Liu Eliminates Klinger

Dan O'Hair

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel Klinger raised to 42,000 — leaving himself a single t-500 chip behind. Just behind him, Ling Liu re-raised and every one else got out of the way. Klinger called all in and hands were revealed.

Daniel Klinger: K♦9♦ All in
Ling Liu: K♠J♣

Klinger found himself dominated, and the A♠A♥J♥7♠8♦ runout left Liu best with aces and jacks for the knockout.

Ling Liu	180,000 118,000	118,000

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action was picked up on the turn with the board reading A♦K♠7♥5♥ with around 35,000 in the middle. Lachlan Crilly fired out 25,000 from the big blind and Kahle Burns called on the button.

When the K♦ paired the board on the river, Crilly checked and Burns took some time before he bet 41,000. It was Crilly's turn to think and after a while, he called.

Burns then showed the rockets with A♠A♣, and Crilly's A♥9♥ went into the bin.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kahle Burns	1,300,000 290,000	290,000

Lachlan Crilly	180,000 102,500	102,500

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a flop of K♠9♥2♠, Adam Kharman had his final 27,000 in the middle and was called by Andrew White. Dale Marsland then put in a raise, White shoved, and Marsland called.

Adam Kharman: K♦2♦ All in
Andrew White: K♣Q♦ All in
Dale Marsland: Q♠J♠

Marsland had a gutshot plus a flush draw and could eliminate two players if he connected with either. Kharman was the favorite for a triple-up but suddenly was staring elimination in the face when the 4♠ fell on the turn, giving Marsland a flush. The 5♠ river changed nothing, and both Kharman & White headed to the payout desk.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dale Marsland	550,000 227,000	227,000
Adam Kharman	Busted
Andrew White	Busted

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a board of 6♦4♥10♠A♥, there were around 30,000 chips in the middle when Ilavenil Arumugam checked from the big blind and Collin Tran fired out 14,000 from early position. Liam Jehu was sitting in middle position and called, then Arumugam also came along.

The 9♦ completed the board and again Arumugam checked, the Tran bet 29,000. Jehu wasted little time in dropping in a call, and Arumugam quickly folded.

Tran then showed that he rivered two pair with A♣9♣, and Jehu looked disgusted as he flicked his cards into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Collin Tran	460,000 128,000	128,000
Ilavenil Arumugam	450,000 69,000	69,000
Liam Jehu	200,000 155,000	155,000

Level: 13

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Ante: 6,000
