Although devestated at hitting the rail, John Zindo can't be too dissapointed at collecting exactly double the cash he would have came in today expecting.
Starting the day with a monter chip deficit, Zindo put up a gallant effort to make some double-ups and see two of his fellow players bite the dust.
But nothing lasts forever and eventually Zindo's short stack caught up wih him.
Moving all-in from early position, Zindo managed two callerd in Alexander Debus from the cut off and Oliver Speidel in the big blind.
With two active players involved in the pot they decided to check it down to the river as it ran out .
When all was said and done Zindo turned over , not good enough for the that Debus ran up the river.
Zindo is sent home in 8th place, taking AUD$13,640 for his time. Not bad for the player who started the day with only a few big blinds.
With only 7,300 in chips at the break, Albert Minnullin was looking for some help and he's just found it through JP Kelly after managing to double up through him twice as the action continues at this $1,150 No Limit Hold'em w/Rebuys final table.
The action folded to Kelly who raised from the cutoff before Minnullin shoved from the button. Kelly called, tabling but was trailing Minullin's . The dealer spread the board of , giving both players two pair, but Minullin had Kelly outkicked and scooped the pot.
In the very next hand, the action folded to Kelly on the button who raised to 3,600 from the button with before Minullin shoved again from the small blind. Kelly called, but found himself behind once again after Minullin showed .
Again, both players made two pair on the but Minullin's eights were good enough to take down a pot worth more than 20,000.

There has been almost no action between the final seven players in this event, but we did finally manage to witness two full hands played out between Randy Dorfman and Oliver Speidel, then between Dorfman and JP Kelly.
The action folded to Speidel who raised to 3,500 from the cutoff and Dorfman called from the big blind before both players checked down the board. Speidel tabled for a small pair, but it was good to take the pot down against's Dorfman's .
Then the action picked up significantly in the next hand - Kelly came in with a raise to 3,600 from under the gun and it folded around to Dorfman who reraised from the big blind, making it 8,800 to go. Kelly called, so it was heads-up to the flop of .
Dorfman led out for 5,500 and Kelly called; the dealer produced the on the turn, which saw Dorfman fire a second shell worth 11,000. Kelly called again before both players checked the river of the .
Dorfman showed but Kelly showed and that can only mean one thing - a chopportunity!
Folded to Alexander Debus in the cut off he moved in a small pile of chips, sending a raise to 3,200 Albert Minnullin's way. Tanking for a small while, Minnullin eventually announced he was all-in. With the big blind out of the way Debus would make the call.
Debus:
Minnullin:
And they're off.
Flop:
And Minnullin takes the lead.
The turn and river bricked and Minnullin would win the race to double-up yet again this afternoon, and moves up to around 50,000.
The railbirds are beginning to lose interest and are constantly asking the PokerNews Live Reporting Crew for directions for Studio 3 to watch the $100,000 as the action continues to crawl painfully slow.
Having said that, Joey Lovelady fans will be happy to hear that he's just doubled through Oliver Speidel, while Albert Minullin has scored a sizeable pot off Randy Dorfman.
Earlier, Speidel raised from the button to 3,500 with before Lovelady reraised to 22,300 with . Speidel made him commit the rest of his chips, but Lovelady doubled through after hitting an eight on the board of .
In the very next hand, Minullin raised to 3,800 from the hijack position and Dorfman called from the big blind before both players checked the flop of .
Dorfman then led out for 4,500 on the turn of the and for another 11,500 on the river of the . Minullin called both streets and Dorfman quickly mucked, much to Minullin's surprise. "Do I have to show?" he asked the dealer.
"No, you don't have to," the dealer replied. Minullin threw away his hand and raked in his chips. Dorfman is still sitting on a mountain of chips though, worth more than 150,000.
