Ferenc Riech opened to 85,000 from under the gun and Louis Salter responded with a three-bet to 195,000. The action folded around to Jacob Elmore Dahl and the "cactus" announced all in.
Riech folded after brief consideration and Salter then asked the dealer for an exact count. It was 880,000 in total and that let the Brit shake his head and send the cards into the muck.
Alexandre Thomas from Perth has the support of his rail and the initial momentum saw his stack boost to above one million. As of lately, the Aussie wasn't involved in as many hands and just picked up the blinds and antes again with a raise to 850,000. Shortest stack on table eight remains Michael Seymour with just under half a million in chips.
Phachara Wongwichit shoved the small blind and Stephen Koutsouvelis waited for his latest drink order to be delivered before making the call from the big blind with the .

Hot off the press, or more likely the rail, we have been informed that the nickname of Jacob Elmore Dahl is "cactus". The American just picked up a small pot against table neighbor Matthew Wakeman in a battle of the blinds with a set of deuces. A fourth spade on the river however slowed down the action and both players checked it down.
From early position, Eric Thiessen moved all in for just under 300,000 chips. Tatjana Zizic reshoved for slightly more, after just having doubled up, and all other players folded.

The flop paired the queen of Thiessen, but the Belgian needed further help. Neither the turn nor the river provided such and Thiessen headed to the rail in 14th place for a payday of $A12,855.
