Juan Pablo Garcia Eliminated

We didn't get to see the action, but we did see that Vincent Van Der Fluit had tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} against Juan Pablo Garcia on a board of {q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}.

We also saw that Garcia's hand was mucked and that he was left with just 900 in chips.

We then saw that Garcia was eliminated on the very next hand.

Van Der Fluit is up to 133,000 in chips. That's nice to see.

Gruissen Crushed, But Not By Much!

The action folded around to Damon Lum who raised, only to see Gruissen Philipp reraise. It then went four-bet, five-bet shove, snap-call.

Lum: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Philipp: {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Both players hit on the board of {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}, but Philipp's two pair lost by a long way against Lum's set of aces.

The margin between chip stacks however, was far narrower.

Philipp was all in for 63,300. Lum had 63,500.

Ouch.

That's about as painful an elimination as you can get - well, except for the bubble hand of this year's Aussie Millions Main Event.

Philipp is busto; Lum is up to 134,000 in chips.

Bari Wins Flip Against Netter

Allen Bari managed to secure a double up of his own only moments later through Tyler Netter.

The action folded around to Netter who raised to 10,000 preflop, only to see Bari reraise all in for 36,000. Netter snap-called, turning up {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and found himself ahead of Bari's {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

Bari took the lead when the dealer spread the flop of {4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} to give him two pair, then improved to a full house when the turn and river ran out {3-Clubs}, {j-Spades}.

Bari doubled up to 75,000 while Netter took a big hit back to 68,000.

Johanssen Doubles Through Bari

The action folded around to Allen Bari who raised to 2,700 from the button before the flop. Mikel Johanssen reraised all in for 12,100, the big blind got out of the way and Bari snap-called.

Johanssen: {k-Diamonds}{k-?}
Bari: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The board was spread {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Johanssen doubled up to 29,000 while Bari slips to 36,000.

Only In Australia ...

Two Aussies were being transferred to another cash game table.

One looks up at the roof, then to his mate and says, "The tables aren't numbered, I don't know where I'm going!"

We could see how those bright red signs could be missed.

Ahmadi Doubles Up

The money was all in the middle preflop between Jeff Ahmadi and Oliver Speidel and we rushed over in time to see the showdown.

Ahmadi: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Speidel: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The flop was a sweat-inducing {9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, but the gutshot did not come as the turn and river ran out {9-Hearts}, {7-Spades} to see Ahmadi double up to 50,000 in chips.

Speidel is still sitting pretty on 203,000.

'LuckyChewy' Long Gone

Lichtenberger (during Main Event): eliminated
Lichtenberger (during Main Event): eliminated
Andrew 'LuckyChewy' Lichtenberger tangled in a massive pot against Tony 'bond18' Dunst.

We only just managed to catch a whole lotta chips being shipped over to Dunst after he spiked a set of aces on the river holding {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

There were no more chips were Lichtenberger was sitting, thus we can safely conclude that he was eliminated.

Dunst has soared up the chip counts, now on 161,600.
