Chick Binks the River Again

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Ardi Jaya
Ardi Jaya

Ardi Jaya jammed the cutoff for 39,000 and Murray Chick called out of the small blind.

Ardi Jaya: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Murray Chick: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop improved jaya and Chick said "a queen will do."

Instead, he went runner-runner again with the {9-Spades} turn and {3-Spades} river to hit yet another flush against Jaya.

Egan Eliminated by Lassau

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Michael Egan
Michael Egan

Michael Egan was all in before the flop for what appeared to be 140,000 and tabled the {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}, while Mark Lassau had {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

Nothing changed on the {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop, but Egan turned the {a-Clubs} to take the lead. Some groans came from the table when the {q-Hearts} river restored the preflop order and sent Egan to the rail in 60th place.

Lassau then lost some of his profit in the last hand of the level when chip leader Joe Antar scooped a pot with {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} on a king-high board.

Chick Goes Runner Runner For the Double

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Murray Chick min-raised to 12,000 and called the shove of Ardi Jaya in the small blind.

Chick tabled the {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and Jaya was ahead with {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop all but sealed the fate of Chick, and he said just one word. "Hearts."

The {7-Hearts} turn and {10-Hearts} river brought the miracle flush and he doubled.

Fazzino Bubbles the Main Event Against One Outer

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Salvatore Fazzino (cap) bubbles The Star Sydney Champs Main Event
Salvatore Fazzino (cap) bubbles The Star Sydney Champs Main Event

Chip leader Joe Antar raised and Salvatore Fazzino just called out of the big blind to see a {j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, on which he check-called a bet of 6,000. Fazzino check-called another bet of 15,000 on the {3-Diamonds} turn and the {5-Diamonds} came on the river.

Fazzino checked and Antar pushed all in. Fazzino had around 300,000 behind and sigh-called after some consideration.

Antar rolled over {9-Hearts}{5-Spades} for quads and the jaws of all players on the table dropped when Fazzino showed his {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for jacks full flopped, pushed his chips to the dealer and silently walked away.
