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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
