Bernard Beh Eliminated in 20th Place (AU$5,591)

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Bernard Beh
Bernard Beh

Bernard Beh was one of the shortest stacks left and moved all in for 19,000 chips from middle position. The action folded to Piyush Gupta in the small blind and he moved all in over the top, Kahle Burns folded his big blind.

Gupta had {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} and Beh was drawing to two outs with pocket jacks. After the turn of an {A-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} board, there was no card anymore that could help Beh and he headed to the payout desk to collect AU$5,591 for his efforts.

David Bowen Eliminated in 21st Place (AU$5,591)

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
David Bowen
David Bowen

Aaron Lim min-raised from the button to 6,000 and David Bowen defended his big blind to see the heads-up flop of {9-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {3-Diamonds}. Bowen check-called 7,000 and then check-raised all in for approximately 60,000 when the {7-Spades} appeared on the turn. Lim snap.called and Bowen immediately knew that was bad news.

Lim: {8-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}
Bowen: {7-Clubs} {9-Clubs}

It was the perfect setup card that saw the two players clash and Bowen could not improve anymore to a full house with the {4-Spades} as final community card.

George Danzer Eliminated in 22nd Place (AU$4,754)

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
George Danzer
George Danzer

Kahle Burns moved all in for 25,000 from the cutoff and George Danzer moved all in from the small blind to isolate successfully with the superior stack.

Burns: {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Danzer: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

The {J-Spades} {6-Spades} {3-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} board left the German with less than 10 big blinds and he moved all in two hands later from the cutoff. Luke Brabin called very quickly out of the big blind and turned over {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}. "You got a chance," the Australian said with a smile on the face.

Danzer held {7-Spades} {9-Hearts} and indeed improved on the {9-Spades} {8-Spades} {4-Clubs} flop. It was all over on the {J-Spades} turn though and the meaningless {A-Clubs} river completed the board. The German quickly ran towards the cashier to late register for the AU$2,200 Event #2 that is about to restart into level seven.

Gijs Voppen Eliminated in 23rd Place (AU$4,754)

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Gijs Voppen
Gijs Voppen

Andrew Chang min-raised from the button and Gijs Voppen moved all in out of the big blind. Chang snap-called for 49,100 and was covered by his opponent. Voppen picked the worst possible timing to push with {J-Spades} {10-Hearts}, as Chang turned over {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} and was secured the double up by the turn of a {7-Spades} {7-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} board already.

Down to only a couple of big blinds, Voppen folded his small blind to a raise of David Bowen and pushed the next hand from the button for 7,700. James Kinnane carefully grabbed the chips for a call and did so with {6-Hearts} {5-Spades}. Again Voppen would be quite unlucky despite getting it in good this time.

His {K-Spades} {4-Clubs} made two pair on the {9-Spades} {3-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {4-Hearts} turn, but the {2-Hearts} on the river gave Kinnane a straight.

Noah Novick Eliminated in 24th Place (AU$4,754)

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Noah Novick
Noah Novick

Noah Novick moved all in from middle position for approximately 20,000 in chips and was called by Thomas Gleeson in the big blind.

Novick: {K-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}
Gleeson: {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}

The {J-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {7-Spades} flop left Novick little hope of a comeback story and he needed running fives in order to win the pot. The {5-Spades} on the turn was a start but the {A-Diamonds} on the river shattered the dreams of a miracle.

Chris Vlahos
Chris Vlahos

On one of the first hands back from the dinner break, Chris Vlahos was eliminated in 26th place. Vlahos three-bet shoved all in out of the big blind with pocket tens for less than 40,000 in chips and initial raiser Ryan Hong called with pocket kings to score the elimination.

Vlahos took home AU$4,094 for his run and 25 players remain.

We Lose Dan Heimiller

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Dan Heimiller
Dan Heimiller

It was pretty much a deja vu from what we just witnessed. Dan Heimiller open-shoved for 20,100 from the button and Piyush Gupta one seat over made the call whereas Jamie Pickering folded the big blind.

Heimiller: {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Gupta: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

The dealer had no heart for Heimiller except on the river of a {10-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} {2-Hearts} board. "Ah well. Where is the money?" Heimiller said before heading to the floorman and pick up his payout.

Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari Disappears

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Antonio Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari

Antonio Esfandiari was once crippled to 725 in chips on Day 1b, but he ran it back up to finish on around 12,000 and bring that into Day 2. Esfandiari managed to make his way to the money, but his quest for a fourth World Series of Poker gold bracelet has come to an end short of the goal.

Esfandiari was all in for the {A-Spades}{9-Spades} against the {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for "Toothpick" Tony Kambouroglou. Esfandiari flopped the lead when it came {9-}{6-}{6-} and held through a {Q-} turn, but a {J-} on the river delivered Kambouroglou with the winning hand.
