Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

"Ace-high," announced Spano, before mucking his cards, after his opponent tabled {q-Spades}{j-Spades} for two pair.

Smith Takes One From Boxell

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Geoffrey Smith raised to 2,000 from middle position. Leo Boxell called from the hijack. The players in the cutoff and big blind also came along.

The flop came {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and the big blind checked. Smith continued for 4,200. Only Boxell called.

Both players then checked down the {8-Clubs} on the turn and {4-Spades} on the river.

Smith flipped over {j-Spades}{8-Spades} for two pair, and took down the pot, after Boxell mucked his disappointment.

Second Break of the Day

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

The 401 players in today's Day 1d field are on their second 10-minute break of the day.

The last chance to register for this main event will end after this break.

Kondevski Busts Antar and Beats Elliot

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Todar Kondevski
Todar Kondevski

A short-stacked Joe Antar moved all-in from under-the-gun for his last 4,000 or so with Todar Kondevski calling from three seats over and the neighbouring Paul Elliot also making the call to take the action three-way to the {j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop.

With both Kondevski and Elliot live in the hand, these two proceeded to get the rest of their chips in and the cards were revealed.

Joe Antar: {6-Spades}{4-Spades}
Todar Kondevski: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Paul Elliot: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Antar was drawing extremely thin with six-high, Kondevski had nut diamonds and Elliot was leading with top, top. However, while the {5-Hearts} turn was a safe card for Elliot, the {6-Diamonds} river saw Kondevski spike his flush to win the pot, much to Elliot's disappointment.

Antar hit the rail, Kondevski stacked up to 45,000 and Elliot dropped to 10,000.

Boskovic Running Good

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Dejan Boskovic
Dejan Boskovic

Dejan Boskovic raised from middle position and was called by the player in the cutoff. The player in the small blind then re-raised to 3,900. Boskovic and the other player involved made the call.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and the small blind continued for 5,000. Only Boskovic called.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and the small blind checked. Boskovic quickly tossed out 20,000 which had his opponent's 16,000-chip stack covered.

"Save it bro! Running too good," said Boskovic to his opponent. "Or Gamble," he added with a smile.

Boskovic's opponent took the advice and let his hand go.

Kambouroglou Squeezes for Victory, Gupta Folds Out Gilbert

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Tony Kambouroglou is running pretty well at the moment and has amassed quite the tidy stack, padding it out a little more with a successful squeeze play.

It was Vikrant Gupta the man driving the action initially with an under-the-gun open to 1,400, picking up two callers before the action folded around to Kambouroglou in the big blind.

Kambouroglou peeked down at his hole cards and squeezed to 6,000 to send Gupta into the tank.

"Do you have pocket tens?" he queried, but Kambouroglou was giving nothing away and Gupta eventually folded, as did the other two callers, leaving Kambouroglou to pad out his stack a little more to climb to 160,000.

Gupta gave it another go the next hand, popping it up to 1,700 in the small blind with the recently moved Jason Gilbert making the call in the big blind to take the action heads-up to a flop of {k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, which brought a continuation bet of 1,800 from Gupta and another call from Gilbert.

The {10-Clubs} turn saw Gupta load up another barrel and fire for 3,300, which was enough to take the pot when Gilbert mucked.
