Rosenkrantz is Lethal

We're not sure exactly how he got the chips, but Jay Rosenkrantz is currently our chip leader with close to 70,000 chips. When we wandered past his table and asked him about it, he replied that he was simply "running like God".

Skill and luck is a lethal combination!

Bruno Portaro Eliminated

On a board showing {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, a player in early position made it 800 to go. Bruno Portaro made the call from the button, sending the action heads-up to the turn -- {10-Hearts}.

Here, the early position player led out with a 1,600 bet and Portaro kicked it up to 4,600. Portaro's opponent stuck around to see the river come {6-Diamonds}, and checked on the end.

Portaro then moved all in for about 7,000 and his opponent quickly made the call, tabling {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the stone cold nuts. Portaro showed a straight, {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, before returning his cards to the dealer and exiting the tournament area.

Deep in the Tank

On a {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, Stewart Scott bet 2,600, sending Tim Marsters in the tank for about a minute before saying, " I can beat aces."

He then tanks for another minute saying to the table, "Sorry guys, so gross."

He was in the tank for another three minutes before another player at the table called time. Marsters folded and is down to 10,000.

Obrestad in the Tank

From under the gun, Michael Thorpe made a blind raise of 400. In the cut off, Annette Obrestad made it 1,050. Thorpe made the call and they were on to the flop.

Flop: {2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Thorpe checked the flop and Obrestad made it 1,800. Thorpe then went all in and Obrestad went into the tank for about three minutes.

"Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?" Obrestad said to her opponent who had been one of the talkative ones at the table today. She then apologized to the table for taking so long.

Obrestad finally made the call and tabled {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. Thorpe showed {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

The {7-Hearts} fell on the turn and a {Q-Diamonds} appeared on the river. Obrestad is up to 56,000.

Pedley's Monster Flop Doesn't Deliver

Michael Pedley has been crippled after a huge action flop of {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{Q-Spades} saw the chips fly into the middle.

Pedley tabled a monster {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for top pair and flush draw, but his opponent showed {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for top two pair.

The turn was the {J-Diamonds} to give Pedley even more outs, but the {10-Clubs} was the river to give his opponent a full house. Pedley is left with just 2,500 in chips.

Diamonds Everywhere

Catching the action on a flop of {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, action checked to Australian Poker Hall of Fame "Legend" Jeff Lisandro who fired 500 from the hijack position. The small blind then check-raised to 2,000 with Lisandro making the call.

The turn was a third diamond and the small blind checked to Lisandro who tossed out 4,000. His opponent made the call and the river was the {3-Diamonds}. The small blind led out with a bet of 6,500 to the disgust of Lisandro.

"Ok, you rivered me..." sighed Lisandro before making a crying call with {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. His opponent mucked and Lisandro now finds himself with 31,000 chips.
