Last Ladies

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Just as our update on Nielson got sent flying into the blogosphere, he again was involved in some excitement, with the outcome a little different this time.

Nielson found himself all-in preflop against big stack Melanie Wohlers.

Wohlers: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Nielson: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Nielson was busto. Wohlers moves to over 420,000. Wohlers is one of two woman standing, with local player Lauren McIver still in contention.

Saliba Saved

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

A short stacked Alfred Saliba has doubled twice in as many hands after an allin battle in the blinds, holding up with {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} against {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

A few hands later Saliba woke up with {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and caught the {q-Clubs} in the window, managing to again double, this time through Costas Argirou.

Putt Ponders Demise

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante
Graeme Putt on day 1c
Graeme Putt on day 1c

Our PokerNews Reporter arrived at Graeme "KiwiG" Putt's table just in time to see a bust out!

The flop read {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and the action was checked to Putt. Putt made it 25,000 to see a turn and his opponent, chip leader Isaac Lau, made the call.

With the turn came the {7-Hearts} and the action checked to Putt again, who decided to move all-in. Lau snap called and turned over {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Putt's {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} would need help that would never come.

Montgomery Moving

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Scott Montgomery has just kept his Aussie Millions gold ring hopes alive, catching good when all-in preflop against Toan Nguyen. Montgomery held {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, having to wait until the river to hit the {j-Hearts}.

With the aforementioned sweat over, Montgomery sat behind a 175,000 stack but quickly moved it into the middle just a few hands later, this time against Tolly Sakellariou. Montgomery held a dominated {5-}{5-}, against Sakellariou's {q-}{q-}.

It would be all but over for Montgomery, lest a five come.

The turn card secured the pot for Montgomery, trumping Sakellariou's queens. Montgomery moves to 340,000.
