Another Thomson Double

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Stephen Thomson has just doubled up through Dean Blatt. Thomson moved all in for 33,000 from under the gun. Dean Blatt called out of the big blind and Thomson was at risk with {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} against Blatt's {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. The board ran out {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and the pot went to Thomson. He's still one of short stacks, but has a bit more breathing room. Blatt is back down to just over 100,000.

Boag Left For Dead

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Carl Boag has been left extremely short stacked.

He moved all in for 49,500 and Matt Wall called from the big blind, putting himself all in.

Boag had {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} against Wall’s {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and Wall had made a straight to leave Boag on life support.

Ace-High Good For Razmi

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Mehrdad Razmi opened to 12,000 from middle position and was called by Thomas Ward in the cut off.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Razmi threw out a continuation bet worth 13,000 which was called.

Razmi didn’t slow down, betting another 21,000 when the {k-Diamonds} dropped on the turn. Ward quickly called as both players watched the {7-Clubs} complete the board. Razmi moved all in for 55,000 and after a minute was called.

He reluctantly turned over his {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for ace-high and was surprised when Ward mucked his hand.

“Queen-high?” questioned Razmi.

“Had an ace but my kicker was no good,” replied Ward.

Peak Count for Blatt

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

"Peak chip count," Dean Blatt said with a fist pump as he just doubled up.

He had shoved the button for 76,000 from the button. Terangi Matenga called from the big blind.

Blatt had {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and was up against Metenga's {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

The {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} gave both players a piece but kept Blatt in front.

The {k-Diamonds} turn and {10-Clubs} river were safe for Blatt and so he scooped the double.

David Evans Eliminated in 16th Place (NZ$6,300)

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

David Evans moved all in for his last 34,000 from under the gun plus one. The action folded around to William Rogers in the small blind who moved all in over the top. Ryan Shiffman folded his big blind and the two players tabled their cards.

Evans: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Rogers: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades} to see Rogers take down the pot with the superior kicker.

Zoran Farac Eliminated in 17th Place (NZ$6,300)

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Another elimination!

This time it was Zoran Farac who hit the rail.

He jammed for 65,000 on a {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop. He was in the big blind position and his lone opponent, Michael Guzzardi, called it off from the under-the-gun position. Farac had {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a pair of eights, while Guzzardi had {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for top pair.

The {7-Clubs} turn and {q-Hearts} river were of no help to Farac and so he hit the rail.

Matt Carter Eliminated in 18th Place (NZ$6,300)

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The action folded around to Thomas Peet in the small blind who moved all in for around 100,000 in chips. Matt Carter was in the big blind and committed his remaining 30,000 into the middle.

Peet: {k-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Carter: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-Clubs} to see Peet win the hand with a pair of kings sending Carter to the rail to collect his prize money.
