Sean Todd - 29th place
Sean Todd - 29th place

From the hijack, Sean Todd moved all in for 83,000, and after some initial hesitation, Gary Benson called in the big blind.

Todd: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Benson: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The dealer spread a {10-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} flop and Benson announced, "that's a pretty good flop!"

The {2-Diamonds} and {3-Spades} completed the board on the turn and river to see Todd eliminated in 29th place as Benson climbed to over 200,000.

Montgomery Over a Million

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We arrived at the table just as Kyle Montgomery bet out 32,000 from the small blind on a {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop. Dejan Boskovic was in the cut off and raised it up to 79,000 which was called.

The {9-Diamonds} came on the turn and Montgomery checked his option. Boskovic reached for his chips and bet out 124,000. Montgomery paused for a moment before raising up to 275,000. Boskovic instantly mucked as Montgomery raked in the large pot.

From the cutoff, Jason Giuliano opened to 16,000 and Dejan Boskovic called from the small blind as the flop fell {4-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Boskovic check-called 30,000.

The turn of the {7-Hearts} was checked through as the {J-Diamonds} on the river was greeted with a third check from Boskovic before Giuliano bet out 75,000.

Boskovic folded and slipped to under 500,000 as Giuliano climbed to 350,000 in chips.

Shack-Harris Applies The Pressure

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Alexander Antonios raised to 13,000 from under the gun and was called by Brandon Shack-Harris in the blinds. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and Shack-Harris checked. Antonios then bet out 16,000 before Shack-Harris came over the top with a raise to 43,000. He called as both watched the {4-Diamonds} drop on the turn.

Shack-Harris sat motionless for over a minute before finally reaching down for his chips and splashing out a bet of 60,000 in chips. Antonios then thought for a minute before finally releasing his hand.

Warne Spins a Double

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Baden Logan opened to 12,000 and Shane Warne raised to 33,000. Logan moved all in for 300,000 and Warne called off his 182,500 total.

Logan: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Warne: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The window card of the {K-Diamonds} would seemingly end the hand until the flop filled out {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades} to give Logan one out to eliminate Warne.

However, the turn and river of the {6-Diamonds} and {2-Diamonds} ended those dreams as Warne doubled to 375,000 and Logan slipped to 135,000 in chips.

Bad Few Minutes for Chia

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Just one hand later, Joachim Chia defended his big blind against a raise by JJ Liu to 13,000 and another player also called to see the flop of {3-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. Chia check-raised from 13,000 to 29,000 and Liu called after making the continuation bet whereas the other player folded. On the {9-Clubs} turn, Chia moved all in and Liu snap-called for her last 102,000 chips.

Chia: {10-Clubs} {5-Clubs}
Liu: {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}

No card could help to avoid a further setback for Chia and he jumped out of his seat while the dealer burned and turned the {4-Diamonds} on the river. Another player on the table said "unlucky there" and Chia simply replied with "it's alright" before sitting down again.
