Laidlaw Loses Some
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
The hand started with the player under the gun opening to 800 before Daniel Laidlaw raised it up to 2,400 from the cut off. His opponent called, and both watched as the flop came down 
.
Both opted to check, before the 
fell on the turn. Laidlaw's opponent threw out a bet of 3,500 which he called, before both happily checked the 
on the river.
The other player in the hand then tabled his 
for a full house, which saw Laidlaw's cards fly into the muck.

Torres Hanging On
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Billy "The Croc" Argyros raised to 600 from the hijack and found callers in both blinds. The small blind is Victorino Torres who just happens to be a past champion from this event in Season 4. Of course Argyros, a member of the Australian Poker Hall of Fame and a winner APPT Melbourne last year is no slouch himself.
With three people to the [ 8h3c10s] flop, the action began with Torres checking. The player in the big blind bet 1,500 which was enough to get Argyros to fold. Torres made the call and the two blinds saw the turn. Both players checked and both checked again on the river. Torres turned over 
and his opponent mucked his hand.

Tan Spikes Double
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
The action started with Tai Tan opening to 1,200 from the cut off and getting called by the player in the small blind. Their opponent in the big blind then raised it up to 3,600. Tan then instantly moved all in for his last 15,400 which brought upon a snap fold from one player, and snap call from the other.
Tan: 
Opponent: 
Tan was in bad shape with his under pair, but that all changed when the board ran out 
to see him make a full house and double up to 40,000 in chips.
Yung Let's It Go
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
We arrived at the table as the player in the hijack opened to 1,250. Percy Yung made the call from the cut off, as did the player on the big blind.
The flop came down 
and the action checked around to Yung who threw out 2,600 in chips. Her opponent in the big blind didn't look too impressed, turning his head to the side and staring into the distance. He then appeared he would make the call with the bet in his hand before quickly reaching for more chips and throwing out a raise to 6,000. The other player in the hand got out of the way, and Yung made the call.
The 
fell on the turn, and this time Yung's opponent picked up several chips in one hand before reaching down with the other and threw in a bet of 14,000 in chips. Yung was not fazed by her opponent tricks, and sat motionless for a minute before asking him for a count.
After his chips were cut down by the dealer, Yung opted to muck her hand relinquishing the pot to her opponent.
