Nicholas Dixon Eliminated in 17th Place (AUD$80,000)

Nível 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The action folded around to Nicholas Dixon in the small blind who moved all in for 319,000. Seth Davies then quickly called from the big blind.

Davies:
Dixon:

Both players had told each other that they went all in after only looking down at an ace. When Dixon revealed his jack and saw he was infront he jumped from his chair and high-fived his rail in delight.

Unfortunately, the excitement wouldn't last long as the board ran out to see Davies spike a four on the flop, taking down the pot with a pair, sending a gracious Dixon to the rail to collect his highest prize to date.

Nino Marotta Eliminated in 14th place (AUD$80,000)

Nível 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Over on the feature table, a huge hand developed between Nino Marotta and Shurane Vijayaram that resulted in Marotta’s unceremonious exit.

We caught the action on the turn but according to the feature table camera crew, betting remained fairly light preflop and on the flop with all the chips going in on the turn.

On a board reading Marotta and Vijayaram became embroiled in a raising war with Vijayaram four-bet jamming all in and Marotta making the call.

Shurane Vijayaram:
Nino Marotta:

While he may have had the best starting hand in hold’em a devastated looking Marotta found himself drawing to the deck's two remaining aces against Vijayaram’s turned gutshot straight.

However, the river brought Marotta no help and he headed for the rail.

Seth Davies Eliminated in 12th Place (AUD$115,000)

Nível 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

A blind on blind battle between Seth Davies (small blind) and Jeff Rossiter (big blind) resulted in the elimination of Seth Davies. We missed the preflop betting but there looked to be just over 100k in the pot when we caught the action on a flop.

Davies checked over to Rossiter, who fired out a 55,000 bet and Davies chewed over his decision under the scrutiny of Rossiter’s laser-eyed stare and eventually made the call.

The turn brought a second check from Davies and an impassive Rossiter reached for the dark blue 25k chips and slid out a raise of 190,000. The intensity of Rossiter’s stare down seemed to increase with his bet size but Davies was not deterred and called for a second time.

The river brought a third and final check from Davies and Rossiter quickly pushed out a 500,000 bet – Davies had around 480,000 behind so this had him covered and he went deep into the tank but eventually threw in the calling chips.

Rossiter rolled over and Davies mucked his hand face down, got up and left the table meaning we are now down to our final 11 players.

Webjoker

Nível 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Koray Aldemir was first to act and raised to 105,000. Big blind Peter Aristidou was the sole defender.

Aristidou check-called a bet of 80,000 on before checking again on the turn. Aldemir glared at Aristidou's stack for a bit and eventually decided to bet 215,000. Aristidou thought for just a bit before he announced all in for, what looked like to us, around 740,000. Aldemir called.

Peter Aristidou:
Koray Aldemir:

Aldemir was looking for an ace or five but would get neither; on the river.

The German high-roller was down to 55,000 and blind all in the next hand in the big blind. Shurane Vijayaram raised under the gun for 120,000 and everyone folded to Aldemir who slowly revealed after Vijayaram tabled .

The board ran out and Aldemir hit the rail in 10th place, good for AUD$115,000. The remaining nine players are guaranteed AUD$155,000 from here on out.
