From the small blind, Emad Moaref raised to 3,900. James Obst was in the big blind and reraised to 10,500. Moaref moved all in and Obst made the call.

Moaref was the at-risk player holding {Q-Hearts}

. Obst held {A-Diamonds}

and was in dominating position to send everyone home for the night.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}

and Obst added a pair of aces. The door wasn't shut on Moaref though, as he picked up a straight draw to broadway.

The turn card was the {Q-Diamonds}

and now Moaref could chop with a ten or win with another queen. But it wouldn't be in the cards for the shorter-stacked Moaref when the {9-Clubs}

peeled off on the river.

Obst's pair of aces were best and he sent Moaref home on the bubble to end the night. Obst finished with 194,600 chips.

Benson's Set Gets No Action

Gary Benson raised from under the gun and Shane Warne called in the big blind. The raise size was unknown.

The flop came down {Q-Spades}

and Warne checked. Benson fired 2,600 and Warne fodled.

"You're too smart!" yelled Benson to Warne, showing that he flopped a set of nines. It's too bad for him that Warne didn't have a hand he could've got paid from.

Benson is up to 49,000 and Warne down to 48,000.

The flop came {4-Hearts}

and Langmann lead out for 1,500. Karamalikis made it 4,600 and Langmann made it 13,000. Karamalikis then pushed all-in and the German called.

Langmann: {A-Hearts}

Karamalikis: {6-Clubs}

The turn was the {J-Spades}

and the river the {Q-Diamonds}

, the Australian ring-winner missed his straight draw and Langmann's two pair held.

We're now on the bubble.

Choppy Waters

Jonathan Karamalikis raised to 2,700 from the cutoff, Emad Moaref called on the button and Nicolas Fazollari called from the big blind.

It was checked to Karamalikis on the {7-Spades}

flop and he bet 5,000. Fazollari called and then called 9,000 on the {6-Hearts}

turn. Both players checked and both turned over {J-?}

for a chopped pot.
