Karib Karib
Karib Karib

Simon Morris opened to 15,000 only to have Karib Karib make it 41,000 next to act.

Karib: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Dorfman: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

The turn of the {J-Hearts} and river of the {A-Spades} saw Karib's tournament end as Dorfman soars to the chip lead with 980,000 in chips.

Farkas Fumbles, Saves, Falls

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Gabor Farkas opened to 12,000 from the cutoff only to have Sanchez Rodriguez three-bet the button to 25,000.

Farkas moved all in for 212,000 and Rodriguez made the call for his 210,500.

Farkas: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Rodriguez: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to see Rodriguez soar to 440,000 as Farkas was left with just 1,500.

Committed his final 1,000 (after anteing 500), Farkas managed to see his {9-Spades}{8-Spades} best Rodriguez' {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} as the final board ran out {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

Farkas would commit the next hand with {Q-}{J-}, but be unable to best Oliver Keefe's {A-}{8-}.

First to One Milli?

With three players currently flirty around the 950,000-chip mark, the question is who will be the first to tick into the seven-figure club.

Randy Dorfman nearly did, but losing a few pots brought him back behind Patrik Antonius who has been building his stack steadily throughout this level.

Eli Heath has surged from nowhere, and if he continues to remain under the radar, he may be the man to snatch the one-milli title!

Gene Rayner opened to 12,000 from the button before Matthew Kirk three-bet the small blind to 22,500.

Kirk flashed his {Q-Clubs} to claim the pot and move to 220,000 in chips.

Three Streets of Value for Lew

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Randy Lew raised from the hijack seat to 11,000 and Christopher Sparks called from the big blind to see the flop come down {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Sparks checked and Lew fired a continuation bet of 13,500. Sparks made the call.

The turn card brought the {Q-Spades} and Sparks checked. Lew fired 29,000 and Sparks called again.

The river completed the board with the {3-Hearts} and Sparks checked once more. Lew fired again. He made a bet of 80,000 and Sparks called.

Lew tabled the {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for two pair, queens and tens, and Sparks mucked. Lew moved to 450,000 while Sparks dropped to 130,000.

White Out

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

David Menz just took out Michael White. The money went in on the turn with the board reading {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}. White had turned two pair with the {K-Spades}{10-Spades}, but he needed to fill up on the river as Menz held the {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a flush.

The river failed to give White a full house when the {A-Hearts} fell and he was sent packing.

Michael Guttman (from day two)

Randy Dorfman opened to 10,500 only to have Roman Zoch make it 26,000. Michael Guttman pushed for 120,500 from the button and Dorfman iso-shoved to force Zoch to fold.

Guttman: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Dorfman: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

With Zoch apparantly folding jacks, the board would run out {Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} to see Guttman exit in forty-fifth place for an AUD$20,000 payday as Dorfman soars to 1,050,000 in chips.
