Rossiter Pressures Gorr

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #160: James Keys made it 130,000 from the button only to have Jeff Rossiter cut out a three-bet amounting to 340,0000. David Gorr mucked in the big blind, and as Keys mulled over a decision for several moments, he eventually folded.

Hand #161: Jeff Rossiter bumped it to 140,000 from the button before David Gorr three-bet to 350,000 from the small blind.

With the action back on Rossiter, he slid in a four-bet of 740,000 total to put the tough spot back into Gorr's court. No fade-away buzzer beater here for Gorr, he passed it on, and mucked his hand to slip to roughly 5,100,000 in chips.

Some Controversies... Only Playing for 3.7 Million!

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

The final table was just paused for a few moments while the Tournament Director had a chat with the players.

Speaking quietly, but just audible enough for the media row to hear through the synced-up microphones and video feeds, the original plans for the day have been altered. The dinner break for the remaining players will be reduced to just thirty-minutes.

As the Tournament Director was explaining this to the three players, David Gorr arked up saying that he had made plans relying on a sixty-minute break.

The Tournament Director went on to elaborate that they can take a standard sixty-minute dinner break, but by doing so it means that the two-hour levels will be reduced to just hour-long ones.

It seems as though the three players were all fairly unhappy, and as the Tournament Director headed off to get some menus so that the players could order and eat during the short break, Jeff Rossiter stated, "It's cool, there's only 3.7 million in the prizepool!"

Michael Ryan Eliminated in 4th Place (AUD$450,000)

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Ryan - 4th Place
Michael Ryan - 4th Place

Hand #142: Michael Ryan opened to 155,000 from under the gun only to have Jeff Rossiter three-bet to 430,000 from the small blind.

Ryan cut down the allotted chips to make the call, before cutting down the remainder of his stack - most likely in an effort to get an exact count on his stack.

After nearly a minute, Ryan pushed out 850,000 and Rossiter instantly moved all in to put Ryan at risk for roughly his further 1,200,000.

"I call!" announced Ryan he took to his feet to watch what fate the deck would deliver.

Ryan: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Rossiter: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

With Ryan at risk, the {Q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop kept him in the lead, and as the {2-Spades} landed on the turn, all he would need to do is fade an ace or king to sky-rocket back over the average stack.

Just like what happened to Randy Dorfman earlier, a cruel ace on the river would end Ryan's tournament when the {A-Spades} was delivered by the dealer to send Ryan out in fourth place for an AUD$450,000 payday as Rossiter soars to 6,900,000 in chips.

Keys Back Over Two Million

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #133: Jeff Rossiter received a walk in the big blind.

Hand #134: Michael Ryan entered the pot for 140,000 and Jeff Rossiter defended his small blind to see a {Kc]{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop land and checks follow from both players.

The {4-Hearts} on the turn saw another round of checks as the {8-Diamonds} on the river again saw both players tap the table.

Ryan tabled his {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}, but it would be Rossiter's {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} that would see him collect the pot.

Hand #135: Jeff Rossiter made it 140,000 from the button only to have David Gorr three-bet to 400,000. Michael Ryan tossed his cards into the muck from the big blind, as did Rossiter, to see Gorr claim the pot.

Hand #136: From the button, David Gorr made it 130,000 only to have James Keys slide in a three-bet to 360,000 from the big blind.

As Gorr fiddled with his card protector, he made the call as the dealer dropped the {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop and Keys pushed out a bet of 245,000. Gorr gazed over at Keys, before returning to affix his eyes upon his stack.

A further twenty seconds went by before Gorr pushed his cards towards the muck to see Keys collect the pot to move to 2,050,000 while letting out a school-boy giggle.

Hand #128: Jeff Rossiter opened to 140,000 from under the gun and Michael Ryan smooth-called from the small blind to see a {6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop land.

Both players checked as the {Q-Hearts} landed on the turn and Ryan slid in a 250,000-chip bet. Rossiter quickly splashed the pot with a call as the {5-Diamonds} completed the community cards.

Ryan fired once more - this time for 375,000 - as Rossiter spent a little longer deliberating over his hand before tossing it at the muck.

Following the previous hands, Rossiter is now down to 2,800,000 in chips.
