Nind Rivers Pitcher

In some rare post-flop play, Eddy Pitcher and Craig Nind saw a flop of {10-Clubs}{A-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Pitcher fired out 3,000 from the cutoff and Nind made the call.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Pitcher checked over to Nind, who this time took the lead and bet out 5,000. Pitcher made the call. The river landed the {6-Hearts}, and this time Pitcher took control with a 10,000 chip bullet. Nind thought for a moment and made the call as Pitcher's {10-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} were rivered by the {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} of Nind.

Nind is up to 61,000 with Pitcher falling to 30,000.

The Rich Get Richer

David Gorr was short stacked and committed with his {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and found himself up against chip leader Steve Hamilton who held {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

The board fell {7-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} giving Hamilton a pair of kings and the pot to eliminate Gorr just short of the money. Hamilton is on track for a final table berth as he now holds 110,000 chips.

Tang Cracks Aces

A player in middle position limped in, and the small blind completed as Danny Tang looked down at {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} in the big blind. Tang shoved all in for around 8,000 chips. The middle position player folded, but the small blind made the call and revealed an interestingly played pair of aces!

However, luck favored Tang as the board fell {J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{Q-Spades}, giving him a set as the small blind was left shaking his head. Tang is up to 22,000.

47 Players Remaining

There are currently 47 players remaining across five tables, and we're fast approaching the money bubble. The average chip stack is now at 26,936 and we're seeing short-stacks move in left and right. The structure is so fast that we could reach a final table by 8:00 p.m., according to the line set by Director of Poker Operations Jonno Pittock.

Karib Karib, Crippled Crippled

Australian poker pro Karib Karib has just been knocked down to 2,200 in chips -- the result of a lost coinflip. Holding {4-Clubs} {4-Hearts}, Karib found himself racing against his opponent's {A-Spades} {5-Spades}; all of the money went in before the flop. His fours remained good through the turn as the board filled out {3-Spades} {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}, but the {5-Clubs} that fell on the river tipped the scales in favor of Karib's opponent.

Roy Vandersluis raised under the gun to 6,000 before Philip Iglesias moved all in. Vandersluis made the call and the cards were tabled:

Vandersluis: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Iglesias: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

Needing a nine to survive, Vandersluis could only watch on as the board landed {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{J-Spades} to send the pot to Iglesias. Vandersluis is out while Iglesias is in good shape with 47,000 chips.

Ouch

Danny Tang has just been dealt the kind of bad beat that stings for days after it happens. Holding aces, Tang had Matt Walker all in and in bad shape with {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}.

Roles were reversed after the flop, however, as it delivered not one, but two kings for Walker: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {6-Spades}.

With one out left and two cards to come, Tang watched the turn and river spit out running fives, earning Walker the checkmark for the hand.

Afterwards, Tang was left with 17,000 in chips while Walker improved to 27,000.
