Bindon Binks the Turn

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

On a three-way flop of {2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, a raise to 1,550 was in front of the initial raiser from early position and Tim Bindon from one seat over called. The player on the button then raised to 3,600 and the initial raiser folded whereas Bindon moved all in. "You got a four?" Bindon immediately asked and was met with a nod by his opponent.

Bindon: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Button: {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

The dealer burned and turned the {10-Spades} to leave the player on the button with one out only and Bindon's double up for 8,575 was complete once the {K-Hearts} appeared on the river.

Aristidou Above Starting Stack

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

In a heads-up pot to the flop {6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{7-Spades}, Peter Aristidou faced a bet of 750 and raised to 2,000. The dealer initially announced a call only before other players at the table corrected him and the opponent of Aristidou threw his cards into the muck not much later. The Australian moved back above starting stack, while Scott Davies at the same table is still grinding with around 22 big blinds.

Adding Karlic to the VIP Table

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Only two tables remain in the secondary tournament area as the third table broke seconds ago. Among those to find a new home were Nathan Gubieski and Gerald Karlic with the latter grabbing a new seat right next to Xuan Liu. This makes the table of the "Idealistic Poker Heroine" (according to her Twitter profile) even more interesting, expect some fireworks here.

Salter Winning a Race

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

In a preflop all in situation, Louis Salter was at risk for around 40 big blinds with the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and had a coin flip against the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} of his opponent. His brother Jack was sweating the action after his table had just went on break and Salter doubled up after the board came {5-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

Kaplan With Big Stack

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Jordan Kaplan
Jordan Kaplan

Rory Young has been eliminated and the player next to him vanished as well, sending his stack over to Jordan Kaplan. The American shoved into a big bet on a nine-high flop with pocket queens and his opponent called with pocket jacks to dodge the two-outer. Kaplan also four-bet raised against the opponent from one seat over without getting a call this time.

Correa busts Kambouroglou

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Tony "toothpick" Kambouroglou was last spotted with around 6,000 in chips and those just vanished. The cards were already rushed away, but Kambouroglou got it in with the {A-}{J-} and early chip leader Neil Correa looked him up with the {A-}{K-} to emerge victorious.

Interesting Table Draw

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Michael Addamo & Xuan Liu
Michael Addamo & Xuan Liu

Michael Addamo was the initial raiser and picked up two callers in Geoffrey Mooney and Kahle Burns. On the flop {4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, Burns bet 625 and Addamo folded, Mooney called. Both the {10-Spades} turn and the {2-Clubs} river were checked down and the {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} of Burns won the hand.

One hand later, Addamo was involved in a battle of the blinds and bet {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Spades} river. His opponent in the small blind reluctantly called and then mucked when he was shown the {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs} by Addamo. The same table also features Xuan Liu as well.
