No Limit Hold'em

The very next hand game mode was switched to Hold'em and the action folded to Rory Young in the small blind. He moved all in and Brian Rast in the big blind peeked at his cards before calling off his short stack.

Rast: {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts}
Young: {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}

The {3-Hearts} {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} flop saw Rast remaining in the lead but that suddenly changed when the {6-Diamonds} appeared on the turn. Only one of the two remaining eights in the deck could save him, the {A-Hearts} on the river was a blank and Rast was eliminated in 3rd place for AU$ 18,482.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Sam Khouiss opened to 4,000 from under the gun and David Zhao called in the big blind before leading for 8,000 on the {7-Clubs}{A-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop. Khouiss announced a bet of pot and Zhao moved all in with Khouiss calling the additional few thousand.

Khouiss: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Zhao: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Although both players held the same made hand with top and bottom pair, Khouiss had the best draw with his bigger flush draw.

The dealer dropped the {Q-Clubs} on the turn to give Khouiss the pot with the {2-Clubs} unable to provide a chop for Zhao on the river as he hit the rail in 4th place for an AU$13,462 payday.
