Cash Coming

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

The 90 remaining players are all going to walk away with cash for their time, with $2020 the guarenteed prize. We can expect the players to start falling fast as the the action heats up!

Bubble Boy

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

The bubble has burst! John Corr was the man sent home just shy of the money. Although surely shattered by the loss, Crown Casino has generously given Corr a double gold pass to the Australian Open tennis as a consolation prize!

Harris' Has Hand

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

The play was folded to the hi-jack, who made it 13,500. Troy Harris made it 30,000 on the button and the blinds got out of the way.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} and with it two checks.

Turn: {2-Spades}

The hi-jack player led for 20,000 and Harris moved all-in for 60,000 more. Call and one card to come.

Harris: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
H-J: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The {10-Spades} on the river meant Harris took down the pot and moves up to just over 180,000.

After the hand , one of the blinds said he folded {k-}{k-}, apparently suggesting that Harris could only have aces leaving himself that much behind. Poker players never lie so take it as gospel.

Segal Sent Sailing

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Mark Segal on day 1b
Mark Segal on day 1b

Mark Segal is no longer with us, as he moved his short stack all-in from the cut-off holding {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. His opponent in the big blind held {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and would send Segal home when the board bricked.

Hinrichsen Home; Dawley Doubtful

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Andrew Hinrichsen is out, while Jessica Dawley is now short-stacked after either a read-gone-wrong or a little bit of a brain snap.

Hinrichsen moved all-in for his remaining 21,400 from under the gun +1, Dawley smooth called from the button and the small blind player also would see a flop. Hinrichsen at risk, with Dawley and one opponent to play out the hand.

Flop: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{4-Hearts}

The small blind player led out for 25,00, at which point Dawley moved all-in, having her opponent covered. A call and two players were at risk.

Hinrichsen: {8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Dawley: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
SB: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The turn and river brought no help for Hinrichsen and Dawley, with Hinrichsen sent home and Dawley left short with 25,000.

Snap Call?

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Nikolaos Konstandellos put in alot of his chips when this hand played out.

The under the gun player limped and a middle position player made the call. Play then on Konstandellos on the button, he raised to 27,000. Under the gun folds and the middle position player then moves allin for around 99,000. Konstandellos snap-calls quicker then you can say Konstandellos.

Konstandellos: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
MP: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Board: {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}

The eight on the turn giving Konstandellos the straight.

Talking about the hand after, David Morton was sitting to Konstandellos' left, whereby with a smile, gestured to Konstandellos, "Snap call!? I mean i guess, when you've got the goods, you've got the goods!"
