Billy Seri raised from middle position to 775 and got two callers before the action came to Ben Delaney in the big blind. Delaney promptly made it 4,000 and Seri called while the other players got out of the way.
Before the flop was turned over Delaney turned to Seri and asked, "How much you got there Billy?"
He had 14,000.
Flop:
Delaney sent a 5,100 bet his opponents way and Seri folded.
Delaney continues to build his stack as he moves up to 56,000.
Thats what Sean O'Relly said as he raked in a winning pot and turned over .
The board was showing and one player led into O'Reilly with a 3,000 chip bet. It was at this point that O'Reilly made it 8,000 and got his opponent to fold which brings us back to the start of our story and that's Poker.
Reza Vakili won't be calling this event his first Aussie Millions gold ring after he was all-in preflop against two opponents.
We shant bore you with the particulars but Vakili was relatively short-stacked and shoved with . He would be up against two opponents, one in Aleks Brkovic holding and Elliot Smith with .
Brkovic had both of his opponents covered but when the board turned over he would be left with only 10,000 and Vakili sent home while Smith and his ace in the window moves to 20,000.
With a board reading , Michael Egan led for 2,000. His opponent was Alexander Debus who three-bet to 8,500.
At this point Egan was faced with a decision. There seemed to be two options, as call would leave him with almost nothing behind, so it was shove or fold.
Egan went with the shove and turned over for top pair.
Debus made the call, his a little too much for Egan who would need to catch a .
The on the river was good enough to give Egan two-pair but not good enough to save his tournament life.
The players have been sent on their dinner break. They will each have an hour to compose themselves and contmeplate strategies to make it the final table however, 24 of those would have wasted their time because whatever plan they came up with didnt work as they fell short of the moeny. But we are getting ahead of ourselves, for now enjoy your break and meet back here in an hour.
John Eames has been short-stacked for much of the last level, waiting for that hand that will help him survive through the dinner break. But those who play poker will know you cant just sit around and wait forever or the blinds will gobble you up. Eames knows this and happened to wake up with a hand which he casually jammed into the middle recieving one caller in Tam Truong.

By the turn the board had ran out and Eames was looking good to survive. If only life were that simple. The fell on the river, shattering Eames' hopes.
Patrik Braga has been on an emotional rollercoaster today. Starting the day as anyone else on the field he was slowly grinding his way through the field to try and secure a final table berth.
It all started when he brutalized an opponent with holding on a flop, securing all of the players chips who held . With that hand he was up over 40,000.
Then it seemed that Braga started to use his chips to take control of the table and soon had over 50,000. He was in high spirits.
Braga then had an opponent all-in, Braga holding against , but the board meant Braga would take a hit with the rivered straight and drop below 30,000.
Reza Vakili then had his chips allin against Braga after Vakili flopped a set holding on a flop. Braga held , one card for the straight or one club. The on the turn gave Braga his flush but the filled an ecstatic Vakili up and pushed Braga down to 9,000.
