Shuffle Up and Deal!

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The cards are in the air! There are just over nine minutes left in this level before the blinds go up, but we should note that everybody is here except for Leo Boxell. At least Wally the Wombat is guarding Boxell's chips!

A Slow Start

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

There's been very little action, but that comes as no surprise given that we're playing nine minutes of a blind level.

The only hand we've managed to see was one between Adam Stoneham and Ben Delaney on the flop of {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}; Stoneham check-called after Delaney's bet of 6,500 before both players checked on the turn of the {k-Spades}.

Stoneham then led out for 9,000 on the river of the {3-Spades}; Delaney quickly folded and Stoneham took down the pot. Still no sign of Leo Boxell though!

Reijmers and Boxell Double Up

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We're still at 18 players after Daniel Reijmers and Leo Boxell doubled up in recent action in this $2,200 No Limit Hold'em Six Handed event.

Earlier, Reijmers and Tony Dunst got all their money into the middle on a flop of {2-}{2-}{8-}; Dunst had Reijmers covered, but Dunst's {J-}{J-} were in trouble against Reijmer's {Q-}{Q-}. The turn and river bricked out {8-}, {6-} and Dunst was left with just 80,000.

Then, Leo Boxell arrived just in time to double up through Toby Lewis. All the money was in the middle before the flop and we arrived to see the cards being tabled:

Lewis: {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Boxell: {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Both players paired up on the flop of {J-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, but Boxell stayed ahead after the dealer produced the turn and river of {6-Spades}, {4-Clubs}. Boxell is now up to over 80,000 in chips.

Chevalier Eliminated, Sbrzesny Doubles

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Bodo Sbrzesny managed to score a double-up against Ben Vinson, but Danny Chevalier was eliminated by Daniel Reijmers, who is now holding more than 270,000 in chips.

As Tony Dunst recalled to us, there was heavy betting action between Chevalier and Daniel Reijmers before and after the flop of {8-}{4-}{2-} (one spade) before all the money ended up in the middle on the turn of the {9-Spades}. Chevalier had hit a pair with his {k-}{8-}, but Reijmers' {7-Spades}{6-Spades} hit the {k-Spades} on the river to flush Chevalier out in 18th place (AUD $5,400).

Moments later, the cry of "All in and call" went up from table 10, where we saw Sbrzesny in great shape to double up with {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} against Vinson's {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Neither hand improved on the board of {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Sbrzesney is now up to over 100,000 in chips.

Ellis and Lewis Eliminated

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

The field has now been reduced to 15 players after the eliminations of Toby Lewis and Ray Ellis.

Lewis was first crippled by Ben Delaney after attempting to fire three barrels at him on all streets across the board of {3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs} before shoving on the river. Delaney called, his {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, ahead of Lewis' {K-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Down to just 30,000 in chips, Delaney open-shoved from the button with {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, but Andrew Jeffreys woke up in the blinds with {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, which improved to two pair on the board of {2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, sending Lewis to the rail in 17th place (AUD $5,400).

He was soon joined by Ray Ellis, who had moved the last of his short stack into the middle before the flop with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, but ran into Josh Tekesky's {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and was busted in 16th place (AUD $5,400), which held all the way down the board of {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.
