Anthony Wickert is one of the shorter stacks at the table and has shoved three times in the most recent hands and was able to win the blinds on all occasions.
Brandon Sheils raised to 5m from under the gun before Daniel Rezaei called on the button. When the action got around to Iaron Lightbourne in the big blind, he moved all in for 65m. Sheils used his 30 second time bank to think before he opted to fold and Lightbourne took down the pot after Rezaei also let his hand go.
Dean Hutchison got his 49m stack into the middle preflop against Artur Gjoka and was at risk of elimination.
Dean Hutchison:
Artur Gjoka:
Board:
Hutchison was in bad shape as Gjoka had him dominated, but he picked up a gutshot straight draw on the flop. The turn jack of clubs gave Hutchison his much needed straight, and the king on the river improved him further to secure an early double up.
Tom Smith raised to 5.5m from under the call, and Daniel Rezaei called in middle position. When the action got to Brandon Shiels in the small blind, he raised to 23.5m. Smith decided to move all in for 78m and Rezaei folded before Sheils called.
Brandon Sheils:
Tom Smith:
Board:
Chip leader Sheils held to further increase his lead at the top as Smith was the first player to exit on the final day for a cash worth ��10,030.
The completed board was down and Dean Hutchison bet 10m from early position on the river. Tom Smith was in the next seat and thought for 30 seconds before he moved all in for 37m. Hutchison went into the tank but ultimately let his hand go into the muck and Smith took the pot.
