Proplotski Sent Packing

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante
Roman Priplotski
Roman Priplotski

Danny Huynh opened with a raise preflop only to have Roman Proplotski ship an additional 15,425 over the top from late position. Huynh made the call once the action returned to him, and the cards were soon placed on their backs.

Proplotski: {K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Huynh: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Unfortunately for Priplotski, the window card was the {10-Hearts}, and when the rest of the board filled out {10-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, he was forced to hit the rail unable to replicate his second placing in last week's Joe Hachem Deep Stack Series $550 Main Event where he earned a handy AU$48,000.

Huynh is now sitting with 40,000 in chips.

De Wolfe Climbing

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante
Roland de Wolfe
Roland de Wolfe

With the board reading {K-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, one player fired 2,700 before Roland de Wolfe was to act. De Wolfe put in a raise to 8,000 with one player still to act behind him before action got back to the original bettor. The player behind de Wolfe tanked for a bit and then made the call. The original bettor folded.

The river completed the board with the {10-Clubs} and de Wolfe fired 13,000. His opponent folded and de Wolfe improved to 65,000 in chips.

Hachem Eliminated

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante
Tony Hachem
Tony Hachem

Team PokerStars Pro Tony Hachem has seen better days. At least for this one, it's over and he doesn't have to endure anymore pain. His day didn't end though without one last beat.

Hachem was all in preflop with the {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} against last year's sixth-place finisher Andrew Hiscox who held the {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. The board ran out {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and with the seven on the flop, Hachem was sent out the door.

Pauchon Chipping Up with Sevens

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante
Yann Pauchon in action

Facing two limps ahead of him, Yann Pauchon limped in also before the hijack bumped it to 2,500.

The blinds and limpers passed, but Pauchon made the call to see a {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop with both players committing 3,000 each as the {3-Spades} spiked on the turn.

Pauchon too the lead with a bet of 8,500, and after his opponent tanked for over three minutes, he released his hand to see Pauchon collect the pot to move to 70,000 in chips while tabling his {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a flopped set.
