Top-Top for Kozlov

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Facing a raise to 5,000, Martin Kozlov three-bet from late position to 15,700 and was met with a near-insta call from the preflop aggressor.

The {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{A-Hearts} flop was greeted by a 10,800-chip continuation bet from Kozlov to force a quick check-fold from his opponent.

The ANZPT Melbourne Champion is now up to roughly 79,000 after collecting the pot while flashing his {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

Aces for Pickering

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Jamie Pickering held two opponents all in preflop with the himself in the best shape of soaring close to the six-figure mark.

Pickering: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop of {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} gave both all in opponent's outs to remain alive, but when the {Q-Clubs} and {5-Spades} fell on the turn and river, Pickering happily collected the pot to move to 93,000 in chips.

The Croc Crunched

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Billy "The Croc" Argyros
Billy "The Croc" Argyros

In a multi-way raised pot, Billy "The Croc" Argyros check-raised his last 31,200 all in over a 6,000-chip bet on a {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop.

Once the initial preflop raiser passed, the flop aggressor instantly made the call slamming down his {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to be in the lead against Argyros' {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

Still with outs, Argyros would fail to find any of them as the turn and river landed the {Q-Diamonds} and {K-Clubs} to find the Full Tilt Poker Red Pro on the rail.

Benson Fills Up Against Flush

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Gary Benson
Gary Benson

In a limped pot, four players saw a {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop fall with the initial limper firing out 8,000.

Billy "The Croc" Argyros folded from the cutoff before Gary Benson check-raised all in from the small blind for his last 16,400. The big blind passed, but the flop aggressor made the call to put Benson at risk.

Benson: {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The {3-Clubs} on the turn saw Benson give up the lead, but when the {K-Diamonds} landed on the river, he happily scooped the double to send him to over 40,000 in chips.

Krost Clipped Then Eliminated

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 100 ante
Tyron Krost
Tyron Krost

Martin Kozlov opened with a raise under the gun only to have Tyron Krost move all in. Kozlov made the call for his tournament life tabling {9-}{9-} to be in a race against Krost's {A-}{K-}.

Fortunately for Kozlov, the board blanked out and he managed to find a double while also crippling Krost.

The following hand, Krost pushed holding {J-}{10-} and it would be Kozlov from the big blind finding {K-}{K-} to put the Aussie Millions Champion at risk.

Yet again, Krost failed to improve once the board was spread as he was forced to hit the rail while Kozlov climbed to just under 60,000 in chips.

Dodds Dusted by Marotta Blunder

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 100 ante
Joel Dodds all in
Joel Dodds all in

Joel Dodds pushed his last 12,600 into the pot from early position as the action folded round to Nino Marotta on the button.

Not realizing that Dodds had moved all in, Marotta tossed in 3,500. Made aware of the action before him, Marotta opted to make up the additional 9,100 as the blinds folded.

Dodds: {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Marotta: {A-Spades}{4-Spades}

In a race, Dodds unfortunately saw the {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} provide some cruel justice on the river as Marotta made a pair to send Dodds to the rail and Marotta to over 75,000 in chips.
