Bord Folds to Antonius

Level 2 : 1,000/2,000, 100 ante

James Bord entered the pot first to speak with a raise to 5,000. Patrik Antonius was the lone caller as the flop landed {8-Hearts}{A-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

Bord fired out a continuation-bet of 5,700 with Antonius smooth-calling as the {A-Hearts} rolled off on the turn.

Bord checked and Antonius pushed out a bet of 12,000 with Bord making the call before checking the {Q-Diamonds} on the river.

Antonius took over ninety seconds before dropping in a bet of 23,000 as Bord let out an insta-moan as Antonius remained emotionless with his hands placed well disguised over his cards.

Another moan, a scratch of the head and some inaudible personal muttering was endured by Bord before he opted to fold after nearly three minutes in the tank.

Eli Elezra Eliminated in 6th Place (AUD$30,000)

Level 2 : 1,000/2,000, 100 ante
Eli Elezra - 6th place
Eli Elezra - 6th place

James Bord opened to 4,500 from under the gun with David Oppenheim making the call before Eli Elezra moved all in from the button for just 7,600.

Once the blinds passed, Bord moved all in to force Oppenheim's cards into the muck.

Bord: {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Elezra: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

"I run pretty good though!" stated Bord after seeing his domination.

The {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop gave Bord a gutshot to go along with his live ten, as Bord quipped, "I'm sorry Eli!"

The turn of the {5-Hearts} changed little, but it would be the tournament-ending dagger of the {j-Clubs} on the river that would end Elezra's tournament in sixth place for an AUD$30,000 payday.

Lederer Makes Huge Call with Ace-High

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Eli Elezra limped in from under the gun and Howard Lederer made it 4,500 next to act. Patrik Antonius made the call from the small blind before Elezra splashed the pot with a call.

The flop of {K-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} brought about a check from Antonius and Elezra before Lederer tossed in two yellow 5,000-denomination chips amounting to a bet of 10,000.

Antonius passed, and Elezra made the call as the {2-Hearts} landed on the turn and Elezra swiftly passed the action over to Lederer. Lederer checked behind as the river of the {6-Clubs} saw Elezra toss in 11,000.

Lederer went into the tank for near on four minutes before making the call the tabling his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for just ace-high.

Elezra mucked and was left with just under 15,000 in chips.

Oppenheim Takes One from Antonius

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Patrik Antonius opened to 2,300 from early position and David Oppenheim three-bet to 8,300 next to speak.

Antonius made the call once the action returned to him as the dealer dropped a {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop and he checked it through to Oppenheim.

Cutting out a bet of 9,000, Oppenheim was greeted with an Antonius call as the {6-Diamonds} spiked on the turn and both players checked it through.

The river landed the {10-Hearts} and Antonius checked before Oppenheim took a little longer making a decision before eventually pushing out a bet of 21,500.

As Antonius' eyes darted left-to-right from the bet to the pot and so-forth, the Finnish pro seemed a little dazzled as he shuffled an assortment of grey 1,000-denomination chips in his right hand and held his cards tightly in the other.

Nearly two minutes would pass before Antonius eventually opted to muck as Oppenheim collected the pot to return to where he roughly started the day; just on 160,000 in chips.

It's The Boatman Show

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

"You've played five hands, and won all five!" stated Eli Elezra after Barny Boatman opened the pot to 2,700 and successfully took down the blinds and antes.

"If I played my hand better, I may have doubled up!" responded Boatman.

"You tried to trap the Professor?" asked Elezra as Boatman just shrugged his shoulders.

The following hand, Boatman opened again to 2,700 and James Bord made it 10,000 to go.

Boatman folded, and Bord quipped, "If he goes all in I go for f**ks sake!"
