Various Chips Counts from Around the Room

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Dwyer is Confident in His Hand

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Matt Rynkiewicz opened for 1,100 under the gun and received calls from Gareth Dwyer and Jesse McKenzie on the button and big blind respectively. When the flop came down {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, McKenzie checked, Rynkiewicz bet 2,100, and both his opponents called.

After the dealer burned and turned the {7-Clubs}, McKenzie checked for a second time and Rynkiewicz fired out 6,000. Dwyer made the call, McKenzie folded, and the {10-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Rynkiewicz slowed down with a check, but still opted to call when Dwyer bet a healthy 12,000.

Dwyer confidently slammed down the {10-Spades}{4-Spades} for trips, and it was good as Rynkiewicz sent his cards to the muck.

Rubie Goes the Speed Limit Into a Straight

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

With a board reading {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Australian Brendon Rubie bet 3,600 from the big blind and received a call from his opponent in the hijack. Rubie tabled the {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a straight, and it was good as his opponent mucked his cards.

It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to let you know that Rubie is up to 56,000.

Steicke Eliminated by Laming

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante
David Steicke
David Steicke

We missed the details, but we do know that David Steicke got his short stack all in preflop holding the {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and was up against the {a-}{j-} of Michael Laming.

Steicke was drawing to two live cards, but that did him little good as the board ran out dry. Laming's hand held and Steicke was left to text his friends and family the bad news from the rail.

Neilson Forbidden Hand of Mystery

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Daniel Neilson has been involved in his fair share of hands today and he was involved in another one during our most recent break.

On a board reading {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}, Neilson was faced with a 2,000-chip bet from his opponent. Neilson bumped it up to 5,300 and his opponent made the call.

The {4-Hearts} dropped on the river and Neilson, who was first to act, pushed out four yellow chips to the value of 20,000, which was enough to put his opponent at risk of elimination.

Neilson's opponent tanked for more than three minutes while the break clock ticked down. Eventually, he released his hand showing the {10-Clubs} in the process. He looked over at Neilson hoping he would put him out of his misery and show him a glimpse of his holdings, but Neilson did not oblige, instead opting to rake in the pot and stack up his 60,000 chips before making the most of the five minutes left on the break.

Nguyen Busts McLean

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Luke McLean was recently eliminated from the tournament by Minh Nguyen. According to Nguyen, it happened when he opened from the cutoff and McLean three-bet to 2,100 from the big blind. Nguyen then four-bet to 4,500, McLean five-bet to 19,000, and Nguyen called with {A-}{A-}. Unfortunately for McLean, his {9-}{9-} failed to improve.
