Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Dominik Nitsche has left us just before the end of Level 14. He was on the button and got his last 65,000 in preflop against the player in the big blind.
Nitsche: 
Big blind: 
Nitsche needed help but it wouldn’t come as the community cards fell 
to see his opponent’s pocket sevens hold.
Nitsche wished the table good luck before leaving the tournament area.

Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
A player in middle position raised to 7,500 and Fedor Holz made the call from the cutoff before Nibal Edgtton pumped it up to 34,000 from the small blind. While the original raiser folded Holz was going nowhere and made the call.
The flop came down 
and Edgtton quickly checked. Holz shot him a glance before counting out a bet of 25,000, which was enough to get Edgtton to give it up. Holz now has around 345,000.

Level 14

Last year’s runner-up Tony Dunst won’t be making consecutive final table appearances – he just exited the tournament area after being eliminated.
All the money was in the middle and the cards were spread 
when we spotted Dunst out of his seat. He had 
in front of him but that was no good against his opponent’s

Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Jason Mo started the day with 170,000 which was above average and worth almost 71 big blinds. Ever since, Mo has accumulated a ton of chips more and now sits on one of the biggest stacks in the Crown Melbourne poker room.
Mo won a series of small and medium-sized pots in the first two levels of the day. One of the bigger ones he won, was a hand where he had the nut flush up against a poor soul's third nut flush.
Mo, who has Ben Tollerene on his immediate left, plays just over half a million in chips, worth a staggering 170 big blinds.

Nino Marotta is well and truly running hot after once again picking up pocket kings, and once again sending an opponent packing.
The two players got it in preflop with Marotta holding 
and in front of 
. The pocket kings held on the 
runout and Marotta raked the pot to establish himself as one of the chip leaders here on Day 3.
“You’re officially on a heater now,” said Marotta’s tablemate Scott Davies.

Alex Keating has just informed us of a recent double-up for Fedor Holz.
Holz raised from the hijack and was called by the player in the big blind.
The flop came 
and the big blind check-called a continuation bet by Holz.
The turn brought the 
and the big blind checked once more. Holz led out for 35,000 only to be faced with an all in shove from his opponent. He snap-called with 123,000 chips behind.
Holz: 
Opponent: 
Holz had turned the nut straight and had his opponent drawing dead. The meaningless completed the board and Holz raked in a sizeable pot to see him rise back up to 300,000.

Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Scott Davies started things off with a raise from under the gun before Nino Marotta reraised from middle position. Francesco Sergi was in the cutoff and deliberated over his decision for a minute before opting to move all in for 53,000. The decision fell back on Davies who agonised over his decision before mucking his hand. Marotta snap-called.
Marotta: 
Sergi:
The board ran out 
to see Marotta hold with his pocket pair sending Sergi to the rail.
Davies announced he folded pocket jacks following the hand and was grateful to still be alive in the tournament as he went to Twitter to tell all.
Down to 58k. Just raise/folded JJ on a 25bb stack and was correct. Saved my tournament life would have run right into KK. #AussieMillions
