Andrew Davis Survives With a Lucky Escape

With the pot containing 4,000 and the flop showing {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}, local Sydney player Andrew Davis decided to make his move and pushed all in for 20,000. Mark Alati made the call and was delighted when Davis tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}; Alati was dominating with {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

The turn was a disaster for Alati when the {8-Hearts} arrived, giving Davis a set of eights. The river was a blank ({K-Spades}) and Alati was left with just a few thousand in chips after the hand.

Saab Eliminated, Chan Wins Monster Pot

David Saab
David Saab
On a board of {2-Spades}{A-Spades}{10-Diamonds} David Saab re-raised enough to put his opponent all-in however he wasn't expecting Terence Chan to then come over the top of both players to put Saab to a decision for the remainder of his chips. Saab went into the tank for several minutes and eventually made the call for his tournament life on a draw with {J-Spades}{9-Spades}. The original raiser showed {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a set however Chan flipped {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} for top set in the massive 60,000 chip pot. The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Saab was praying for a spade, however the {K-Hearts} on the river brought the end for two players, while Terence Chan is now sitting pretty on 75,000 chips.

Grant Levy Looking Ominous

Grant Levy has just won a huge pot. Levy made it 2,200 pre-flop and was raised by an opponent to 5,000. Levy then re-raised to 22,000 and the other player went all-in for 30,000. Levy made the call and turned over {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} to his opponents disgust. His {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} was dominated and the flop was {10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}. The turn was the {Q-Clubs} giving the opponent more outs, but the {9-Spades} was no help and Grant Levy was over 90,000 in chips.

Marcello Bo Survives Split Pot

The raising rule is creating some confusion, and this hand was a prime example. Terrence Chan raised to 1,200 pre-flop and Marcello Bo put in two 1,000 chips to make the call. This was deemed a raise and Bo put in the remaining 400. Chan saw this as an opportunity and went all-in putting Bo to a decision for all his chips. He made the call and turned over {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} to Chan's delight after he showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. The flop was {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Bo was in trouble, but a {3-Hearts} on the turn and {K-Diamonds} on the river gave Bo a lifeline with a split pot.

Double All-in, One Elimination

With Johnathon Gamerov already all-in preflop, Derek Dodge was also forced to play for all of his chips on a flop of {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. His opponent flipped {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} to which Derek gleefully showed {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, with Gamerov a long way behind with his {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The turn brought the {Q-Diamonds} and the river {2-Hearts}, sending Gamerov home and putting Dodge back above the average with around 36,000 chips.
