Andrew Zhang Eliminated in 9th Place (A$7,330)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Andrew Zhang

Andrew Zhang jammed once to steal the blinds and antes, and he was then in the big blind next. Michael Oscuro raised the button and snap-called the shove of Zhang for around 13 big blinds.

Andrew Zhang: {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Michael Oscuro: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop was not of much help yet, however, the {5-Diamonds} turn gave Zhang an additional gutshot. It was not meant to be, as the {2-Spades} fell on the river to send Zhang to the rail in 9th place for A$7,330.

Tran Takes More Off Oscuro

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Oscuro bet the {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} river for 100,000 and Tu Tran quickly called.

Oscuro was caught bluffing with the {q-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Tran tabled {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a set.

One hand later, Oscuro in the small blind raised to 25,000 and Adrian Salter jammed the big blind. Oscuro asked for a count and reluctantly folded when it was deemed to be for 459,000 total.

"Ace-king?" Oscuro asked and Salter replied with a "better than that" before offering to show one card. Oscuro picked the left one and the {k-Diamonds} was revealed.

"Kings? Nice size," Tran replied.
