Colman Ships One on Short-Handed Table

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Two players were missing from their seats while Maxi Lehmanski, Steven Warburton and Julius Colman were involved in the action. Lehmanski bet the {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} turn for 2,500 and Warburton called in the cutoff. Colman raised it up to 8,000 on the button and Lehmanski folded, as did Warburton with the words "I see you raise me so many times" towards Lehmanski.

The reason for the table playing short is the fact that Jonathan Abdellatif and another player had gotten in a hefty discussion and both received a three hand penalty when a rather innocent starting table chat got out of hand.

Lodge Up at Table of Big Names

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

In a field of qualifiers, three big names are seated at the same table. Harry Lodge, Oliver Gill and Usman Siddique are all seated at table 32, with Lodge the big winner so far today.

In one hand Usman Siddique opened to 500 and the big blind called. The big blind check-called 400 on the {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop and the pair checked the {7-Diamonds} turn. Siddique folded on the {5-Clubs} river when the big blind bet out 1,000.

Hachem Leaves Wilkerson Short

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Daniel Hachem
Daniel Hachem

Dylan Wilkerson raised to 500 in the hijack and picked up a single caller in Daniel Hachem in the cutoff. Wilkerson continued for 600 on the {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Hachem called to see the {Q-Hearts} appear on the turn. Wilkerson slowed down and checked, then called a bet of 1,600 by Hachem.

On the {7-Spades} river, Wilkerson checked once more and Daniel Hachem bet 5,200, which represented almost exactly half of what Wilkerson had left. A reluctant call followed and Wilkerson nodded when Hachem turned over {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for the nut straight.

Rheem Busts After Two Hands

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante
Chino Rheem
Chino Rheem

"You missed a fun hand," Andrew Chen said in the previous break and went on to explain how Chino Rheem arrived at the table, having busted the A$ 50,000 Challenge, and played two hands before running out of chips.

According to Chen, two players limped in and a raise to 1,200 followed, Rheme called as did the two limpers. Four-way to the {A-}{7-}{5-} flop with a hearts flush draw, the first limper bet 1,100 and was called. A raise to 3,200 followed and Rheem called on the button. Only Steven Miller called and the remaining three players checked the {Q-} turn.

On the {9-} river, Miller bet 6,000 and his table neighbor reluctantly folded, Rheem then jammed for around 17,000. "That would be a pretty sick to bluff here, right?" Rheem apparently said in table chat and he was picked up by Miller to show {6-}{3-} for a missed gutshot and six-high. Miller had pocket sevens for a set and the third player in the hand had folded ace-king.

They still talked about the hand when everyone had returned, and a new player sat down in the seat that previously belonged to Rheem. It happens to be Randy Lew.

Former Champ Nelson "Making Moves"

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

It folded to Tatjana Zizic in the cutoff and she raised to 550. Former Aussie Millions Main Event champion Lee Nelson was on the button and three-bet to 1,600. The blinds folded and Zizic flashed an ace before folding.

"A suited ace," she said to Nelson as the pair exchanged a chuckle. "A big fold."

"You're making a move on me, I know you," she continued.

Cohen Loses Some

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

On the tail end of a hand between Sam Cohen from under the gun and the player in the big blind, the board showed {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Cohen called a bet of 3,000. She was shown {Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the flush and mucked, dropping just above the starting stack.

Joe Hachem has jumped into the Main Event also and was just spotted in the upper tournament area, his son Daniel has already been in action for some time.

Taylor Chips Up Even Further

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jonathan Karamalikis limped the button and got calls from the small blind and Clint Taylor checked his big blind.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} and it checked to Karamalikis who bet 300 and got two callers.

The small blind checked and Taylor bet 650 on the {j-Hearts} turn. Karamalikis called and Taylor folded.

The river was the {10-Clubs}. Taylor checked and Karamalikis bet 1,500.

"I don't want to see a flush," said Taylor. "I call." Karamalikis shrugged and turned over {8-Hearts}{9-Spades} for nine-high and Taylor won the pot with {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for top pair.
