Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!

The Aussie contingent is busy out on the tables.

Nik Lackovic moved his shortened stack of 4,700 chips into the middle on a flop of {4-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {2-Spades} after his lone opponent opened for 1,500. He induced a fold, and chipped up to about 7,500.

One table over, Michael Pedley was involved in a hand. On a board of {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {K-Clubs}, his opponent peeked back at his cards. "How many clubs do you have?" Pedley asked.

"He only needs one now, said tablemate Liz Lieu when the {A-Clubs} hit the turn. Both players checked. Pedley's opponent made a large bet when the {4-Clubs} hit the river to make a board flush, but Pedley wasn't fooled. He folded {K-Spades} {4-Spades}.

"Does two pair beat a flush in Australia?" Lieu asked. Pedley, still sitting behind 15,200 in chips, answered in the negative.
