Seal Gets A Few Back

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

The action folded to Denis Sekuloski and he limped the small blind. Emanuel Seal was in the big blind and raised to 150,000 leaving himself with 350,000 behind. Sekuloski flat-called and then checked in the dark, saying "careful" as he did so.

On the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop, the action was on Seal and he moved all in.

Sekuloski quickly folded {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts} face up. Seal, meanwhile, flashed his {k-}{k-}.

Roach Gets Some Off Curly

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

Emanuel 'Curly' Seal has just lost plenty of chips to Murray Roach.

It started with Roach opening to 100,000 from under the gun. Denis Sekuloski called from the small blind and Seal called from the big blind to see the dealer spread out a {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{a-Spades} flop. It was checked to Roach here and he bet 125,000. Sekuloski folded, while Seal made the call. The turn was a {k-Spades} and both players checked as the board completed with a {7-Diamonds}. This time Seal led for 220,000 and after some thought, Roach called.

At showdown, Roach tabled {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Seal's cards went into the muck!

Quickly down to five players!

Zhi Ma's elimination began when he opened to 150,000 which was then raised to 400,000 from Denis Sekuloski. Back on Ma and after a few moments he moved all in for around 950,000 total. Sekuloski snap-called and Ma turned over {a-Spades}{k-Spades} before Sekuloski tabled {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

It was off to the races and a race that Sekuloski would win as the dealer spread out a {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} board.

Ma pockets $38,750 for the 6th place, while Sekuloski is now up over 2 million in chips.

The players are now guaranteed $48,000.

Tom Rafferty Eliminated in 7th Place (AU$29,750)

Then there were six!

The latest elimination started with Denis Sekuloski opening the button to 200,000. Tom Rafferty called off his short-stack of 190,000 in the small blind and then once Emanuel Seal had tank-folded in the big blind, the cards were turned over.

It was Rafferty at risk with {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} against Sekuloski's {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

Rafferty flopped a straight draw to go with his over cards on the {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, but the overcards outs were taken away on the {4-Spades} turn. The {10-Spades} river was no good to Rafferty and so he was eliminated in 6th place, collecting $29,750.
