Hinrichsen Heater
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Andrew Hinrichsen has had a massive change of luck this morning. The young player was down to 3,000 early but as we came back to break our PokerNews reporter noticed he was sitting behind a stack of almost 37,000.
According to players at the table, Hinrichsen was allin preflop with 
and had two callers, holding

. His Aces held and the Hinrichsen heater continues.
Montgomery Looking for Aussie Success
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Scott Montgomery may be best known for being part of the 2008 World Series of Poker, the inaugural "November Nine." But Montgomery has since proved that his appearance at that final table was not all luck, with a WSOP bracelet coming Montgomery's way at last years series in the $1,000 NLHE event.
The win added $481,760 to Montgomery's bankroll and increased his lifetime earnings to over $4,000,000. He will be looking to take that form into this years Aussie Millions in Melbourne, Australia.
Rubie Rattled
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Our PokerNews reporter came to the table just in time to see Brendon Rubie take a mistep.
The board read 
, with around 8,000 in the pot. At this stage Rubie pushed a stack of chips in, enough to put his opponents last 5,600 at risk.
Tanking, Rubie's opponent eventually made the call turning over 
for a rivered two pair. Rubie tabled 
, or as it's better known in this situation- Air!
Akenhead Survives Thrice
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
James Akenhead just had his tournament life on the line three times in just a few hands. But a stack which was once down to 375, is now up to a healthy 5,000.
The first time Akenhead found himself all-in preflop, it was for only a few blinds and he had to watch on as Eric Assadourian and two opponents battled out the hand. Akenhead holding 
and turning a 
, it would be enough to take down his share of the pot and increase his stack to 1,725.
The next hand Akenhead moved allin and picked up the blinds and antes.
"One double-up and you're back in it!", exclaimed Assadourian.
As if taking heed from these words, Akenhead was allin just a couple of hands later, picking up 
and doubling up through an opponent holding .
As they say, all you need is 375 and a chair!

Aces Everywhere; Cohen Not
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Hugh Cohen has been sent to the rail, running into the pocket-aces of not one opponent but two.
Facing a raise to 700, Cohen moved all-in for his remaining 2,300. One player moved his stack all-in and with another caller it would be two tournaments on the line.
Cohen's would have to go up against 
and the last remaing aces, 
. Cohen would be drawing thin and couldnt garner enough luck to survive the day.
Interestingly as our PokerNews reporter walked from Cohen's demise, the table next to Cohen's could be heard ranting about the hand they were currently involved in, vs .
Chopping a pot with aces has to be better than running kings into them!
Doria Done
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
An early position player made a raise to 600 and Stephen Lindeblad made the call. With the action on [Removed:415], he elected to move his last 2,350 into the pot. The initial raiser and Lindeblad made the call, with Lindeblad effectively all-in himself, leaving only 200 behind.
Flop: 
Not suprisingly Lindeblad would be allin on this flop. The players cards turned over with two more to come.
EP:
Lindeblad:
Doria: 
Doria and Lindeblad would need some help or they would both be sent home.
Turn:
Is one more heart coming?
River: 
Would we have asked if it wasnt?
Lindeblad's runner-runner heart was enough to keep him alive but send Doria home.

Tim English is rising up the chip counts when a typical raise, re-raise, "im all in!" pot went down.
English:

Board: 
Aces held up. One time!
English moved up to 26,000, while his opponent was left crippled. This very same opponent was seen on the rail just moments later. Not his day.
