Two Wins For Saab

David Saab moves into the third round after a straight sets win over Harry Kaczka.

Saab will face the winner of Darren Woods and Gary Retallick.

Woods Up One

It took a lot for Gary Retallick to go behind one. After being down to 150 on the second hand of the match, he fought his way back to 3,000 in chips.

He then got it all in with {k-?}{6-?} against {6-?}{6-?} looking to take the lead. He got the card he was looking for a {k-?} spiking the flop.

After the turn blanked, Woods would be re-drawing to just the case {6-?}.

He shipped the one outter on the river, much to the delight of the crowd who roared in appreciation.

Gary Retallick trails 1-0 and the winner will meet David Saab in the third round.

Brian Roberts Advances

Brian Roberts may have done it easy against Tino Lechich in the second round, but his third round match against Harold Olson proved a fair bit more of a challenge.

Roberts had to overcome going behind 1-0, to take the match 2-1.

His winning hand saw all the money go in on a flop of {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} with Olson holding {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for two pair against Roberts' {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flush draw.

The {A-Hearts} hit the turn putting Roberts in front, and the {6-Spades} bricked the river, making Roberts the first man to cash from today's flight, and sending him into the quarter-finals tomorrow.

Prizepool Information

All quarter-finalists (anyone that plays tomorrow) will make at least $15,625 AUD.

Updating

We got three games in progress at the moment.

Darren Woods leads Gary Retallick 1-0. They are pretty even in the second rubber.

Florian Langmann and Ron Beggs are still going at 1-1. Langmann now has a pretty imposing chip lead. There should not be long left in that game.

Dani Stern and Andrew Seidman is on as well. Seidman told us, it's 1-0 over there. He also told us that "Dani called me down with Queen high. In game points i'm ahead 1-0, but in life points, i'm down like 10,000".

We'll leave it to BalugaWhale to sign us off on that note.

Round One of Who Gets Dealt the Best Cards Goes to Me

Andrew Seidman is a walking and talking colour piece. His making plenty of wise cracks to keep things interesting.

He recently doubled back again Dani Stern with {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} against Stern's {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, after turning an an {8-Spades}.

"Round one of who gets dealt the best cards goes to me," said Seidman.

"But I had the best cards preflop," said Stern.

"It's not about preflop, it's about the whole thing," said Seidman. "Therefore I win".

Again we'll leave it with BalugaWhale.

The Whale is on Fire

His mouth may be scoring plenty of points, but his unique play of late and a bit of luck is getting it done of late too.

Andrew Seidman recently shipped it in with {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} against Dani Stern's {Q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

The {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, left Seidman calling, "T ball, T ball". He got the ten he was looking for, on the turn {10-Clubs}. The {8-Clubs} blanked off the river.

"I'm running so hot," said Stern. He still trails by a little way against Stern, but is 1-0 up for the match.

When It Rains, It Pours

Two long running matches have just ended.

Andrew Seidman ended Dani Stern's run with a 2-0 victory after a bit of fortune went his way in the second rubber.

Seidman is in the money and will return tomorrow with Brian Roberts.

Florian Langmann finally claimed the scalp of Ron Beggs in a drawn out clash. Langmann won 2-1 and now is up against Kyle McMurphy in the third round. The winner of that advances to tomorrow.

Gary Retallick and Darren Woods are still playing. Woods leads the match 1-0 and the winner meets David Saab in the third round tonight.

Update

Let's play guess the score in the Gary Retallick and Darren Woods match? If you guessed 1-0 Woods, you are correct. Not much has changed.

They are taking a ten minute spell. David Saab is restlessly awaiting his match, looking forward to a night out on the town.

Florian Langmann and Kyle McMurphy are currently underway.
