Antonius Gets There After Floating

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

From the cutoff seat, Michael Ryan raised to 25,000. Patrik Antonius flatted him in position on the button and the flop came down {J-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Ryan bet 37,000 and Antonius made the call.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts} to pair the board. Ryan bet 55,000 and Antonius called before the {Q-Clubs} fell on the river. Ryan bet 75,000 and Antonius made the call again.

Ryan tabled the {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, but couldn't beat Antonius' {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a better two pair on the river. Antonius is now approaching 1.5 million while Ryan dropped to 660,000.

Keys Unlocks the Double

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

Eli Heath opened to 22,000 from the button only to have James Keys three-bet to 68,000 from the small blind.

Heath responded by moving all in and Keys quickly made the call.

Keys: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Heath: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The board filled out {4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs} to see Keys double through to over 680,000 as Heath was left with roughly 500,000 in chips.

Rodrigues Increases Stack

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

From under the gun, the shortest stacked player opened to 22,000 leaving himself just 36,000 behind.

The table folded round and Rodrigues flashed his {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to be very happy at securing the pot and increasing his stack by 18,000 - roughly a 33% increase!

Tyler Wins Battle of Difficult Names

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

Tyler Bonkowski opened the button to 25,000 only to have Tobias Reinkemeier three-bet to 57,000 from the small blind.

Bonkowski jammed for 240,000 and Reinkemeier made the call.

Bonkowski: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Reinkemeier: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

With Bonkowski in a flip for a day three berth, the {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop was one of the best he could have seen as it cut down the three jacks Reinkemeier had while also adding two nines.

The {6-Clubs} on the turn saw Bonkowski have Reinkemeier drawing to just two outs, and when the river blanked with the {2-Diamonds}, he doubled to 500,000 as Reinkemeier slipped to 420,000 in chips.

Rodrigues: {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Gorr: {6-Spades}{5-Spades}

No need for a dramatic explanation of the hand. The board ran out {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} to see Rodrigues double to 80,000 as Gorr slipped to 440,000.

Dorfman Moorman-ised

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

Chris Moorman made it 25,000 from the button and Randy Dorfman made the call.

Dorfman check-called 33,000 on the {2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop as the {K-Spades} spiked on the turn.

With the action checked to Moorman, he pushed out a bet of 69,000 only to have Dorfman respond with a check-raise to 168,000. Moorman made it 319,000, and after several minutes in the tank, Dorfman folded.

As Moorman raked in the pot to move to 1,350,000, Dorfman slipped to 1,180,000 in chips.

Rodrigues Survives

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

Manny Rodrigues raised all in from under the gun for his last 25,000. He was down to just two and a half big blinds. Mark Vos provided some protection from the button with a reraised to 50,000 and everyone folded.

Vos turned over the {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Rodrigues the {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Vos, who had been needing to use the restroom for quit some time now, tabled his hand and sprinted to the bathroom as the dealer ran the board.

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and the two players chopped up the pot to keep Rodrigues alive.

Rodrigues: {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Gorr: {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Unfortunately for Rodrigues, the board ran out {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} to see Rodrigues collect AUD$45,000 for his great short-stack ninja work as the final eighteen players can now bag and tag their chips, and get some well deserved rest!
