Grant Levy opened with a raise to 300 and the big blind defended while drawing two as Levy drew one.
With Crown Casino rules stipulating that the blind acts second after the initial raiser, Levy checked and the big blind bet out 150. Levy called as both players drew one before Levy led for 300 with his opponent calling.
Levy opted to stand pat as his opponent drew one more card before folding to Levy's 300-chip bet on the final draw.
"Nuts?" asked Graeme Putt.
Levy tabled his and collected the small, but stack-building pot.
Leo Boxell limped the button only to have Matthew Pearson bump it to 525 from the small blind to force a fold from Boxell.
"You gotta put that hand in the coverage! First hand he's won!" stated Oliver Gill as Pearson collected the pot to move to 6,800.
On the following hand, Pearson opened the button to 400 and found a caller on the small blind before Morton dropped 6,150 into the pot from the big blind - leaving himself just 500.
Pearson instantly followed suit by committing his 6,800 as the small blind went into the tank.
"I might pass, it's still an option." stated Morton as the small blind asked for a count on what remained in Morton's stack.
Showing him his last 500, Morton added, "I guess I might risk it all this hand!"
The small blind folded as Morton was put at risk.
Morton:
Pearson:
With Morton calling for no clubs and no diamonds, Pearson took a different approach and belowed for clubs.
The final board of saw both players chop up the small blind's 400.
We just witnessed Tim "TurnRiva" Marsters exiting the tournament, and consequently we approached his table to see if we could drum up some details on his elimination.
Noticing Sean Dunwoodie had over 23,000 in his stack, we assumed that he was Marsters' murderer and went to him for the potentially gruesome details of his demise.
Trung Tran opened the cutoff to 300 and Dunwoodie made the call before Marsters bumped it to 1,300. Tran folded but Dunwoodie made the call before a series of bets and raises on the rainbow flop saw Marsters all in.
Dunwoodie:
Marsters: (X)
Straight away on the turn, the would spike to end Marsters tournament as a blank fell on the river.
Harry Demetriou and Peter Aristidou limped in before Joseph Serock upped it to 725 from the button.
Jarred Solomon made the call from the small blind, as did Demetriou and Aristidou to see a flop that featured two spades.
Serok continued for 2,400 and Demetriou potted all-in to force folds from Aristdou and Solomon before Serok committed roughly his entire 7,900-chip stack.
Serok: (with two spades)
Demetriou:
With Serok needing to see a jack or nine repeat to stay alive, the on the turn would render his tournament over as the landed on the river.
Peter Aristidou limped in from under the gun as both blinds completed and checked their options - one of which was Harry Demetriou from the big.
The flop was checked through to see the on the turn and Demetriou push out 400 with Aristidou making the call.
