Facing an under the gun raise to 24,000, Kani Edwards moved all in for 145,000 from the button.

Sitting in the big blind, Santi Soriano Ramos moved all for roughly 300,000 to force the original raiser to fold.

Edwards: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Ramos: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out a rather undramatic {K-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Spades} to see Edwards eliminated in 12th place as Ramos climbs to 490,000 in chips.

Leaoasavaii Soaring

Tamas Lendvai opened to 24,000 from the button only to have Danny Leaoasavaii three-bet to 53,000 from the small blind.

With the action on Tom Grigg in the big blind, he made it 110,000 to go only to have Lendvai move all in for 860,000. Leaoasavaii committed his 224,000 and Grigg tank-folded what he stated was {Q-}{Q-}.

Lendvai: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Leaoasavaii: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The final board ran out {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Hearts} to see Leaoasavaii find a near triple to 570,000 as Lendvai slips to 680,000 in chips.

Srdjan Mitrovic entered the pot from the small blind with a raise to 25,000 only to have Luke Edwards three-bet to 75,000 from the big. Mitrovic moved all in and Edwards quickly made the call.

Mitrovic: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Edwards: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop saw Mitrovic take the lead, and after the {5-Diamonds} and {9-Hearts} landed on the turn and river, he doubled to 580,000 as Edwards was left crippled to 60,000 in chips.

Ropati Pushes

Tom Grigg opened to 28,000 from the small blind as Ropati Toleafoa made the call from the big.

Grigg fired out 32,000 on the {K-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop, but Toleafoa would respond with a 180,000-chip all in to force a fold from Grigg as he slipped to 350,000 while Toleafoa climbed to 250,000 in chips.

Luke Edwards Eliminated in 11th Place ($8,288)

Luke Edwards pushed his remaining stack into the pot from the button and Leo Boxell gave him action from the small blind.

Edwards: {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Boxell: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Just like his cripple hand, Edwards would again be disgusted at the flop as it fell {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} to see Boxell flop the nut straight.

With Edwards only drawing to running cards for a chop, the {K-Spades} and {6-Hearts} on the turn and river would the Australian's tournament in 11th place for a $8,288 payday - which bested his result from last year of finishing in 28th.

Two Tables

Every tour and every casino around the world conduct their final table bubble play differently.

The majority see the final ten (for a nine-handed final table) merge together and play until they lose one.

However, here at SKYCITY Auckland Casino for the PokerStars.net APPT Auckland Main Event, both tables have been kept separate as two tables of five until one more player is eliminated.

Leaoasavaii Out Kicks Lendvai

Tamas Lendvai opened to 27,000 from the cutoff and Danny Leaoasavaii made the call next to act from the button.

Lendvai fired out 44,000 on the {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop with Leaoasavaii calling before both players checked the {6-Spades} on the turn as the river landed the {7-Spades}.

Lendvai pushed out a bet of 56,000 and Leaoasavaii made the call tabling his {A-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} to best Lendvai's {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

As Leaoasavaii was pushed the pot to move to 680,000, Lendvai slipped to 550,000 in chis.
