Field Extends Lead

Michael Zowie came in raising from the button to 7,000 and Josh Field made the call in the small blind. The action was then with Michael Binger who declared "Raise the pot!" Zowie folded but Field deliberated before making the call.

The flop was {6-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Field led out with a pot-sized bet. Binger quickly folded and Field takes down a nice pot.

With that pot, Field is up to over 220,000 chips.

Zowie All In, but Binger Folds

Michael Binger limped from the small blind before Michael Zowie raised an additional 5,000 from the big blind. Binger tossed out a yellow chip to make the call.

The flop was {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-Spades} and both players checked. The turn brought the {9-Clubs} and Binger led for 12,000. Zowie made the call.

The river landed the {2-Diamonds} and Binger checked to Zowie who moved all in for about 26,000. Binger sighed and tossed his cards into the muck as Zowie stays alive.

Binger: {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Binger Captures Huge Pot

Josh Field raised to 8,000 on the button and Michael Binger called in the small blind before Michael Zowie added another 24,000 from the big blind. Both opponents called and they saw a flop of {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

With 96,000 in the pot up for grabs, the play checked around. The turn was the {9-Clubs} and again it was checked around.

The river was the {K-Spades} and Binger tossed out a small bet of 20,000 but it was enough as both opponents folded.

Binger grabs a huge pot as Zowie is left with only 10,000 in chips.

Michael Zowie Eliminated in 3rd Place (AU$61,290)

Michael Zowiew raised all in for his last 12,000 from the button and both Josh Field and Michael Binger made the call in the blinds.

The action was checked until the river on a {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board between both live players until Binger tossed out 10,000 on the river to force a fold from Field.

Binger tabled {2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for trip sixes which Zowie couldn't better and after a marathon effort, he becomes our third place finisher and collects AU$61,920 for his time.
