New Chip Leader

When the flop came {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} Danny Huynh was excited to get all of his chips in the middle holding {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. However he wasn't so thrilled when his opponent flipped over {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} for top set.

The {6-Hearts} on the turn didn't change things and Huynh was left drawing to a club. Fortunately for him, the river brings the {4-Clubs} and Huynh takes down a monster pot worth 60,000 chips to assume the tournament chip lead.

Glenn Stewart, a popular Australian Rugby League player for the Manly Sea-Eagles, found himself all in pre-flop and needing help against Colin Ford.

Stewart: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Ford: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board came {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{K-Spades} and Ford took down the pot with his set of tens, sending Stewart to the rail.

On table eight, Brooks Bingman raised it up to 675 before the flop and found himself two callers. The action folded to Isabelle Mercier who raised over the top for all of her remaining 4,000 chips. Bigman makes the call and the others fold.

Mercier: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Bigman: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The flop came {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and the turn of {Q-Diamonds} gave Mercier some more hope when she picked up a flush draw. However the {5-Hearts} on the river ended Mercier's tournament to the disappointment of many fans.

Hachem Chops It Up

Joe Hachem limped into the pot and a short-stacked Vinh Truong raised it up to 2,000 before the flop. Hachem thinks for a moment before announcing that he is all in. Hachem has him covered, but Truong makes the call. Amazingly both players have pocket threes and they split the pot!

Michael Dunworth Eliminated
Michael Dunworth was crippled in a pot against Lily Bui. The action was fierce on every street with Bui's {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} out-kicking the {A-Hearts}{6-Spades} of Dunworth in a 15,000 chip pot.

This hand left Dunworth with only enough to pay for his ante in the very next hand. He picked up {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} but couldn't pair up against his opponent's pocket fours and has been eliminated.
