Ace-Noodle?

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Chris Moorman opened to 25,000 from the hi-jack only to have Cliff Lee three-bet the cutoff to 65,000.

"Ok you can have this one" stated Moorman as he folded.

"Is this enough?" asked Lee while flashing the {A-Diamonds}.

"Look, it wasn't ace-noodle again!" he added while tabling the {J-Clubs} to go with it.

Trips for Gorr

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Manny Rodrigues opened to 25,000 from under the gun only to have David Gorr three-bet the button to 75,000.

Rodrigues made the call, and when the {5-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} flop landed, he led for 25,000.

"How much you got left?" asked Gorr as Rodrigues moved his hands so his chips were in view.

"I'm all in!" announced Gorr.

"All in?" confirmed Rodrigues before he folded his {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} face up while slipping to 140,000.

Gorr moved to roughly 480,000 before showing his {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

Michael Healy Eliminated in 22nd Place (AUD$45,000)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jeff Rossiter opened the cutoff with a 22,000-chip raise only to have Michael Healy three-bet to 60,000 from the small blind.

With the action returning to Rossiter, he shipped for close to 600,000 as Healy made the call for his 330,000-chip stack.

Rossiter: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Healy: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The {K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop saw Rossiter take a commanding lead, and when the {9-Diamonds} and {5-Clubs} landed on the turn and river, Healy was sent to the rail in twenty-second place as Rossiter soared to 920,000 in chips.

Jamie Perkins Eliminated in 21st Place (AUD$45,000)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

From the cutoff seat, James Keys raised to 23,000. Jamie Perkins moved all in from the button for 110,000. Action then moved to Shane Sigsbee in the big blind and he moved all in. That knocked Keys out of the way and let Sigsbee and the at-risk Perkins go heads up.

Perkins had his life on the line with the {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. He was facing a race situation against Sigsbee's {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

The flop came down paired with the {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Spades} hitting the green felt. Now, Sigsbee had additional outs to two pair. The turn brought even more outs when the {4-Hearts} fell and gave Sigsbee a flush draw. The river completed that draw with the {8-Hearts} and left Perkins with nothing but the felt in front of him. Sigsbee picked up the pot and the elimination to move to 580,000 in chips. Perkins earned AUD$45,000 for his finish.

Sorel Mizzi

Randy Dorfman opened to 20,000 from under the gun only to have Sorel Mizzi three-bet the button to 55,000.

Cliff Lee smooth-called from the big blind as Dorfman's cards hit the muck before a {2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Clubs} flop landed.

Lee tank check-called a 66,000-chip bet from Mizzi as the {10-Clubs} rolled off on the turn.

Lee checked and Mizzi pushed out 135,000 to eventually force Lee's cards into the muck.

With that pot, Mizzi snatches the chip lead as he moves to 1,425,000 while Lee slips to 1,050,000 in chips.

Matthew Kirk Eliminated in 20th Place (AUD$45,000)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Matthew Kirk - 20th Place
Matthew Kirk - 20th Place

Manny Rodrigues opened to 21,000 under the gun only to have Matthew Kirk three-bet to 65,000 from the small blind.

With the action on Sam Razavi in the big blind, he moved all in to force Rodrigues to fold as Kirk went deep into the tank.

The both exchanged some banter before Kirk made the call to be at risk.

Kirk: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Rodrigues: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

With the inevitable tournament coinflip being a regular occurrence today, it was Kirk's turn to see if it was his day or that of Razavi.

The {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop didn't hit either player, but instead further Razavi's stranglehold in the hand.

The {2-Clubs} on the turn however now gave Kirk outs to a chop with a four or any club, ace or king to take the entire pot.

Unfortunately for the 2008 eleventh-place finisher, the river blanked out with the {J-Hearts} to end his tournament in twentieth-place for a AUD$45,000 payday as Razavi soared out to 1,085,000 in chips.

James Keys opened to 52,000 only to have David Menz ship his 362,000-chip stack into the pot as Keys made the call.

Keys: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Menz: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The final board of {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} would see Menz capture the pot to move to 765,000 as Keys dropped to 322,000 in chips.
