Level 4
: 300/600, 600 ante
A regular in the AUS$2/3 cash games at The Star Sydney, Luis Arrilucea won his seat into this event for AU$1,100. However, Arrilucea will be going no further unless he wishes to pony up another $20,000 as he has been eliminated at the hands of Jan Suchanek.
The two got all the chips in on a ten-high flop, Arrilucea's pocket queens trailing to Suchanek's pocket aces to hit the rail and thin the field by one.
The number of entries has climbed to 35 with the re-entry of Vincent Huang and the entry of Jonathan Karamalikis.

Level 3
: 200/400, 400 ante
There was a cry of 'All-in, Call!' over on one of the outer tables and it was Sosia Jiang the player at risk on a 
flop. Jiang had jammed from under-the-gun on the flop with 
for the straight and had been called by neighbour Roger Teska, holding 
for the nut flush draw and two overs.
The 
turn completed Teska's flush to leave Jiang drawing dead. The 
river completed the hand and Teska stacked up to 107,000 while Jiang headed for the cage to re-enter.
