Alexander Debus opened under the gun to 28,000 and Sam Higgs made the call from the big blind.

On a flop of {10-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{10-Spades} Higgs checked to Debus who fired out 28,000 with Higgs making the call. The turn landed the {8-Diamonds} and Higgs took control firing out 63,000 which Debus called.

When the river fell the {9-Diamonds} Higgs made it 100,000 and once Debus moved all in, Higgs reluctantly threw in his last 50,000 only to see Debus table {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for a flopped full house.

As Debus raked in the pot sending him to 670,000 in chips, Higgs headed to the rail in 7th place earning him a payday of AU$19,152.

Schwartz Shows some Aggression

Noah Schwartz limped the small blind before being met with a 22,000 raise from Alexander Debus out of the big blind. Schwartz called before both players checked the flop of {2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

The turn fell the {5-Diamonds} and Schwartz checked to Debus who fired out with 35,000 before getting check-raised by Schwartz to 90,000. Debus released his hand as Schwartz raked in the pot sending him to over 410,000 in chips.

Jonathan Dull moved all in from under the gun for his last 99,000 and with it folding around to the chip leader, Thomas Lindbjerg, he tanked for a few minutes before making the call.

Dull: {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Lindbjerg: {K-Spades}{9-Spades}

Having a slight lead going into the flop, Dull couldn't maintain it when the board fell {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Spades} to see Dull head to the rail in 6th place for AU$23,940 in prize money.

No Need to Worry

Nearly time for some sleep
Nearly time for some sleep
No need to worry . . . the PokerNews desk hasn't lost it's internet connection, the Crown Casino hasn't lost power, play is just really, really, really slow.

Since the change in levels almost 40 minutes ago, we have only seen two flops when both blinds checked the action down. We have seen one reraise preflop, otherwise the big blind is getting a walk or a single raise is taking the blinds and antes.

Battle between Chip Leaders

After a slow level we have finally had a bit of action to jolt some cheers from the rail.

Alexander Debus made it 44,000 from the small blind and with the action on Thomas Lindbjerg in the big blind, he reraised to a further 116,000. Debus asked for a count and then put in another raise to 244,000 this time, and was immediately met with an all in shove from Lindbjerg.

Debus shook his head and released his hand as he slipped down to 360,000 as Lindbjerg climped to 940,000 in chips.
