A search for a few players featured earlier reveals empty seats where they used to be - they're now being filled with a table break.

Fraser Shoves Prompting Banter with Dulko

Level 10 : 800/1,500, 1,500 ante

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 {k-Hearts}.

"That beats me already, that's good," Dulko told him.

Kirkham Busts Dunwoodie

Level 10 : 800/1,500, 1,500 ante

Short once more, Thomas Dunwoodie moved all in for 8,400 on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. 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: {4-Spades}{7-Clubs} for an up-and-down straight draw.
Kirkham: {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a winning king-high with diamonds.

The turn and river ({4-Hearts}{k-Clubs}) 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."

Sam Picks Wrong Moment to Apply Pressure on Peggs

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

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 {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} 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 {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}; Sam showed down {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

The turn was an irrelevant {4-Diamonds} but the {9-Hearts} river briefly set pulses aflutter before it was noticed that this made Peggs a flush.

Farrell AWOL, Stack Still Exactly Average

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

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.

Daglish Doubles, Dulko Drops

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A short stacked-player was all in preflop, betting on the side between Steven Daglish (fresh off his re-entry) and Edita Dulko.

Flop: {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Daglish moved all in for 23,600, Dulko made the call with what turned out to be the nut flush draw.

All in player: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Daglish: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Dulko: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Daglish faded hearts over the {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} 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!"
