Mirzikinian Eliminated

We've just seen Warwick Mirzikinian hit the rail. We weren't able to catch the details, but that leaves us with 47 players in this tournament.

All names and chip counts should be updated shortly.

48 Players Left

With 48 players remaining in the tournament (or eight tables of six for those of you keeping score at home), the action has slowed down but Daniel Neilson did find himself at risk against Javier Dosuna with all the money in the middle preflop.

That is until the cards were revealed:

Dosuna: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Neilson: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop of {4-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts} caught the table's attention, but they soon settled back down after the {9-Diamonds} fell on the turn. The river {5-Hearts} completed the board - chop it!

Kamyar Takes Control

Kamyar Ekrami raised to 2,000 before the flop and found one caller to go heads-up to a flop that read {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.

Ekrami led out for 2,500, the opponent checked and then both players checked the turn of the {3-Hearts}.

Ekrami checked to the opponent who fired out 3,900. Ekrami called, causing the opponent to insta-muck his hand. Ekrami thought about just scooping the pot, but ended up showing his {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} just to prove a point.

Ekrami is up to 64,000 after that hand.

Clark Continues His Charge

The money was all in on a flop that read {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} between Kyle Clark and another opponent and we got there as the cards were tabled:

Clark: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The turn and river ran out {9-Diamonds}, {j-Spades}, sending the opponent to the rail and Clark up to 65,000 in chips.

Should Have Noticed Dosuna

The green 25 denomination chips have been raced off every table, however Javier Dosuna had two of them still sitting on top of his stack.

As the rules state, once a denomination is raced out of play, any extra chips left behind are removed. However Dosuna doesn't look fazed, as he's sitting on a stack in excess of 110,000.

Bada Bing, Bada Boom

On a board that read {9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, an opponent in early position check-called Kristian Lunardi's bet of 900, then check-called Lunardi's bet of 2,800 on the river {5-Diamonds}.

Lunardi tabled {k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for two pair. "Two pair is good," said the opponent before he mucked his hand.

Lunardi moves up to 82,200 in chips.

Lewis Eliminated

Toby Lewis has just been eliminated at the hands of Michael Spilkin moments before the break.

On a board that read {4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{j-Spades}, Spilkin moved all in on the river from the big blind position and Lewis snap-called - only to muck when Spilkin turned up {q-Spades}{3-Spades} for a pair of threes!

Left with only 500 in chips, Lewis threw it all in on the next hand with {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, only to run into Spilkin's {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

The board improved neither hand, eliminating Lewis and sending Spilkin's stack up to 77,500 in chips.
