Lovelady and Yan Flop Straights; Yan Has the Nuts

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

Joey Lovelady and [Removed:17] were heads up on a flop of {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Yan fired 59,000, Lovelady raised to 115,000, Yan re-raised to 225,000, and Lovelady moved all in for effectively 562,000. Yan snap-called.

Lovelady: {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Yan: {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Both players flopped a straight, but Yan had the nuts. The turn was the {2-Hearts}, giving Lovelady a straight flush draw, and now any heart would eliminate Yan.

The {q-Diamonds} completed the board, and Yan let out a sigh of relief. He now sits with 1.175 million chips, while Lovelady was reduced to around 215,000.

Shak Relieves Obst of Some Chips

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

With 300,000 already in the pot and a board reading {7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{A-Hearts}, James Obst checked and watched Dan Shak bet 200,000. Obst tanked for a long time before putting in the call, but he mucked just as soon as Shak rolled over {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a flopped full house.

Bad Beat Sends Last Year's Runner-Up to the Rail

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Kenny Wong (Day 2) - 28th Place
Kenny Wong (Day 2) - 28th Place

Last year, Kenny Wong finished second in this very event for AUD$1,000,000. Wong has been impressive in this year's event, but his hopes of back-to-back final tables came to an end just prior to the break.

It happened when the under-the-gun player opened for 24,000 and Wong three-bet to 75,000 from the button. James Obst responded by four-betting to 136,000 from the small blind, the original raiser folded, and Wong moved all in for 405,000. Obst called and was dominated.

Obst: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Wong: {J-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Wong was primed to double to more than the chip average and put himself in serious contention to make a run at the title, but the {7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop robbed him of that as Obst spiked a set. Wong was clearly disappointed and was up out of his seat even before the {3-Spades} turned. That meant Wong needed a jack on the river to survive, but he was left wanting as the {2-Clubs} blanked.

Wong, who did an interview with PokerNews earlier today, was eliminated from the tournament in 28th place.

Kerr Can't Grind the Short Stack Any Longer

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

Stuart Kerr open-shoved all in for his last 90,000 or so on the button. Dan Shak looked him up from the big blind, and the hands were opened.

Kerr: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Shak: {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}

"I'm just happy to have live cards," Stuart said.

The flop fell {8-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Hearts}, giving Shak a large lead, and it was all over when the {7-Clubs} turned. A meaningless {a-Diamonds} completed the board, and Stuart, who started the day with just 97,000 chips, hit the rail in 27th place.

Shak now has around 1.5 million chips.

Lin Picks One Up

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

Jan Collado opened to 24,000, Celina Lin called out of the blinds, and the flop fell {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Lin check-called a 26,000-chip bet, and the turn brought the {3-Spades}. Both players checked.

The {3-Clubs} completed the board, and Lin led out for 56,000. Collado called, and Lin tabled {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of tens. Collado mucked.

Keeton's Day Comes to an End Courtesy of Glennon

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

Action folded around to Sean Keeton on the button and he moved all in for 156,000. The small blind folded, and then Jarrod Glennon asked for a count from the big before making the call.

Keeton: {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Glennon: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

Keeton seemed to know his days were numbered as he was up out of his seat and collecting his things. Sure enough, the board ran out a dry {10-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Keeton took his leave in 26th place for AUD$35,000.
