Davidson Not to Be Outdone

Stewart Davidson must have heard what Brendan Edmonds was up to. Davidson eliminated another opponent, tabling {A-?} {K-?} on a board of {K-?} {8-?} {3-?} after his opponent moved all in with {K-?} {J-?}. Davidson's hand held up, allowing him to drag a pot that pushed him back into the chip lead (temporarily?) at 250,000 chips.

Edmonds Takes Over the Chip Lead

Brendan Edmonds is on a real heater the last few levels. He has recently eliminated another opponent, tabling {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} to his opponent's {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} after a raising war ended with his opponent all in. Edmonds had a king on the {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} flop, then was left to sweat his opponent's gutshot straight draw. It didn't come; the turn and river were running threes.

Edmonds now has the largest stack in the tournament, at 243,000 chips.

Kambouris Crippled

Antonis "Tony K" Kambouris is short again. After making an impressive comeback from a short stack earlier in the day, Kambouris got all in against Michael Whibley preflop. Whibley had {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} and was in dominating shape against Kambouris' {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}. The board ran out {5-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {9-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {K-Hearts}, leaving Kambouris with just 8,000 chips.

Basile Finds Aces

Roberto Damelian has taken a huge dent at the hands of Tony Basile.

Basile opened with a raise from under the gun to 4,800 before Damelian popped it up to 14,400 from middle position. The table folded and the action was back with Basile, who moved all in for 67,500. Damelian made the call.

Damelian: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Basile: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

In a classic cooler the board fell {2-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Damelian falls to 132,000, with Basile now up to nearly 140,000.

Ivan Tan Sighting

It's been a very, very tough day for Ivan Tan. He hasn't been able to get anything going through almost four full rounds of play. He did get a few more chips to work with by calling a late-position all-in bet of 12,300 with {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. His opponent showed {6-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}. Both players hit the {7-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} flop, but Tan was best as the turn fell {7-Clubs} and the river fell {10-Spades}. He sent his opponent to the rail and is up to 41,000.

So Long Huntly

Dennis Huntly got it in good with {A-?}{K-?}. His opponent, Daniel Hameiri, called him with {K-Spades} {J-Spades}, leaving Huntly in prime position to double up. But the flop came down {Q-?} {J-?} {Q-?}, leaving Huntly to draw at an ace or a ten. He couldn't find either; the board ran out {2-?} {7-?}. He shrugged and smiled before making his way outside the tournament ropes.
