The action has still been quite slow at the final table of the ANZPT Perth Main Event.
The only real bit of excitement recently saw Nevin Bechar five-bet shove for around 300,000 after Huang had four-bet 125,000 over a three-bet of 67,000 from Bechar. Huang got out of the way and the chips went to Bechar.

Bryan Huang is back up over 700,000 in chips after winning a handy pot off Robert McLean.
It started with McLean opening to 27,000 from under the gun. Huang three-bet to 60,000 from the cut off and once McLean called, the two players checked it to the river of a 
board.
On the river, it was checked to Huang, who bet 50,000. McLean called and then mucked when Huang showed

It looked like the first elimination was about to happen, but then a river card changed everything.
The hand in question began when Michael Guzzardi opened to 20,000 from under the gun. Michael Doyle made the call before Gregory Wheeler three-bet to 40,000. Both Guzzardi and Doyle called to see the dealer flip over a 
flop. Three checks and a 
hi the turn. Tjhis time when Guzzardi checked, Doyle moved all in for 126,000. Wheeler folded, while Guzzardi called to put Doyle at risk.
It was Guzzardi with 
having Doyle crushed with 
.
River: 
"Get them baby!" Doyle's girlfriend screamed from the rail at the sight of the three.
And get chips he did.
Despite the hit, Guzzardi still has a very healthy 560,000.

Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang hasn't been able to win a pot at the final table so far. He recently lost quite a large one to Michael Kane in a hand that started when Kane limped the small blind and Huang checked the big blind.
Kane then led three streets on a 
board, betting 12,000 on the flop, 23,000 on the turn and 52,000 on the river.
Huang flat-called every street and mucked on the river when Kane showed

Michael Guzzardi continues to play lots of hands and quite a hefty one recently went in his favour.
It started with Gregory Wheeler opening to 25,000 from under the gun. Guzzardi called out of the small blind and Michael Doyle called from the big blind. On the 
flop, it was checked through to a turn. This time Guzzardi checked, Doyle bet 35,000 and Wheeler called before Guzzardi check-raised to 85,000. Doyle got out of the way, while Wheeler opted to call.
On the river, Guzzardi led out for a large 120,000 and Wheeler called.
At showdown, Guzzardi tabled his 
which was enough to send Wheeler's cards into the muck.

Michael Guzzardi seems to be the most active at the final table so far, though in general, it's still been a very slow start to the action.
One of the few hands that went past a flop began with Guzzardi opening to 20,000 from under the gun, which Navin Bechar called from the button, while the rest of the table was out of the way.
On the 
flop, Guzzardi led for 25,000 and Bechar called.
The turn was a 
and this time Guzzardi checked to Bechar, who bet 53,000. Guzzardi got out of the way and the pot went to Bechar.
We have just seen the first all-in shove at the final table.
The hand started with Robert McLean opening to 22,000 from middle position. Michael Guzzardi made the flat-call on his direct left and then Michael Doyle three-bet to 45,000 from the cut off. McLean opted to fold while Guzzardi looked at Doyle's stack before making the call.
On the 
flop, Doyle moved all in and Guzzardi folded.
Doyle, the short stack, is now a little healthier on over 200,000 in chips.
