Stop And Go Takes Chips From Gross

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Jeff Gross opened to 1,700 from the cutoff and the big blind opted to call, leaving himself 5,200 chips behind.

The heads-up duo watched on as the {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds} fop came into view.

"All-in," said the player in the big blind.

"Stop and go?" quizzed Gross before calling.

Gross was ahead with his {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs} although the {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} of his opponent had a few outs. The {5-Clubs} turn wasn't one of them, but the {6-Spades} river was and Gross handed over 5,200 chips.

Bubble Is Rapidly Approaching

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The television screens around the room are reading "Players left - 270" and with 243 places paid that means the bubble is fast approaching. Who will be the unfortunate soul to burst the bubble? We don't have long to wait to find out.

Lichtenberger Doubles With Nines

Andrew Lichtenberger

Andrew Lichtenberger has a little more breathing room after doubling up moments ago. He found himself all-in with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, but in good shape against his opponent's {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

A nine-friendly board reading {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} saw Lichtenberger win the pot and his stack had a boost to 10,000.

Terry Cracks Kings To Double Up

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante
Todd Terry
Todd Terry

Todd Terry is closing in on 60,000 chips after getting very fortunate against a pair of kings.

Facing a raise and a three-bet, Terry looked down at {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and four-bet all-in for 27,100. The intial raiser folded, but the three-bettor tanked before making the call.

Terry didn't look too pleased to find his queens going up against {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, but that soon changed as the {Q-Clubs} was the first card onto the flop, followed by {9-Spades} and {6-Spades}. The {10-Hearts} and {7-Spades} landed on the turn and river and suddenly Terry is up their with the big stacks.

Big Stack Watch; Alan Clunie Leads

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

With the day rapidly drawing to a close, we've been looking out for the larger stacks in the room and have found some real big ones out there.

Cy Williams was busy texting someone that he has 82,000 chips, while Julius Malzanini finds himself with 75,000 in his stack. The largest stack by far belongs to Alan Clunie who has amassed 110,000 chips!

No Action For the Brits

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

James Atkin is attempting to chip up but doesn't seem to be getting action on his all-in bets. Just now, Atkin open-shoved from middle position and won the blinds and antes after nobody wanted to look him up.

At the other side of the room, Scotland's Niall Farrell is doing two things that he does best: (1) Adding to his stack and (2) drinking beer. He raised to 1,300 and nobody wanted to come along for the ride, so Farrell took his bet back and added the blinds and antes to his stack.
