!” exclaimed Stojanovski as Redhouse flashed {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} and tossed them muckwards. The dinner break leader is down to 1.15 million with Stojanovski now up to 1.25 million.

Gill Gets Some Chips

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Oliver Gill is up to around 650,000 after winning a handy pot off Peco Stojanovic.

It started when the action was folded to Stojanovic in the small blind. He limped in and Gill checked from the big blind.

The {7-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop would see Stpojanovic lead for 30,000 and Gill raise it up to 75,000. Stojanovic called.

On the {j-Diamonds} turn, Stojanovic led for 75,000 and Gill moved all in for 406,000.

"What are you repping? Nine-Ten?" Asked Stojanovic before eventually folding.

Gill showed the {10-Spades} as he raked in the pot.
