Zac Vigar Eliminated in 7th Place (A$13,000)

Level 32 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Zac Vigar
Zac Vigar

Zac Vigar shoved from the hijack for 3,400,000 and after thinking for a while, Welyam Gelyana put in the call from the cutoff.

Zac Vigar: K♦9♦ All in
Welyam Gelyana: J♠10♣

Vigar was ahead with his king-high but probably didn't feel too comfortable seeing the hand of his opponent, especially after the 6♠8♠2♠ from gave Gelyana a flush draw. That flush completed when the 4♠ hit the turn, and a fifth spade, the A♠, landed on the river.

A great run from Vigar, who couldn't really get anything going on this final table.

Van Jaarsveldt Shoves the Turn

Level 32 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Michael O'Grady bumped it up to 1,000,000 from early position with K♣Q♥ and Corey van Jaarsveldt defended from the big blind holding Q♦9♠.

Both checked the 5♥9♦8♥ flop to the 4♠ turn, where van Jaarsveldt shoved for 3,300,000 with his pair of nines. O'Grady quickly folded.

O’Grady Lets It Fly with a Windmill Bluff, Regains Chip Lead

Level 31 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Michael O'Grady
Michael O'Grady

Michael O'Grady opened to 800,000 from the cutoff with Q♠J♦, and Welyam Gelyana responded with a three-bet to 2,500,000 out of the small blind holding 9♥9♦. O'Grady made the call.

The flop came 4♠K♠6♠, and Gelyana continued his aggressive line with a bet of 3,000,000—consistent with his play all day. O'Grady quickly called, bringing the A♣ on the turn. Undeterred, Gelyana fired again for 3,000,000, and O'Grady matched it once more.

The river 8♥ saw a change of pace as Gelyana checked. O'Grady seized the opportunity, sliding out a bet of 7,000,000. Gelyana didn’t take long before letting his hand go, and O'Grady theatrically windmilled his cards into the air, landing face-up in front of his opponent. Gelyana could only nod in respect, acknowledging the gutsy bluff.

Shahikarijani Gets a Continuation-Bet Through

Level 31 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Majid Shahikarijani picked up 7♥7♣ from under the gun and raised to 900,000. Zac Vigar looked down at K♣Q♣ in the small blind and called, as did Welyam Gelyana in the big blind with 9♦7♠.

The flop came down 8♣K♠A♦ and after Vigar and Gelyana checked, Shahikarijani bet 1,200,000. Vigar thought for some time with his king and decided to fold, and Shahikarijani also mucked.

Samoa Rivers Trips

Level 31 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Michael O'Grady raised with 4♠4♦ from under the gun and Zac Vigar called from the next seat with A♦K♣. Andrew Samoa was in the big blind with 7♠5♠ and also called.

All three checked the J♥Q♦8♥ flop to see the 5♦ turn. Samoa took the chance to lead out with his pair and bet 800,000, which got O'Grady out of the way. Vigar, however, called.

A 5♥ gave Samoa trips but also brought in the flush draw, which perhaps scared Samoa as he checked and Vigar checked back, allowing Samoa to take it down with trips.

Gelyana Wins Battle of the Same Hand, Takes the Chip Lead

Level 31 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Andrew Samoa raised to 800,000 from the cutoff with Q♣10♥ and Welyam Gelyana defended his big blind holding the same hand with Q♠10♦.

Both flopped an open-ender on the J♥9♠3♥ flop and Gelyana led out for 1,200,000, which Samoa called to see the 5♣ drop on the turn. Again Gelyana bet, this time for 2,200,000, and Samoa reluctantly folded.

Gelyana is now the chip leader!
