Counts From Table 19

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Harji Eliminated, Yogo Becomes the 2013 ANZ Player of the Year

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

The action started with Pravin Harji moving all in for his last 25,500 in chips before finally getting called by Jason Gray on the big blind.

Harji: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Gray: {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} to see Gray flop a king to win the hand. Harji’s elimination in 30th place means that he didn’t obtain enough points to surpass Iori Yogo on the ANZ POTY leader board.

Congratulations to Iori Yogo for finishing as this year’s ANZ Player of the Year!

Walker Doubles Then Takes Out Schneider

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Bradley Walker has had two memorable hands in quick succession.

In the first he moved all in for 73,500 on a {3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop holding {5-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and was called by Michael Fadersen who had {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}. He made his straight when the {4-Hearts} fell on the turn to double up to 170,000 in chips.

In the very next hand, Dean Schneider opened to 12,000 from the button before Walker shoved all in from the small blind. After some thought, Schneider made the call with his tournament life at risk.

Schneider: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Walker: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

This time the queens would hold as Walker watched the board run out {7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades} to rocket up to 290,000 in chips.

Dejan Doubles Through Naz

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Dejan Boskovic was recently all in preflop holding {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} against the {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} of Naz Sibaei. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{q-Spades} and with that, Boskovic had doubled up. Sibaei still has plenty of chips.

Yan Takes Another Big Hit

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

We have just watched [Removed:17] take another big hit to his stack. We arrived at the action with a {10-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} board out on the felt and with well over 100,000 in the middle. Yan had bet 110,000 and his opponent Ravindran Maravar moved all in for around 100,000 more. Yan looked almost reluctant to make the call, but nonetheless flicked out some chips.

At showdown Maravar tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for the nut flush and Yan gave his head a little shake as he sent his cards into the muck. It hasn't been a good day for Yan.

The Overwhelming Leader

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

The action started with Benjamin Pockett opening to 12,000 from under the gun. Joel Feldman made the call from the next position before the decision landed on Jonathan Karamalikis. He then raised it up to 39,000 from the button, as Pockett contemplated over his decision. He folded shortly after, before Feldman contemplated his. He finally opted to move all in for over 250,000 and was instantly snap called.

Feldman: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Karamalikis: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Karamalikis watched as the board ran out {4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} to see him move to over one million in chips, as Feldman was sent to the rail in 32nd place.

Giannopoulos Eliminates Two

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

In the first hand, both Pravin Harji and Jordan Westmorland committed all their chips on a flop reading {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Harji rolled over his {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} which had out-flopped Westmorland who tabled his {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. The board ran out the {7-Hearts}and {j-Clubs} and after a quick count of both stacks, it was determined that Westmorland was left with one 500-chip.

In the following hand, Westomorland was all in for an ante. The action then saw George Giannopoulos move all in for his last 44,500 from the hijack before Luke Brabin committed his last 30,000 from the button.

Westmorland: {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Giannopoulos: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Brabin: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Board: {5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Westmorland was fortunate enough to flop two pair to take the lead, but the nine on the river gave Giannopoulos the win with his set.

Westmorland would finish in 34th place with Brabin finishing in 33rd.
