Dykes Done for the Day

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Peter Dykes was all in and at risk for just 1,950 and turned over the {A-Spades}{5-Spades}. His table neighbour had two live cards in {K-Clubs}{10-Spades} and the board of {K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} left Dykes empty-handed.

Some Chips for Abernathy; Zarb Gone

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Corey Zarb, who had reduced the stack of Kenny Hallaert to just 100 chips after seven minutes on Day 1a and sent the Belgian to the rail soon after, was sitting on more than two times the starting stack but his seat was suddenly empty. Chris Cannon has all of them and took over the role of chip leader.

Cannon raised small to pick up calls from Samantha Abernathy on the button and a short stack in the big blind. On the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} river, the big blind led for 1,300 and Cannon called. Abernathy raised to 5,000 and that was enough to force two folds.

Soyza Among Casualties

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

The seat of Christopher Soyza is empty while Andrew Locke on his former table had a far bigger stack. According to Dara O'Kearney it was Locke, who had previously doubled through Soyza, who did the final damage. Soyza got it in with {J-}{10-} for top two on a jack-ten high board and Locke held pocket queens to find a queen on each the turn and river for quads.

New faces in the field include Thomas Boivin, Mel Juda and [Removed:17].

Charette and Laidlaw Win Pots

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Michael Del Vecchio raised to 500 and was called by the player in the small blind. Duff Charette three-bet to 2,200 from the big blind and just the small blind reluctantly called before checking in the dark. Charette checked behind the {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and bet the {J-Spades} turn for 4,800 after a check of his opponent. That was enough to win the pot without further resistance for the Canadian.

One hand later, Daniel Laidlaw raised to 500 from the cutoff and Charette called in the small blind, the big blind made it three to the flop of {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}. All three players checked to the {10-Diamonds} turn and the big blind bet 1,100. Laidlaw called while Charette folded and the {K-Hearts} river brought a check from the big blind and a bet of 3,100 by Laidlaw.

After some consideration, the call followed and Laidlaw's {A-Spades}{10-Spades} for trips tens won the pot.

May bet 11,000. Her opponent shook his head before flicking his cards into the muck.

Sklenicka Under Pressure

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Michael Sklenicka has dropped to a mere 4,000 while Andrew Shanahan has joined the early big stacks from two seats over. Emanuel Seal has joined that very table and took a seat between Nikki Stiefel and Joshua Clancy. The turn showed {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Clancy bet 2,150 out of the big blind, which Stiefel called. On the {K-Hearts} river, Clancy made it another 6,600 to go and Stiefel folded.

"I gonna show you one of the cards," Clancy said and flashed the {4-Spades}. Some table chat followed and Stiefel added "a queen would have been the best card for me."

Demeteriou Eliminates a Player with Set Over Set

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Harry Demeteriou raised to 550 pre-flop and an opponent three-bet to 1,650. Demeteriou called and the flop came {3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

Demeteriou check-raised his opponent's bet of 1,000 to 2,000 and they called. Demeteriou then bet 5,000 on the {a-Diamonds} turn and his opponent called.

With his opponent having just 12,000 behind, Demeteriou bet 15,000 on the {10-Clubs} river and his opponent called.

Harry Demeteriou: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

It was a set over set situation, and the 2003 Aussie Millions third-place finisher sent his opponent to the rail.

Eberle in Trouble; Ragozzino in Action

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

After a raise to 550, Laszlo Bujtas three-bet to 2,200 and Pasquale Ragozzino four-bet to 4,500 in the big blind. The initial raiser folded and Bujtas called. On the {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Bujtas checked to Ragozzino, who bet 10,000 and forced a fold.

Arthur Maggs raised to 650 and Ragozzino three-bet to 2,000 on the button, Maggs called. On the {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop, Maggs check-called a bet of 3,000 and the {A-Diamonds} turn was checked. Maggs bet the {Q-Diamonds} river for 12,000 and Ragozzino mucked {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} face up. "You didn't have the ace, right?" Ragozzino asked and Maggs just smirked back.

Benedikt Eberle on the same table has dropped to a mere 3,000 and folded on all of those hands, but will be forced to make a move very soon. Corey Kempson was down to 2,500 recently and has busted from a different table.
