Nothing So Far

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

All three players really want this ANZPT title, and the play has been very slow and mechanical. We haven't seen big pots as of late, but with the blinds going up in 12 minutes that could change at any time.

Anyone's Game

Michael Guzzardi raised to 100,000 from the button and Paul Hockin moved all in from the big blind. His shove was for 1,230,000 and Guzzardi made the call.

Paul Hockin{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Michael Guzzardi{J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, and Hockin's set took this massive pot. All three stacks are pretty even now, and it's anyone's game for the title!
