Tyler Bonkowski Eliminated in 14th Place (AUD$70,000)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Tyler Bonkowski - 14th Place
Tyler Bonkowski - 14th Place

From the button, Randy Dorfman opened to 25,000 only to have Tyler Bonkowski three-bet to 68,000 from the small blind.

Once the action returned to Dorfman, he made it 168,000 total before Bonkowski moved all in for 468,000. Dorfman made the call.

Bonkowski: {Ks]{J-Spades}
Dorfman: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

With Bonkowski dominated, the {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}{J-Clubs} flop wouldn't change his predicament, but in fact reduce his outs to just two (not including any backdoor draws).

The {7-Spades} on the turn however saw Bonkowski snatch another nine outs to a flush, but as the river of the {4-Clubs} rolled off, he was forced to bow out in fourteenth-place.

While Dorfman moves to 1,750,000 in chips, Bonkowski heads to the cashiers cage to collect his AUD$70,000 in earnings to best his forty-ninth and AUD$20,000 collect in this very event last year.

Two Pair for Ryan

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop of {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} we saw Michael Ryan lead for 35,000 with Eli Heath bumping it to 90,000.

Ryan made the call before leading again for 105,000 when the {K-Clubs} landed on the turn.

Heath again made the call before both players checked the {10-Diamonds} on the river.

Ryan tabled his {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a rivered two pair as Heath mucked while slipping to 250,000.

"Sorry man!" stated Ryan as he collected the pot to move to just shy of one million in chips.

Manny Stavropoulos Eliminated in 15th Place (AUD$70,000)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Manny Stavropoulos - 15th Place
Manny Stavropoulos - 15th Place

Manny Stavropoulos pushed from under the gun for his last 117,000 and David Gorr made the call from the small blind.

Stavropoulos: {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Gorr: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

WIth Stavropoulos needing to spike his ace to stay alive, the {3-Spades}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop gave him an additional four outs to make a wheel.

The {8-Clubs} changed little on the turn, and when the {10-Diamonds} completed the river, Stavropoulos was forced to exit in fifteenth-place for an AUD$70,000 collect as Gorr moves to 715,000 in chips.

Razavi Bluffs Lee

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

On the flop of {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, Cliff Lee bet 26,000 and Sam Razavi raised to 100,000. Lee made the call.

The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} and Lee checked. Razavi bet 150,000 and Lee made the call.

The river completed the board with the {5-Spades} and Lee checked. Razavi moved all in for 660,000 or so and Lee mucked, showing the {A-Diamonds}. Razavi showed a bluff with the {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

Tobias Reinkemeier Eliminated in 17th Place (AUD$70,000)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Tobias Reinkemeier - 17th Place
Tobias Reinkemeier - 17th Place

Tobias Reinkemeier opened to 25,000 from the cutoff as the action folded to Patrik Antonius in the big blind.

"How much you playing?" asked Antonius.

"Roughly about 220,000" stated Reinkemeier.

"I'm all in!" announced Antonius and Reinkemeier quickly made the call.

Reinkemeier: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Antonius: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

With the both at it again - following their ace-queen chop from earlier - Reinkemeier would need to hold here if he was to stay alive in the Main Event.

The {9-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop would see Antonius take the lead, and after the {4-Diamonds} landed on the turn, Reinkemeier would be hoping to see one of the two remaining eights find its way onto the river.

Unfortunately for the German, the river landed the {A-Diamonds} to send him to the rail in seventeenth-place for an AUD$70,000 payday as Antonius moves to roughly 1,750,000 in chips.

Moorman Three-Bets Three in a Row

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Chris Moorman has always been known as an aggressive player. He's young and fearless, having come up in the online realm where aggression wins. Having the last bit of this tournament play out short handed fits right into his strengths and he's been flexing his muscle all day today with raises and reraises.

After Shane Sigsbee raised to 28,000 from the button, Moorman three-bet to 74,000 from the small blind. Cliff Lee folded from the big blind and then Sigsbee tossed his hand away as well.

On the next hand, James Keys raised to 28,000 and Moorman three-bet to 72,000 from the button. Keys folded and Cliff Lee asked Moorman if he was planning on having afternoon tea. "I'm just getting bored," responded Moorman.

On the hand after that, Shane Sigsbee raised to 30,000 and Moorman three-bet to 76,000 from the cutoff seat. Sigsbee folded as Moorman just doesn't stop.
