Kimber Busts Last Hand Before Break
Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
A huge pot at the end of Level 4 has handed Hamza Nasir the chip lead and eliminated Jeff Kimber in the process. A three-bet preflop pot (from 1,900 to 5,600) saw three players see a 
flop with over half a starting stack in the middle already. The third player checked, Nasir led out 10,000 and Kimber called.
The turn: 
. Nasir fired another 20,000 and Kimber called once more.
The river: 
. Nasir moved all in for 19,500 and after a bit of a think, Kimber called all-in for slightly less.
Nasir showed down 
and though Kimber mucked it was not before the 
flashed. He now has 15 minutes to regroup, re-enter and rejoin battle at the felt.

Herbertson's Chance to Triple Evaporates on the Turn
Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
Paul Herbertson has been eliminated after moving all-in on a three-way flop of 
for 4,900 (around pot), called by both opponents. The action accompanying the 
turn could not have given him much confidence: the player first to act bet out 5,000 and was raised to 10,000 by Dawn Burnip. After the first player folded, Herbertson tabled 
and announced with calm understatement, "That'll do," when he saw the 
in her hand. He was drawing dead, tapped the table and made his exit.

Good River for Day Equals Bad River for Moneymaker
Level 3
: 200/300, 300 ante
A hand that started cagily four-way ended up denting Chris Moneymaker's stack. Glenn Day made the first optional action with a limp in the cutoff for 300. Button Jeff Kimber raised to 1,000, picking up both blinds (Filippo Scialo and Moneymaker) and Day for the flop: 
. Four checks later, a turn: . Again, no one exercised their right to put any more chips into the pot.
The river, however, saw action. When the came down, Scialo led out for 1,000 and Moneymaker raised to 6,500. Day immediately threw in the call while Scialo passed. Moneymaker called his opponent's hand: "Guess you got a straight. So do I..." but the bad news was that it was the nut version.
Moneymaker: 
Day: 
"Good river!" announced Day, raking in the pot.
"Very bad river," countered Moneymaker.

Downer Unafraid of Sharks
Level 3
: 200/300, 300 ante
Colin Downer, who played yesterday's Day 1a, is back in action in the early levels of a fresh flight, undaunted by playing out of position with a shark-themed Chris Moneymaker. They recently saw a flop of 
, Downer swiftly check-raising Moneymaker's 3,000 bet to 11,000.
"Pocket threes?" mused Moneymaker, before throwing his hand away.

Tang Didn't Come Here To Fold
Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
Tin Tang kept up the pressure on Alexander Walton at the end of Level 2, three-betting to 2,500 preflop in position, then firing 3,100 on the 
flop. Walton check-called the flop bet, then checked again on the 
turn. Tang immediately threw in the rest of his stack (which was nearly a full 30,000 at start of play; he was a late registrant) and Walton declined to call off 22,000.

Scales Spikes Set
Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
A pot of 7,300 had already grown between Alexander Scales (small blind) and cutoff Paula Hautvast on a 
board when a 5,000 value chip came into play, bet out by Scales. Hautvast thought for a short while before throwing in the call. The river was the 
. Out led Scales again, this time for 10,000. Hautvast, previously so gregarious, grew serious as she considered the bet, chip riffling pensively. Finally, she threw in a chip representing a call for over a third of her remaining stack.
"Set," announced Scales, showing down 
. "Did you have two pair?"
Hautvast nodded.
