Lee Continues Doublng the Short Stacks

Christopher Lee's day isn't over, but it is off to a rocky start. Following his double-up of Graeme Putt, Lee next doubled up Roel Pijpers -- twice. First he called Pijpers' very short all-in with {10-Diamonds} {4-Spades} from the big blind. Pijpers showed {A-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} and hit an ace on the river to take the hand. Shortly thereafter, Pijpers was all in again. Lee had a much better hand this time, {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, but so did Pijpers, who showed {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. Lee flopped a set {9-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {7-Spades}, but because this is APPT Sydney, Pijpers turned his overset, {K-Hearts}. There was no one-outer on the river for Lee, as it fell {7-Diamonds}.

Lee is down to 90,000 in chips. Pijpers is up to about 125,000.

The Davids in the field haven't fared well in the early going. David Lee was eliminated on the first hand; David Kim has followed shortly thereafter. He moved all in preflop for roughly 58,000 with {A-Clubs} {6-Spades} and was called by John Mendel, who showed {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Mendel flopped a flush on a board of {Q-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {3-Hearts}, ending the hand and the tournament for Kim. When the board completed {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, Kim headed to the payout table.

David Lee Eliminated in 47th Place (AU$8,400)

David Lee - 47th place
David Lee - 47th place
David Lee started the day in what we refer to as "The Dank Position" -- dead last in the chip counts. It was no surprise that he shipped his short stack into the middle on the first hand at his table. His {J-Clubs} {4-Clubs} was up against chip leader Frank Saffioti's {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}. Saffioti made top pair on the {8-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades} flop and never looked back. Lee has reported to the rail to collect his AU$8,400 in prize money.

Jimmy Wong Eliminated in 48th Place (AU$8,400)

Jimmy Wong - 48th place
On the first hand at his table, Jimmy Wong raised to 17,000 from under the gun. He was reraised by Antonio Fazzolari to 40,000 and made the call. On a flop of {8-Spades} {A-Clubs} {9-Spades}, Wong shipped in the rest of his chips. Fazzolari made an easy call with {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for two pair. Wong showed only one pair, {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. He couldn't find a king or a queen on the {6-Spades} turn or {8-Diamonds} river. He is the first casualty of the day
