Xu Pieces Together the Puzzle

Level 28 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Hai Kee limped in from early position off a short stack and Anthony Xu checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came A53 and after Xu checked, Kee shoved 1,700,000 into the pot of around 700,000. Xu had 1,100,000 in his stack and thought long and hard before he called off his stack.

Anthony Xu: 105 All in
Hai Kee: KJ

A great call by Xu to figure that one out, and his play was rewarded after the 48 runout kept his flopped pair of fives in the lead.

Hai Kee called off his stack from the small blind of 145,000 and Dustin Tran had no decision from the big blind.

Hai Kee: 53 All in
Dustin Tran: 85

A crazy flop of 764 gave both players a straight and left Kee drawing to a chop. He couldn't find it as the 5Q runout finally put an end to his PPC run.

Jason Brown Eliminated in 7th Place (A$28,300)

Level 28 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Jason Brown
Jason Brown

Dustin Tran made it 400,000 from under the gun and Jason Brown (AUS) shoved 985,000 from the cutoff. Anthony Xu was in the small blind and shoved around 3,000,000, and the action was back on Tran. After thinking for some time, Tran elected to call to put both shorter stacks at risk.

Jason Brown: QJ All in
Anthony Xu: AK
Dustin Tran: KQ

Xu had a fantastic opportunity to more than double up and make a pay jump. On the other hand, Brown needed to beat two players to triple up and stay alive.

The QKA flop connected with everybody but gave Brown a Royal Flush draw! However, the anti-climatic 37 runout didn't change anything, leaving Brown out in 7th and giving Xu a healthy pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Reece Bedot
Reece Bedot

Daniel Neilson min-raised to 400,000 from under the gun and Reece Bedot shoved the button for 2,900,000. When it got back to Neilson. he called.

Reece Bedot: AQ All in
Daniel Neilson: QQ

Neilson had a chance to extend his chip lead and ladder up the payouts, and took a huge leap toward doing so on the 368 flop. A 10 on the turn left Bedot with one foot out of the door, but he drilled the A on the river to reignite his hopes.

Big, big river for Bedot!

Neilson's Ace-High Good at Showdown

Level 28 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Daniel Neilson made it 400,000 from the cutoff and Reece Bedot peeled from the big blind.

The flop came Q96 and Bedot check-called a bet of 350,000 from Neilson to the 10 turn, where he again went into check-call mode when Neilson bet 1,400,000.

Both knuckled the table on the 9 river and Neilson's AJ was good against Bedot's missed flush draw with 82.
