Bonomo Doubles Through Stern

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Justin Bonomo had been very quiet so far today but came alive with a double just now.

Action folded around to him on the button and he moved all in for 391,000. Stern was in the big blind and made the call.

Bonomo: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Stern: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The board ran {4-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} to make Bonomo a pair of aces.

Dani Stern Eliminated in 7th Place (AU$400,000)

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Dani Stern - 7th Place
Dani Stern - 7th Place

Richard Yong raised to 65,000 from the hijack and a short-stacked Dani Stern, who was crippled the hand before, opted to move all in from the small blind for roughly 200,000. Jason Mo folded from the big blind and Yong made the call.

Yong: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Stern: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Stern had woken up with a legitimate hand, but Yong was drawing to two live cards. The {10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop provided both players gutshot straight draws, but as it was Stern was still ahead with his ace-king. The {2-Clubs} turn didn't change a thing, but the {9-Clubs} river did. Yong managed to pair up and Stern was felled in seventh place for AU$400,000.

Yong Picks off Another Mo Bluff

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Jason Mo tried to bluff Richard Yong again and failed in doing so once more.

Yong opened to 90,000 from the cutoff and Mo defended his big blind to see a {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop appear. Yong continued for 100,000 and Mo check-called before both players checked the {3-Clubs} turn.

The board completed with the {6-Clubs} river and Yong called Mo's 215,000 bet holding {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. It was good as Mo could only muster {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Seiver Takes a Big Pot Off Seidel

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel on the button and he raised to 85,000. Scott Seiver called from the small blind, Richard Yong folded the big, and it was heads-up action to the {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop.

Seiver check-called a bet of 100,000 and then led out for 130,000 on the {10-Spades} turn. Seidel called and then watched the {9-Spades} complete the board on the river. Seiver bet a hefty 350,000, and Seidel thought for most of the shot clock period before tossing in some chips to signify a call.

Seiver rolled over the {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for trips, and it was good as Seidel flung his cards to the muck.

Erik Seidel - 6th Place
Erik Seidel - 6th Place

Erik Seidel was left with around 320,000 after his recent loss and it didn't take long for them to be in the middle. He moved all in from the hijack and was called by Ole Schemion in the big blind.

Seidel: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Schemion: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The board ran {q-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to make Schemion a set.

Seidel has never won this event but has still managed to cash for a staggering AU$3.201million in it.

Jason Mo Eliminated in 5th Place (AU$630,000)

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Jason Mo - 5th Place
Jason Mo - 5th Place

In the very next hand after Erik Seidel fell in sixth place, Jason Mo followed him out the door in fifth.

It happened when action folded around to Ole Schemion in the small blind and he opted to use his big stack to his advantage by moving all in. Mo, who looked to have approximately 500,000 behind, looked down at his cards and then announced a call.

Schemion: {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Mo: {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Mo got it in good, but Schemion was drawing to two live cards. The {6-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop gave Schemion an open-ended straight draw, and he managed hit it on the {A-Clubs} turn. Mo was drawing dead, and he took his leave from the tournament after the {K-Spades} completed the board on the river.

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Ole Schemion won a nice pot with some preflop aggression. Scott Seiver raised from the cutoff before Justin Bonomo three-bet to 280,000 from the small blind but both players folded quickly after Schemion four-bet all in from the big blind.

Fishhooks for Yong

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Richard Yong opened for 90,000 under the gun and Scott Seiver called from the big blind. The {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop saw Seiver check-call a bet of 100,000 and then both players checked the {4-Clubs} turn. When the {2-Spades} completed the board on the river, Seiver led out for 160,000 and Yong made a quick call.

Seiver showed the {8-Clubs}{6-Spades} for a pair of eights, but it was no good as Yong was sitting on an overpair with the {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}.
