Action on Table 27

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

On the {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} turn, Zachary Tay in the small blind bet 8,500 and Aymon Hata called in the cutoff. The {A-Diamonds} river was checked through and Tay was first to show, but opted to muck instead to forfeit the pot.

Tay forfeited more than that soon after, as his seat was open and the remaining chips had suddenly been moved to Karl Symonds in the two seat. Symonds was then involved in a three-way pot to the {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} turn, on which Mihai Barbu had bet and was called by Michael Gathy and Symonds. The {10-Hearts} on the river brought a bet of 8,000 by Barbu and both opponents mucked, Barbu flashed {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a set and raked in the pot.

"Who got my buddy?" said Najeem Ajez, who had just been moved to a new table to balance the tournament.

His buddy was Graeme "Kiwi" Putt whose seat Ajez had been moved into. The table pointed at table big stack Quan Zhou.

"You're in big trouble," said Ajez.

The table explained that Putt's {j-}{j-} had run into the {a-}{a-} of Zhou for the New Zealander's last 13,000 chips.

Gupta Chips Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

With 800 chips each invested on the {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, a trio of players headed to the {J-Spades} turn and Vikrant Gupta bet 2,200. Only Teresa-Ann Natoli called, while Manny Stavropoulos got out of the way.

Natoli then bet the {A-Spades} river for 1,900 and Gupta was a non-believer. Natoli showed {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Gupta won the pot with {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs} for the same pair and better kicker.

The same table also features Maria McAlpin and Paul-Francois Tedeschi.

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Johan Schumacher
Johan Schumacher

2018 Aussie Millions Main Event seventh-place finisher Johan Schumacher has been eliminated from this year's Main Event. Schumacher took home AU$235,000 last year, but won't be adding to it after shoving 24 big blinds from the button with {6-}{6-} into the small blind's {j-}{j-}.

"I was running...just bad," Schumacher explained shortly after his elimination. "It was easy hands every time, nothing really complicated bit it was set over set, straight against better straight. Bad spots.

"It just went down, down, down. Nothing really hard. It's ok, I have two days off then I go again. That's poker!"

Duan Jams Into Bourne

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

A big pot emerged over on table 28 and the board completed with the {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Ismael Bourne checked in the small blind and Chao Duan simply moved forward his tower of T-5,000 to give Bourne the option to call all in or fold.

With more than 30,000 in the pot, Bourne had just 25,500 behind and needed a lot of time to think about his decision. Justin Liberto called the clock on him and Bourne folded within the allocated 60 seconds of consideration.
