Billy Argyros was all-in for the last 40,000 and both blinds called to see a flop of A♠10♥9♣. Kwang Nguyen bet 35,000 and Tom McMahon folded in the big blind.

Billy Argyros: K♣J♦ All in
Kwang Nguyen: A♦Q♦

"Is there any way to give him two pair?" The Croc asked but the 6♦ turn and 8♣ river were both blanks.

William Lim limped in the hijack, and Aaron Hafeel raised to 18,000 on the button. Lim asked for a look at Hafeel's remaining stack and stuck in the call.

Aaron Hafeel: K♣K♦ All in
William Lim: J♠4♠

Lim announced that he held a four, and Hafeel stood up while the 10♦ turn and J♣ river as his kinds were cracked.

Huntly Falls to Mohajerani

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Dennis Huntly
Dennis Huntly

Farhad Mohajerani had started the day as one of the larger stacks and lost some of those. However, he has moved back to where he was after a clash with Dennis Huntly when he defended the big blind and they got it in after the 10♠8♠5♣A♣ turn.

Dennis Huntly: 7♣6♣ All in
Farhad Mohajerani: 8♦5♥

Huntly had an open-ended straight draw and the flush draw to boot, but the K♠ river was the wrong black card.

Hassan Near the Top

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

Cameron Lawless is no longer in contention on a table that now features one of the biggest stacks in the field, which happens to be Idris Hassan. There is another player with the exact same name that also visits Crown Melbourne from time to time, but he "doesn't come as often" and the one playing right now considers himself to be the "OG".

It was a flip with A♣10♥ versus 6♦6♥ and the K♥10♦8♦ flop paired up Hassan, two blanks followed.

Freer Bets Out Bell

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Andrew Freer
Andrew Freer

Andrew Freer raised to 14,000 in middle position, and Troy Bell made the call as next to act. The big blind also called to see the J♦5♦10♥ flop, and Freer continued for 17,000. Only Bell continued with a call, and Freer checked the 2♠ turn.

Bell slid out 17,000, and Freer took a moment before making the call. Freer then led out on the 10♦ river, making a bet of 70,000. Bell used a time bank card before opting to let his hand go, and Freer added more chips to his stack.

Cusenza No More

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

The seat that belonged to Adam Cusenza is empty and the chips went to Li Tam shortly before their table broke. Tam's Q♦Q♣ were ahead versus J♦J♥ and no surprise came on the K♠7♥2♥5♦6♦ board.

Zhang Holds Against Huntly

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Farhad Mohajerani raised to 10,000 in the cutoff, and Bobby Zhang moved all in for 47,500 from the small blind. Dennis Huntly then shoved for more in the big blind, and Mohajerani got out of the way.

Bobby Zhang: 10♣10♥ All in
Dennis Huntly: A♥Q♥

Huntly picled up additional outs on the 7♠9♥6♥ flop, but Zhang held through the 7♦ turn and 7♣ river to score the double-up.
