We have quickly lost our first player at the ANZPT Auckland final table!
Nathan Gubieski opened from middle position to 16,000 before Dean Stevenson moved all in from the button for his last 109,500. David Lim was in the small blind and he looked at Gubieski’s stack before announcing a call. Gubieski got out of the way and we had our first all-in clash of the final table!
Stevenson:
Lim:
The board bricked out to leave Stevenson to depart in 9th place for a collect of NZ$10,650 as Lim pads his stack to around 1.3 million in chips.
Angela Brewster was the last lady standing in the ANZPT Auckland Main Event and has fallen just short of making the final table.
Brewster’s final hand saw her shove all in for around 60,000 after Nathan Gubieski opened to 16,000. The rest of the table was out of the way as Gubieski made the call.
Gubieski showed , which at this point was ahead of the of Brewster.
By the time the dealer spread out a board, Brewster’s rail were shouting for an ace, but Gubieski’s rail were shouting for a deuce.
River:
Gubieski’s rail got their wish and with that Brewster was sent home in 10th place.
We are now at the final table. There will be a short break while the seats are arranged.
The short-stacked Raybon Kan has been sent to the rail as we have now reached the final ten here in the ANZPT Auckland Main Event.
Kan was all in preflop with against David Lim’s , but the drama was short-lived when Lim flopped the stone-cold nuts on the flop. Kan’s only hope was a perfect runner-runner straight-flush to chop – not exactly a great hope.
It was all over when the hit the turn and the meaningless river was the . Kan was out in 11th place for NZ$7,455 as we’ll now play round-for-round on the two tables for the final table bubble.
It started with Nathan Gubieski opening from under the gun, at which point the action folded around to Jason Cook in the big blind. He three-bet all in for around 60,000 more and eventually Gubieski made the call.
It was Cook at risk holding against the of Gubieski.
The board ran out , with the turn giving Gubieski the lead and enough to send Cook home in 12th place.
It was Ia Rimamaki who shoved for 63,500 from under the gun. Stanislav Chataline was next to act and tanked before opting to fold. The action then flew around to Amant Nauhria and he made the call. The rest of the table was out of the way and Rimamaki was at risk and out of his seat.
Rimamaki:
Nauhria:
Rimamaki needed to catch some cards and that’s exactly what he did on the flop. The turn was a and the river a and with that Rimamaki was up to around 130,000.
Some people may have thought that with half the chips in play between them, Amant Nauhria and David Lim may have stayed away from each other.
Think again.
One of the first hands of the day started with Lim opening the button to 16,000. Nauhria then three bet to 26,000 and Lim called.
On the flop, Nauhria led for 32,000 and Lim called. The turn would see Nauhria check and then snap-call a bet of 47,000. The dealer then flipped over a on the river.
“All in,” Nauhria instantly said for effectively 950,000.
After a short delay following the unbagging of the chips and introducing the day, exactly 12 players have taken their seats at the final two tables of the ANZPT Auckland Main Event as the final day of action has begun!
The first blind level of the day is 4,000/8,000 with a 1,000 ante and we will be playing down to a winner.
Good luck to all the players and poker fans keep it locked here for all the live updates.
