With 64,000 in the pot and the flop spread {q-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs} Chao Duan was all-in for 32,300 from the small blind after a player in the cutoff had bet out 4,000.

There was some tanking, but eventually, Duan's opponent let it go leaving the Chinese player free to scoop the pot and climb to over 100,000.

Spano's Ace-High Loses

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Robert Spano raised to 2,100 from under the gun plus one and was called by the player in the hijack.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and Spano checked. His opponent bet 2,500. Spano called.

The {5-Hearts} dropped on the turn and Spano checked, then snap-called, another bet totalling 6,100 from his opponent.

The {k-Diamonds} completed the board and both players opted to check.

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

A Selection of Post-Break Counts

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

The confirmed number of entries for Day 1d is coming in at 405, with the tournament clock showing 254 of these still in the running. Here's a selection of how some of the remaining field are stacking up:

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.

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.

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.
