Success

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Mitchell Carle opened with an under the gun raise which Phil Ivey defended from the big blind.

Ivey's final 16,000 entered the pot on the {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop with Carle making the call.

Carle: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Ivey: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

Ivey dinked the {7-Clubs} on the turn to spike his flush and double to 40,000 as the meaningless {5-Spades} filled the river.

Mizzi Extended Chip Lead

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi

On a flop of {Q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Clubs}, Sorel Mizzi check-called a 6,500-chip Michael Egan continuation-bet as the {K-Spades} on the turn went check, check.

The river of the {J-Spades} saw Mizzi lead out for 13,500 with Egan kicking his cards to the muck.

As Mizzi climbs to 320,000, Egan drops back down to 130,000.

Ablett Ain't Kicking Goals Anymore

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Gary Ablett
Gary Ablett

Gary Ablett Jnr recently signed a AUD$10,000,000 deal to play Australian Rules Football for the new franchise called the Gold Coast Suns.

Although one of the greatest sportstars of the modern generation, Ablett should probably stick to the beloved game us Aussies believe is played in Heaven!

Opening to 3,500 from the cutoff, Ablett was then confronted with a 8,100-chip three-bet from Kristian Lunardi out of the small blind.

With the action on Ablett, he four-bet jammed for roughly his last 28,000. Lunardi made the call to put Ablett at risk.

Lunardi: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Ablett: {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

With the rail pressing hard squinting at Ablett's holding, the {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop saw him needing plenty of help to remain alive.

The {K-Clubs} on the turn rendered him dead as the meaningless {2-Hearts} completed the board sending Lunardi up to 95,000 and Ablett around the table shaking hands with his opponents.
