Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!

Tony Hachem open-shoved his last 299,000 from the cutoff, Roberto Romanello re-shoved from the button, and the blinds released.

Hachem{a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Romanello{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Hachem stood up as the flop fell {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

"Come on," he chanted silently. "Come on."

The {8-Spades} on the turn was another brick, and Hachem remained on his feet. The dealer rapped the table one last time, and spiked the {j-Diamonds} on the river.

"Yes," Hachem said quietly.

Hachem doubled to 610,000, while Romanello sunk to 335,000.

Sabat in Trouble, Phillips Over a Million

Carter Phillips raised under the gun and Eddy Sabat called in the big blind. The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Sabat check-called 38,000.

The turn was the {K-Hearts} and both players checked. On the river the {2-Hearts} hit and Sabat bet 76,000. Phillips decided to raise it up to 204,000 and Sabat went into the tank. After a while he called, and Phillips showed {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a rivered flush.

Sabat is now one of the short stacks while Philips is second in chips.

Katchalov Doubles Through Shorr

From the cutoff Eugene Katchalov decided to move all in for 170,000. Shannon Shorr was in the big blind, and he made the call.

Eugene Katchalov{A-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Shannon Shorr{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, and Katchalov was granted another chance in this event. This is Katchalov's fourth deep run in this year's World Series of Poker, but so far he just missed out on the final table. This could be the one, because with 22 players left he's still in the hunt.
