Edita Dulko opened to 3,500 preflop. Action passed to Chris Fraser on the button, who moved all in for 19,000.
"I have the best hand," offered Fraser, "What do you have?"
"Can I say?" asked Dulko.
"Yes, but you lose aggressive action on the next street," joked Fraser.
"I have a pretty hand..."
"Pretty, or is it good?"
"Pretty good."
In the end she did not deem it good enough to make the call and asked Fraser to show the winning hand. Fraser said, "Pick one, they're both the same," and showed the 
.
"That beats me already, that's good," Dulko told him.

Short once more, Thomas Dunwoodie moved all in for 8,400 on a flop of 
. He was called in one spot before action passed to the third player in the hand, Paul Kirkham, who re-shoved for around 50,000. This prompted a clearly reluctant fold from the first caller.
Dunwoodie: 
for an up-and-down straight draw.
Kirkham: 
for a winning king-high with diamonds.
The turn and river (
) double paired Kirkham to send Dunwoodie to the rail. The third player was not best pleased, saying, "I call, you're in trouble. I was ahead until the river - I folded a ten."

Jereld Sam opened preflop to 3,000, called by button Zac Aynsley and big blind Thomas Peggs. He continued for 5,500 when Peggs checked the 
flop and Aynsley folded. Back to Peggs, who raised to 12,800, finding Sam immediately setting him in for 35,800 total. Peggs snap-called, having flopped the world with

The turn was an irrelevant but the 
river briefly set pulses aflutter before it was noticed that this made Peggs a flush.

The average stack in Level 9 is 42,000, and that's precisely what Niall Farrell would be playing, if he were in his seat. The lure of watching sports down the road for an hour has proven too tempting and he's sat the last level out entirely.
"My stack is probably better off without me," he said as he left the building.

Players are taking their second break of the day, and the sand is running out of the re-entry egg timer. Just 15 minutes left!
A short stacked-player was all in preflop, betting on the side between Steven Daglish (fresh off his re-entry) and Edita Dulko.
Flop: 
. Daglish moved all in for 23,600, Dulko made the call with what turned out to be the nut flush draw.
All in player: 
Daglish: 
Dulko: 
Daglish faded hearts over the 
turn and river, busted the all-in player despite having started the hand dominated and doubled to a healthy 56,000. Dulko, meanwhile, rued the swingy nature of tournament No Limit Hold'em: "I just doubled up! Back to starting stack."
"As long as I faded the snap-call," Daglish said, "I was fine!"
