Weiran Pu raised to 30,000 from under the gun and Benjamin LeBlond three-bet from the small blind to 130,000. Pu then shoved 275,000, and LeBlond called.
Weiran Pu: A♣A♠
Benjamin LeBlond: A♦10♠
Pu was miles ahead with his aces but LeBlond did pick up outs when the flop came 4♦9♥10♥. However no more tens appeared as the runout came 9♣5♥, earning Pu a double!

Shan Huang had been short-stacked for quite some time and finally got his last 200,000 into the middle. Kahle Burns made the call.
Shan Huang: 7♥7♦
Kahle Burns: J♦J♠
Huang was crushed by the overpair of Burns and didn't find much help on the 2♥2♣A♠ flop. A 9♠ on the turn left him with one more shot at two outs, but the seven from heaven didn't appear as the Q♣ filled out the board.

Joseph Antar made it 30,000 from the hijack and Kahle Burns three-bet the cutoff to 90,000. Once it got back to Antar, he called.
The flop came 3♥8♥2♣ and Antar check-called a bet of 110,000 from Burns to see the 6♠ drop on the turn. Again Antar checked, and again Burns fiired, this time for 200,000. Antar took close to two minutes before he opted to shove around 800,000. Burns snap-folded.

With around 150,000 in the pot on a full board of A♦10♣K♥2♦9♣, Liam Jehu in the small checked and Kahle Burns on the button bet 100,000.
Jehu then took some time before he check-raised to 205,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. It was Burns' turn to go into the tank and after some consideration, he called.
Jehu then showed the flopped the nuts with Q♦J♣, and Burns mucked.

Joshua McSwiney made it 35,000 to go from early position and Banipal Babana shoved around 125,000 from the big blind. McSwiney snap-called.
Banipal Babana: A♥10♣
Joshua McSwiney: 9♦9♠
Babana needed to win the flip to stay in contention but was left drawing extremely thin after the 2♥Q♦9♣ flop gave McSwiney middle set. The 7♥ turn left Babana dead, and the meaningless 5♥ filled out the board.

A reminder to tune into the stream to follow along the action live on the official Australian Poker Open Facebook page.
Benjamin LeBlond raised the button to 25,000 and Weiran Pu defended his big blind to see a flop of 8♣A♥8♥, where Pu check-called a bet of 25,000.
Both checked the 8♠ turn to the 5♥ river, where Pu checked again and LeBlond quickly fired out 65,000. Pu just as quickly folded, and LeBlond picked up some more chips.
