Nyberg Over 40k

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Facing two limps, Dean 'dinhjo' Nyberg entered the pot from the hijack with a raise to 1,400 and found a call from the button and just one of the limpers.

On a flop of {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} after the limper checked, Nyberg fired out a continuation-bet of 2,200 and was called by only the player on the button before both players checked the {K-Hearts} on the turn.

When the dealer dropped the {3-Clubs} on the river, Nyberg tossed in a bet of 5,025 to force a fold from his opponent as he climbed to 40,500 in chips.

De Wolfe Four-Bets CNT_CRUSHER

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Roland de Wolfe opened the button with a raise to 900 only to have Ben 'CNT_CRUSHER' Delaney three-bet the big blind to 2,700.

De Wolfe spent nearly two minutes deliberating before opting to move his 17,000-plus chip stack into the middle to force a near insta-muck from Delaney as he slipped to 26,000.

"Committed!" announced Tony G from across the table to force a wry smile on de Wolfe's face.

Lisandro Shoves Turn

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

A player raised to 1,000 from middle position and Jeff Lisandro reraised to 2,500. The original raiser made the call and the flop came down {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Lisandro checked and his opponent bet. We didn't catch the amount as Lisandro made the call.

The turn brought the {4-Hearts} and Lisandro checked again. His opponent bet 12,000 and Lisandro moved all in for 36,475. The player folded and gave Lisandro the pot, who's now up to 68,000 in chips.

On a board of {Q-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and a bet of 1,700 confronting him, Joe Hachem made the call next to act before Danny 'Brotha D' Leaoasavaii bumped it to 5,300 from the button.

The turn aggressor passed, but Hachem made the call to see the {8-Clubs} land on the river and the action checked over to Leaoasavaii.

The APPT Auckland and ANZPT Darwin Champion paused for a few moments before firing out a bet of 7,000 in which Hachem called.

Leaoasavaii tabled his {J-Spades}{8-Spades} to prompt a muck from Hachem as he slipped to 22,000 while Leaoasavaii climbed to 43,000 in chips.

Six players committed 700 preflop; including Aleks Brkovic, Michael Tran and Scott Kerr.

Brkovic took the lead from early position firing out a 2,700-chip bet on a {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop with both Tran and Kerr folding as the player in the hijack called while the preflop raiser also mucked.

Checking the {A-Hearts} on the turn, Brkovic was then faced with a bet of 3,500 that he quickly folded to while slipping to 35,600 in chips.

Khalil Busts Obst

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

James Obst raised Ali Khalil's bet of 1,700 to 5,050 on the flop of {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Khalil reraised to 15,050 and after some thought, Obst moved all in for about 30,000. Khalil made the call.

Khalil: {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Obst: {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

With top two pair, Khalil was looking to hold off the flush draw that Obst held. The turn brought the {8-Spades} to give Obst two pair, but he still needed a club or an eight on the river.

When the {10-Spades} hit the river, things were all over for Obst, who was only with us for one level of play today. Khalil bumped his stack to a nice 85,000 in chips with this hand.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and paired the board. Lisandro fired 10,000 and got called again. Lisandro tabled the {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} for a full house and won the pot. He's up to 48,000 in chips now.
