Hand #12 - David Steicke

The button is in Seat 5 with Rayan Nathan.

David Steicke raises from under-the-gun making it 20,000 to go. Anna Wroblewski comes over the top for an additional

Wroblewski: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Steicke: {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Wroblewski hides under the table and cannot look as the cards are dealt. The board lands {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{5-Spades} and the crowd sighs as fan favorite Wroblewski cops an ugly beat. Wroblewski takes it well as she lets out a cry of "That's bullcrap!" - with a smile!

Hand #15 - Julian Powell

The button is in Seat 8 with David Steicke.

The action folds to Julian Powell who completes his small blind. Pedley checks from the big blind.

The players check down the board of {Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} until the river, when Powell fires out 8,000 to which Pedley calls.

Powell shows {J-Hearts}{9-Spades} for rivered straight to take down the pot.

Tequila Time

Anna Wroblewski has turned to tequlia to help ease the pain of her last bad beat, as she's just ordered a shot of Patron with some salt and a lime from the cocktail server.

"I just hope my shot gets here before I bust," she said.

Hand #16 - Chop Chop

The button is in Seat 9 with Julian Powell.

Robert Wang raises under-the-gun to 15,000 and David Steicke calls from the cutoff. The other players fold and we see a flop.

Flop: {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and both players check.

Turn: {8-Spades} and both players check again.

River: {4-Diamonds} and they both check for a third time and flip their cards. Both players show A-9 and they chop up the pot!

Hand #17 - David Bach Eliminated in 8th Place - AU$15,780

David Bach - 8th Place
David Bach - 8th Place
The button is in Seat 1 with Michael Pedley.

David Bach has been playing patiently so far but finds some cards worthy of an opening raise to 20,000. David Steicke insta-calls and Julian Powell announces a raise, shoving all of his remaining chips across the betting line. Bach makes the call and Steicke gets out of the way:

Bach: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Powell: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board runs out {Q-Spades}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and a miracle king on the river eliminates Bach from today's event in 8th place for a payday of AU$15,780.
