Jim Collopy is one player who has taken advantage of the rebuy format, and recently did so yet again. It happened after he was all in preflop for about 2,000 holding 
and up against the 
of the player in the small blind.
The 
put a dagger through Collopy, while the 
turn left him drawing dead. The 
was put out on the river for good measure, as "Mr_BigQueso" was left reaching for a rebuy chip.
We've spotted Barry Greenstein wandering the tournament floor and conversing with Sorel Mizzi. We're not sure if he'll be playing today's event, but it's the first time we've seen him at the Crown and thought we'd pass it along.

We stumbled upon Table 25 just in time to see a three-way all in. Before we get to that hand, we should tell you that Isaac Baron was left with just 550 after losing 
to 
a few hands earlier. Anyway, in this hand, the cards were as follows:
Showdown
Faraz: 
Kastle: 
Baron: 
Kastle was also short stacked and in for 700, meaning Jaka had both covered. The 
flop solidified Kastle's lead, while the 
and completed the turn. With that, Kastle tripled and Baron opted for a rebuy.
A few hands later, Baron was all in with and up against 
of his opponent. We're not sure when the money went in, but we do know a nine on the flop cracked Baron's aces. He must have had enough as he declined to rebuy and exited the tournament floor.
Level: 3
Blinds: 75/150
Ante: 0
Let's start off with the shout out for Patricia Rosen. Jamie Rosen told us his mom would love a shout out and since we are the nicest guys on the tournament circuit that's no problem! Alright, let's get to the action.
When we got to the table Salman Behbehani pointed to McLean Karr and started telling us all about how he luckboxed his way into a 10,000 stack. Karr first lost 
all-in pre flop against the 
of Jamie Rosen after which he beat Mark Teltscher hitting a set of sixes against his queens. Later on Karr raised with to 200, and he ended up calling a three-bet to 700 from a player with a 4,000 chipstack. The flop brought out with two spades and one diamond. Karr check-raised all in and his opponent called with pocket tens. Karr rivered a nine giving him the best hand and a very big pot.
As we were writing up this hand Karr forced another player to rebuy as he beat 
with 
. The board read 
as Karr raked in the chips. Unfortunately we didn't catch the action but Karr is one of the early front runners with 14,500 chips. Jamie Rosen is also doing very well early on. He managed to bust a player with versus 
giving him a very comfortable 10,700. Behbehani, who was doing most of the talking, has 2,100 chips and he's looking to double up soon.

The Australian Poker Hall of Fame (APHOF), launched in 2009, was established to recognize those in the Australian poker industry who have excelled and positively contributed to the game of poker. Australia players have a rich tradition in poker with players like Joe Hachem, Jeff Lisandro, and Mel Judah, each member of the APHOF.

Gorr, a veteran poker player and Crown regular, is best known for winning last year’s Aussie Millions Main Event for $2 million and currently sits in fourth place on the Australian All Time Money List, while Gray has amassed over $1.1 million in tournament winnings, including a win in the 2007 $25,000 Victorian Championships; third in the 2008 World Series of Poker Omaha Hi-Lo Split World Championship, runner-up at the 2008 Asian Poker Pacific (APPT) Sydney Grand Final.
In order to be inducted into the APHOL, nominees must meet the following criteria:
Needless to say, both Gorr and Gray not only met the criteria, they far surpassed in. Congrats to both on their accomplishment.
Things are really starting to heat up here in Event #6 as players as more than willing to gamble and rebuy if necessary.
In one hand, Sorel Mizzi was all in preflop for 1,800 with 
and racing against the 
of the player on the button. It was a coinflip, and one that came down in Mizzi's favor as the flop fell 
. The turn and river failed to help the button, and Mizzi doubled to 3,600, avoiding a rebuy . . . for now.
On the other hand, Jim Collopy was seen rebuying. It happened when his failed to crack the of his opponent as the board ran out 
. Another man who was recently spotted rebuying was Faraz Jaka, who we all know isn't afraid to mix it up.

A player in middle position limped only to be raised to 300 by the hijack. Dan Kelly then made the call from the small blind, the MP player folded, and the flop fell 
. Kelly check-called a bet of 300 before both players checked down the turn and river.
Kelly rolled over for two pair, prompting the hijack to muck. Kelly is up to 5K.
