Rory Young Eliminated in 8th Place (A$102,600)

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Rory Young
Rory Young

Jan-Eric Schwippert raised to 41,000 blind-on-blind and Rory Young three-bet to 116,000. Schwippert then four-bet jammed, covering his opponent and Young called all in for his last 590,000.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Rory Young: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop came {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts} with no help to Schwippert, and Young still poised for a double-up. However the {a-Clubs} on the turn made Young stand up and gather his things, and the {7-Diamonds} on the river confirmed his elimination.

He takes home A$102,600 in eighth place, and the unofficial final table of seven players is confirmed.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and the jack on the river gave Schwippert broadway to eliminate Yoon in 9th place for A$82,080.

Small Pot for Young

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

While Ben Lamb continues to dominate the action on table 10, it is Jan-Eric Schwippert with the biggest stack on the other table.

Rory Young raised to 26,000 on the button and Kitty Kuo called in the small blind, as did Wayne Yap in the big blind. The flop came {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} and action checked to Young, who continued for 36,000. Kuo folded and Yap called, then checked again the {6-Clubs} turn. Young fired a second bet worth 115,000 and that won the pot right there.

Schwippert Wins a Big One

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

First to act, Jan-Eric Schwippert made it 30,000 to go and Wayne Yap just called to see a flop of {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. No betting action took place and Yap check-raised the {Q-Spades} turn from 42,000 to 120,000, which Schwippert called.

The {5-Clubs} river paired the board and Yap led for 190,000. Without much hesitation, Schwippert called and Yap rolled over {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for queens and fives. Schwippert had that beat with {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for queens and tens to rake in a big pot and jump well above one million in chips.

Yoon Gets Short(er)

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

On the heads-up flop of {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}, Brian Yoon bet 16,000 and Rory Young called to see the {K-Hearts} on the turn. Both players elected to check and the {7-Clubs} on the river brought a check by Yoon. Young bet 20,000 and was called to roll over {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a straight as winning hand.

Roger Teska defended his big blind to a raise by Jack Salter and check-called a bet of 68,000 on the {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} turn. The {6-Hearts} river was checked and Salter claimed the pot with {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}.

Salter Wins Flip to Double

Level 16 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Roger Teska raised to 23,000 on the button and Jack Salter moved all in from the small blind. Teska asked for a count and called when the all in was deemed to be for 168,000 in total.

Jack Salter: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Roger Teska: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

As soon as Salter spotted the {K-Diamonds} in the window, he said "that's a start" but the {5-Spades} and {2-Clubs} that followed on the flop weren't much of a hope. Salter leaned forward and moved his hand to the middle of the table, asking for some magic. Indeed the {A-Clubs} fell on the turn to improve the Brit to a pair of aces, and the {9-Diamonds} river kept Salter in the lead and competition.
