Dunst Done

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Tony "Bond18" Dunst was just found standing on the rail, and consequently we approached him to detail us his elimination.

With the button limping in and Brendon Rubie completing from the small blind, Dunst checked his option with {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

On a {A-}{10-}{8-} flop that held two clubs, Rubie checked and Dunst led for 700. The button passed, but Rubie moved all in for roughly 7,000. Being covered, Dunst made the call for his tournament life only to be shown the {A-}{q-} of Rubie.

The turn of the {Q-} would end Dunst's tournament as Rubie moved to over 14,000 in chips.

Watt Chips Up

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Simon Watt
Simon Watt

Facing an all in for 2,175, JP Kelly made the call before Simon Watt moved all in from the blinds for 4,575. Kelly called the additional 2,400 to put two players at risk.

Watt: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Kelly: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
Opponent: {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out a rather anti-climatic {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} to see Watt collect both the main and side pots to return to over his starting stack as Kelly slipped to 6,300 in chips.

Obrestad Clips Pearson

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Annette Obrestad opened with a 600-chip min-raise from under the gun with only Matthew Pearson making the call from a few seats over.

Obrestad fired out 900 on the {7-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} flop with Pearson making the call as the {4-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Continuing for 2,300, Obrestad would find success with her turn-bet after Pearson deliberated for nearly two minutes before folding to slip to 12,800 as Obrestad climbs to over 16,000 in chips.
