On a board that read {9-Spades}

.

Lunardi tabled {k-Diamonds}

for two pair. "Two pair is good," said the opponent before he mucked his hand.

Lunardi moves up to 82,200 in chips.

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.

Kamyar Takes Control

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

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

.

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}

just to prove a point.

Ekrami is up to 64,000 after that hand.

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}

Neilson:

The flop of {4-Spades}

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!

First Prize Amended

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

There was an error with the prizes listed earlier (which was taken from the tournament clock display).

As it turns out, the calculator had worked out the prize pool at 100.8%. This has been adjusted, and the only change was that of first place, which is AUD $118,580.

We apologise for any confusion.
