Casualties and Counts After Dinner

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ehsan Amiri "made a move that didn't work out" as his opponent didn't want to fold pocket tens, and Amiri headed out of the tournament area. He was joined on the rail by Julien Sitbon, while Minh Nguyen and Jarryd Godena had been eliminated before the dinner break already.

Big Stacks on Same Table

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Brian O'Farrell
Brian O'Farrell

Brian O'Farrell, Matthew Wakeman, Guangyu Wang and Navid King all share the same table with Wakeman on almost double the starting stack and on the shorter side of things compared to the big stacks. O'Farrell appears to be the current chip leader.

Kondevski Eliminated by Kehoe

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Todor Kondevski started his last hand with around 16,000 in chips and Dylan Kehoe three-bet to 7,000. Bassam Habib had invested 2,500 until then and folded, while Kondevski moved all in and was snap-called by Kehoe.

Todor Kondevski: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Dylan Kehoe: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The {a-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop left Kondevski in need of a miracle and it was all over after the {j-Spades} turn, which made the {k-Clubs} river a formality.

The Defending Champion Falls Again

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Nebojsa Blanusa
Nebojsa Blanusa

Nebojsa Blanusa shoved from mid-position for 30,600 and so did Adam Kharman in the late position for 90,400 for the rest of the table to fold.

Nebojsa Blanusa: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Adam Kharman: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts} for them both to hit a pair and Broadway draw but keep Kharman ahead.

The flop was the {5-Spades} to not change things and neither did the {9-Spades} on the river as the defending champion was eliminated on his second bullet in the Main Event.

Anthony Boskovitz joined the table shortly after to fill the empty seat.

Blight Doubles Through Marsland

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Dale Marsland raised to 2,200 and Steve Pesce called. Craig Blight jammed for 15,900 and Marsland went all in over the top for 21,700, Pesce folded.

Craig Blight: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Dale Marsland: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

"If I lose, it at least goes to a nice guy," Blight said in table chat. His pocket pair would however hold up on the {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Marsland lost his last six big blinds shortly after.

Michael Busts; Sarkis More Than Doubles

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Andrew Michael
Andrew Michael

Andrew Michael shoved from under the gun and so did Jason Sarkis from the small blind for a bit more. Laurence Hall called in the big blind, having both of his opponents covered.

Andrew Michael: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Jason Sarkis: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Laurence Hall: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} with the ten in the window to give Sarkis a set and for both Michael and Hall a straight draw.

The turn was the {a-Spades} which didn't change things much and neither did the {7-Clubs} on the river as Michael was eliminated and Sarkis earned a full double-up through Hall.

Vesko Zmukic joined the feature table to take Michael's old seat.

Anthony Boskovitz: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Jason Sarkis: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for Boskovitz to stay ahead and for Sarkis to pick up the flush draw.

Hall Doubles Through Tran

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Laurence Hall raised from the middle position and action folded to Michael Tran in the small blind who three-bet to 9,200. Hall decided to respond with a shove which Tran called after taking some time to consider his options.

Laurence Hall: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Michael Tran: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The flop came {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for Hall to pick up the flush draw but to keep Tran ahead.

The turn was the {j-Clubs} to give Hall a pair of jacks but it also gave Tran the tens as extra outs for a Broadway to eliminate Hall.

The river completed the board with the {2-Spades} to secure the double-up for Hall as his turned pair of jacks were good.
