Andrew Hinrichsen kicked things off with a raise to 900 with Connie Lai making the call before Ryan Mckay moved all in for 8,650 from the button.

The small blind made the call as both Hinrichsen and Lai folded.

Mckay: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{J-Spades} to see Mckay unable to win the race to find himself on the rail.

Grigg Doubles

On a flop of {10-}{8-}{6-}, Tom Grigg has found himself all in holding {8-}{6-} against an opponent's {9-}{7-}.

The {10-} on the turn wasn't the repeater Grigg was hoping for, but when the {6-} landed on the river, Grigg doubled through to 50,000 in chips.

Our PokerNews reporter rushed over to table 2 to find a massive pot occurring.

With a raise in late position, Jesse McKenzie made the call from the button before Andrew Hinrichsen three-bet from the small blind. Danny Silk committed his remaining few chips as the original raiser passed.

McKenzie moved all in and Hinrichsen quickly made the call to put two players at risk.

Silk: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
McKenzie: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Hinrichsen: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to see both Silk and McKenzie unable to improve and consequently find themselves on the rail as Hinrichsen soars to 68,000 in chips.

Gabriel Le Jossec

Speaking to tablemate Jarred Graham, we were provided details on the elimination of one-time chip leader Gabriel Le Jossec.

On a board of {A-}{10-Diamonds}{6-}{8-Diamonds}, Le Jossec fired out 5,000 only to have Kevin Park make it 15,000 to go. Le Jossec moved his last 30,000 into the pot and Park made the call.

Le Jossec: {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Park: {A-}{K-}

Unfortunately for Le Jossec, the river landed the {10-} to see him sent to the rail as Park becomes the first player to tip the six-figure club with 108,000 in chips.

Hinrichsen to Chip Lead

Andrew Hinrichsen
Andrew Hinrichsen

On a flop of {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, Andrew Hinrichsen was faced with a 5,000-chip bet from an opponent.

Hinrichsen bumped it up to 13,000 to force two folds, before the flop aggressor moved all in. Hinrichsen made the call and tabled his {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} to be in the lead against his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

The {Q-Diamonds} on the turn, followed by the {8-Spades} on the river, would both be good ones for Hinrichsen as he sent another player to the rail while moving to 118,600 in chips.
