Kinnane Doubles Through Chang

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

From early position, Andrew Chang raised to 6,000. Play folded over to James Kinnane on the button, and he reraised all in for an even 20,000. After the blinds folded, Chang made the call holding the {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}. Kinnane had the {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

The {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Spades}{2-Hearts} board gave Kinnane a full house, and he doubled up. Chang was left with just under 100,000.

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.

Sixes for Brabin

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

Thomas Gleeson and Luke Brabin checked the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop, and then Ryan Hong bet 8,500. Gleeson folded, but Brabin called.

The turn was the {10-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {J-Spades} fall on the river. Both players checked again.

Brabin showed the {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, and he won the pot.

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.

McAllister Picks One Up

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

Brian McAllister and David Bowen checked the {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop over to Aaron Lim, who is looking to become the first two-time World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific bracelet winner after capturing his first piece of gold last year here in Melbourne. Lim bet 7,600, and both McAllister and Bowen called.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, and all three players checked. That brought about the {K-Spades} river card, and McAllister led with a bet of 19,500. Bowen and Lim both folded, and McAllister picked up the pot.

Hong Cracks Aces in Monster Pot

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

Ryan Hong opened the action with a raise to 5,000 from early position and Noah Novick three-bet small to 10,000 out of the big blind. Hong called to see the {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades} flop and Novick bet 20,000. Hong raised to 55,000 and pretty much committed himself to call off the shove of Novick.

Hong: {5-Spades} {4-Spades}
Novick: {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}

A gutshot and flush draw for Hong, who immediately improved with the {K-Spades} on the turn. It was not over yet though as an ace, eight or spade would make Novick the better hand. The {4-Hearts} on the river was a brick and the biggest pot of the tournament so far went to Hong.
