Sinclair and O'Dwyer Rising

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

Steve O'Dwyer more than doubled his stack and Jack Sinclair won a big pot off George Wolff. "He hit a three outer on me," Wolff said in chat.

Chino Rheem has dropped to a short stack and just raised to 25,000 from the cutoff, which O'Dwyer called in the big blind. On the {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Spades} flop, O'Dwyer checked and subsequently folded when facing a bet of 25,000.

Rafferty Three-Bets Twice

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

Farid Jattin raised to 27,000 from under the gun and Tom Rafferty in the big blind three-bet to 103,000. Jattin jammed for 473,000 and Rafferty asked for a count before releasing his cards.

In the next hand, Yake Wu opened to 27,000 on the button and Rafferty three-bet to 105,000 in the small blind. Jattin released his cards in the big blind and Wu did the same after some consideration.

Sam Higgs Eliminated in 13th Place (A$70,980)

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sam Higgs
Sam Higgs

Sam Higgs and Chino Rheem had been under pressure over on table seven while George Wolff dropped below a million and Steve O'Dwyer raked in more chips. It would then be O'Dwyer who knocked out Higgs in 13th place to set up the final two tables.

Higgs was at risk with {a-}{6-} against the {a-}{9-} of O'Dwyer and a nine-high board left Higgs drawing dead on the turn. He takes home A$70,980 and the remaining 12 players are now guaranteed at least A$91,260.

Chino Rheem

Tom Rafferty raised on the button to 27,000 and called the shove of Chino Rheem, who had about 150,000 more in the small blind. Rheem was in rough shape with {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} against {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and did not improve on the {q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades} board.

It's Rheem's second straight cash in this event after he came third last year for A$416,760.

Martin Zamani Eliminated in 11th Place (A$91,260)

Martin Zamani

Martin Zamani raised to 27,000 in the cutoff and called when Kenny Hallaert shoved for 325,000 effective in the big blind. Zamani was racing with {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} and expressed confidence he'd double against {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

The deck had other ideas as Hallaert was the one improving on the {5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} board.
