Rodney Davidson Eliminated
We caught the action on the river in a hand between Australian Rodney Davidson and PokerStars qualifier Tommy Henstein. The board read where Henstein asked for a count of Davidson's stack.
4,125 was the amount in front of Davidson as Henstein fired out 1,600 into the pot. Immediately Davidson slid all of his chips into the middle sending Henstein into the tank.
"I can beat ace-jack" quipped Henstein which received little reaction from Davidson.
"Does that mean you've got 2-3?" joked Andrew Scott from seat ten as Henstein deliberated. He eventually decided to make the call and tabled for an overpair. It was a good call as Davidson shook his head and could only muster up .

Andrew Scott
As mentioned previously, Table 2 is definitely a table to watch. Andrew Scott is at one end of the table; Wally "the Dream" Sombero is at the other end of the table. Sandwiched in between them are Rodney Davidson and James Broom.
There hasn't been a tremendous amount of action yet on the table -- we've seen Scott and Sombero both win a few pots with uncontested flop bets. Don't expect that to last very long.
