From the button, Ian Parnell moved all in for roughly 150,000 and Tamas Lendvai made the call from the small blind.

Parnell: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Lendvai: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

With Parnell in a classic race situation, the {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop saw Lendvai take the lead before the {A-Diamonds} and {8-Spades} landed on the turn and river to end Parnell's tournament in 13th place for a $7,094 collect as Lendvai soars to 640,000 in chips.

As Vogelman collected the pot, he moved to 260,000 as Boxell slipped to 400,000 in chips.

Tamas Lendvai opened the cutoff to 23,000 only to have Tom Grigg make it 60,000 from the small blind.

Lendvai responded with a four-bet to 115,000 to force a fold from Grigg.

Although the pot may not seem to significant, it is one that saw Grigg relinquish the chip lead sliding down to 640,000 as Lendvai climbed to 700,000 in chips.

Grigg Continues to Slide

Tom Grigg opened to 25,000 and Tamas Lendvai made the call from the big blind.

Both players checked the {7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} flop as the {2-Hearts} landed on the turn and Lendvai led for 35,000. Grigg made the call, and when the river landed the {A-Clubs}, both players checked it through.

Lendvai tabled his {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} to prompt a muck from Grigg as he slipped to 620,000 and Lendvai climbed to 780,000.

Leaoasavaii Licking Lips at Rivered Double

With the action on Danny Leaoasavaii under the gun, he moved all in for roughly 90,000. Tom Grigg made the call from middle position to put New Zealand's Godfather of Hip-Hop - Brotha D - at risk.

Leaoasavaii: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Grigg: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

With Leaoasavaii holding a slight advantage, he would unfortunately see a {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop to leave him with just two outs to improve. The {5-Clubs} on the turn changed little, but when the {3-Hearts} spiked on the river, a thunderous boom rocketed through the SKYCITY Auckland Poker Room as cheers, claps and hi-fives celebrated Leaoasavaii two-outer.

As Grigg continued to slide; now down to 550,000, Leaoasavaii soared over the 200,000-chip mark - much to the joy of the majority of railbirds watching on.
