Jonathan Karamalikis Eliminated in 7th Place - AU$7,560

Jonathan Karamalikis - 7th Place
Jonathan Karamalikis - 7th Place
Jonathan Karamalikis raised pre-flop to 5,300 from middle position and George Palavos re-raised to 18,600 from the cutoff. Karamalikis then shoved for the last of his chips and Palavos made the call.

Karamalikis: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Palavos: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The flop arrived {4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Palavos took the lead in the hand with a pair of kings. With no heart in either hand, Karamalikis was in need of one of the two remaining ladies in the deck to survive. Unfortunately for Karamalikis the turn brought the {4-Spades} and river {3-Diamonds} to eliminate him from today's final table in 7th place for a collect of A$7,560.

In no time at all, Anna Wroblewski has reclaimed her lost blinds and stamped her authority on this final table!

Chris Chronis Extends Chip Lead

Chris Chronis and Harris Pavlou saw a flop of {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} to which both players check. Chronis then fired out an 18,000 pot-sized bet on the turn of the {3-Spades}. Pavlou made a quick call as we headed to the river with a large pot brewing. The river brought the {A-Spades} and Chronis quickly fires another pot-sized bet, this time for 54,000. Pavlou thought for a moment before folding as Chronis adds a nice pot to his impressive stack.

Harris Pavlou Reclaims Old Friends

Anna Wroblewski opens the action pre-flop with a raise to 5,000 from the hijack position, and finds callers in Harris Pavlou on the button and Chris Chronis in the big blind.

They see a flop of {10-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and the action checks around to Pavlou who makes it 15,000 to go. Chronis calls from the big blind and Wroblewski steps out of the way.

The turn is the {5-Spades} and after come clarification about the size of the current pot, Pavlou fires 40,000 into the middle. Chronis considers the decision before laying down his hand and Pavlou recoups some of his old chips!

David Gorr Flops The Nuts

David Gorr raises it up pre-flop from the button to 8,000 and Anna Wroblewski re-pops it to 22,000 from the small blind. Gorr makes the call and we see a flop of {8-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

Wroblewski leads out with a continuation bet of 25,000 and Gorr quickly shoves the rest of his chips in the middle. Wroblewski lays down her hand and Gorr kindly flashes {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the flopped nut straight! Gorr has been pretty quiet so far today, but collects a healthy pot.

Chronis vs Pavlou III

Chris Chronis and Harris Pavlou have been constantly duelling on today's final table, and Pavlou is slowly gaining the ascendency. With the board reading {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} Chronis checked the river after betting heavily on all previous streets, and Pavlou was happy to check behind. Pavlou showed {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for trip nines which was good enough to scoop a pot worth close to 100,000 in chips!
