Though the aspiring poker professionals are crammed around the rail near the feature table to check out the big names like Jeff Lisandro, Gus Hansen, Chris Ferguson and David Steicke as they battle it out in the $100,000 Challenge, directly behind them on the second feature table, the final preparations are being made for the final table of Event #7: $1,150 No Limit Hold'em w/Rebuys.
There's no shortage of big names over on this side, albeit they may not be as well known as those who feature on those eight-foot high posters around the Crown Poker Room. England's JP Kelly is perhaps the most well-known player at this final table, with a stellar poker CV (including a runner-up finish in last year's GBP £1,000 WSOP Europe event), but we can't forget about Australia's Andrew Scarf, who has had some great results during Season 2 of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour (ANZPT) and as such finished third in the Player of the Year race.

Where's The Action?
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
It took almost 15 minutes to see our first contested pot on the day between Joey Lovelady and Oliver Speidel.
Lovelady raised to 1,800 from middle position and the action folded around to Speidel who called from the big blind before check-calling Lovelady's bet of 2,700 on the flop of

Both players then elected to check down the turn of the 
and the river 
. Speidel showed 
but was no good against the 
of Lovelady. How excitement!
Savior For Zindo
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
John Zindo was always going to have to put his pittifully small stack on the line early this afternoon, and what better time than from under the gun, right before he would be forced to put in a blind.
Zindo open-shoved for his 4,700 and when play came to Randy Dorfman he slid in a stack of grey 1,000 denomination chips, enough for a big raise and to scare the rest of the players out of the pot.
Zindo: 
Dorfman: 
It was bleak days indeed for Zindo and when the flop turned over 
the bleakness continued.
Zindo would need a five or some runner-runner luck on his side.
The turn was the saviour card, flipping over the 
. A safe river card and it was a double-up for Zindo.
Zindo still only has around 10,000 though so stay tuned for some more all-in carnage.
Jeff Chu Eliminated in 10th Place (AUD$6,820)
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
It could have been a safe option to have bet on John Zindo to have busted out first, but incredibly, it was Jeff Chu who was the first to depart this final table, having just been eliminated by Randy Dorfman.
The action folded to Dorfman who raised from the hijack position to 1,800 before Chu reraised to 5,300 from the big blind. Dorfman snap-shoved; Chu looked stunned, but he thought about it for a minute or so before making the call.
Chu: 
Dorfman: 
The dealer produced a heart-breaking 
in the window and spread a flop of 
. Chu could only shrug his shoulders and quietly make his way to the cage when the turn and river bricked out , 
. Chu collects AUD$6,820 for his 10th place finish.
The Power Of The Stack
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Randy Dorfman came in today as the chip leader and so far he has been acting that way, maneuvering his stack to bully and bruise his opponents around the table. One of those opponents has been Andrew Scarf.
Scarf was in the big blind when Dorfman raised to 1,800 from middle position. Scarf made the call in the big blind and we would see a flop.
Flop: 
Scarf checked to the big stack and Dorfman not letting any free cards come, fired out 3,400. Scarf would not be pushed around though and check-raised to 9,100.
"Player is all-in," announced the dealer.
The relentless strength of the big stack forced Scarf out of the pot as he sent his cards flying into the muck.
