Warne's New Opposition

Shane Warne is used to dismissing tough opponents but he hasn't had it easy today. He has had to battle with WSOP bracelet winner Alex Kravchenko all day today, with Kravchenko currently "not out" on 52,000 chips.

However Warne has outlasted some of the world's best poker players who have departed from the seat to his direct left. Many Melbourians would love to sit next to Warney but so far today this seat has seen the end of talented professionals Anna Wroblewski and Annette Obrestad.

So who is next to sit next to Warne? None other than Jon "Pearljammer" Turner!

Pearjammer Folds to the Four-Bet

Jon "Pearljammer" Turner raised to 1,500 from middle position and the big blind called. The flop was {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{7-Spades}. The big blind checked, Turner bet 1,800, the big blind raised to 5,000, Turner re-raised to 10,000, the big blind four-bet to 20,000, and Turner gave it up.

No worries, he still has over 50,000 in his stack.

Mark Phillipoussis Eliminated

Mark Phillipoussis was all in with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Stewart Yancik made the call holding the very same hand with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. With the players expecting a split pot, the board ran out with four diamonds on the board to give Yancik the nut flush and eliminate Phillipoussis from today's field.
