It is 4am local time, but you would not know it by the crowd gathered around the Final Table. The Australians take their Poker very seriously and are out in force to cheer on their local hero. There are also a band of players from the US rallying behind their fellow countryman.

Jethro clawing his way back

[user22113]

Jethro takes down two pots in a row and closes the deficit. We are seeing some great Poker here folks. Neither player will give an inch. There has been no talk of a deal - they both want the crystal trophy, and bragging rights associated with winning a specialist event.

Adam takes the lead

[user22113]

There is plenty of action on a board or 359K, with Jethro doing the betting behind Adam's check. The River brings the {2-Clubs}

and Adam bets out. Jethro goes into the tank and eventually folds. Adam takes down a $96,000 pot, and with it - the chip lead.

Jethro has the support of the crowd, but Adam has come all the way from Texas and is not going down without a fight.
