Mckay Mauled
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
New South Welshman Ryan Mckay saw his last 10,025 enter the pot with the flop reading 
.
Mckay: 
Opponent: 
In great shape to double, the 
on the turn would be the dagger that cut the throat on Mckay's tournament life as the 
completed the board on the river to send Mckay crashing to the rail.
Akenhead At Risk
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
James Akenhead found himself in the small-blind with a chance to pick up some much needed chips after a limped pot would have five players see a flop.
Flop: 
Akenhead checked and the opponent to his left made it 450. One player made the call and two got out of the way before Akenhead announced he was all-in. The two players remaining would both put in 1,350 more and Akenhead's tournament was at risk.
On the turn a 
would entice one player to bet 1,500 while Akenhead watched on. The other remaining player got out of the way and the hole-cards would be turned over with one card to come.
Akenhead: 
Opponent: 
With a 
on the river, Akenhead dodged the Ace and survives with a much healthier 6,700.
Hinrichsen Halted by Ho
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Andrew Hinrichsen entered the pot from the hi-jack with a raise to 450, and was met with calls from three players; one of which was Maria Ho from the small blind.
With the 
flop being greeted by two checks from the blinds, Hinrichsen continued for 750 to prompt a fold from his opponent in the cutoff before Ho made it 1,850 to go. The big blind passed, and after a few moments of thinking, Hinrichsen moved all in for his last 7,250. Ho instantly made the call to put one of Australia's best all-round poker players at risk.
Hinrichsen: 
Ho: 
With Hinrichsen trailing and needing to complete his straight draw, the and 
on the turn and river would end his tournament prematurely as Ho collected the pot to move to 23,400 in chips.

Poker Vox Pop: Jonathan "xMONSTERxDONGx" Karamalikis
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Jonathan "xMONSTERxDONGx" Karamalikis opened under the gun to 525 and was called by two players; one of which was Dean Francis from the big blind.
Karamalikis continued for 750 on the 
flop which forced a fold from the first caller as Francis check-raised to 1,700.
Spending a few moments contemplating, Karamalikis opted for a three-bet to 4,200 to force Francis to kick his cards to the muck.
As Karamalikis collected the pot to move to 28,700, we at PokerNews thought it was no better time to take a few minutes with the Full Tilt Poker Red Pro.

Obrestad Doubles Bennett
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
It was folded to Annette Obrestad in late position, when she made a min-raise. Local player Paul Bennett decided now was his time to move his short stack allin. It would be 1,625 more to Obrestad and the Norwegian made the call.
Obrestad: 
Bennett: 
The board ran out 
and the Aussie would survive to see another hand.
It's back to square one for Obrestad, who now sits with just over the starting stack.
Nyberg's Sevens Suffer
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Dean Nyberg can't catch a break over on table 33.
With a flop reading 
, there was action flying everywhere. Nyberg would have two players all-in beofre the action would subside.
Nyberg: 
Opponent one: 
Opponent two: 
Nyberg was in good shape to build a massive stack. Can you guess what happened next?
If you said that a 
was going to come on the turn then you have some pretty special psychic abilities and should probably be playing in this very tournament, not reading the live updates.
It was the river that held the typical dream-crushing and left Nyberg shattered with only 3,800 remaining.
