Hand #79 - Dan Sing

Luke Stanford had the button in Seat 6. He moved all in from the button. Dan Sing moved all in as well from the small blind.

Stanford {J-Spades} {9-Hearts}
Sing {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Stanford didn't get much help on the flop when it came {5-Spades} {5-Clubs} {3-Clubs}. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and the river the {2-Clubs} to give Sing the win.

Hand #76 - Daniel Craker

Daniel Craker had the button in Seat 1. Luke Stanford raised to 40,000 and Daniel Craker called. Wang Jung also called.

The flop came {Q-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {6-Clubs}. Jung and Stanford both checked. Craker bet 100,000 and Jung folded. Then, Stanford moved all in. Craker made the call.

Stanford {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Craker {Q-Spades} {10-Spades}

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and the crowd erupted! Craker needed to dodge an ace or a club on the river and did so when the {5-Spades} fell off.

Home Felt Advantage

The final table began with four New Zealanders, and with five players left, all of them still remain. The lone "foreigner" left standing is Aussie Matthew Konnecke, though all five men have strong support from their respective cheering sections on the rail.
