Play Delayed

Once again we find ourselves ready to roll but at the mercy of the TV production crew and Erin McNaught who is currently interviewing each of the five remaining players for their thoughts on the run home. At least we have an excuse to use another photo...

Dinner Break

The players will now be taking their dinner break. Play will recommence at 8 p.m. local time which is a little over an hour from now.

Do Does It Again

Charles Chua raised to 14,000 from under the gun with Quinn Do and David Steicke calling out of the blinds.

They saw a flop of {10-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Do led out with a bet of 22,000. Steicke folded but Chua made the quick call.

When the {5-Spades} hit the turn both players slowed down and checked. The river was the {K-Clubs} and again both checked it down. Do flipped {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades} which was good to collect the pot.

Chua Drowns on the River

It was a three-way pot after Charles Chua raised to 13,000 and both blinds, Nam Le and Quinn Do, made the call. Quinn Do made the opening bet on a flop of {4-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds}, betting 19,000. Chua called, but Le folded.

The turn brought a third diamond to the board, the {7-Diamonds}. Do warily checked to Chua, who bet 30,000. It took Do 30 seconds to call. When a fourth diamond, the {10-Diamonds} hit the river, Do bet 35,000. That bet folded Chua. Do obligingly showed {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} for the flopped top pair and a rivered flush.

Wei Will Ma Eliminated in 6th Place ($64,102)

Wei Will Ma - 6th Place

David Steicke raised to 12,500 from the button before Wei Will Ma moved all in from the small blind for 34,500. Charles Chua called in the big blind, as did Steicke.

The board of {5-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{A-Spades} was checked down by both live players.

Steicke held {K-Clubs}{10-Spades} for king high. Ma could better that with {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} but Chua's {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} was good for a pair of aces to collect the pot worth over 100,000 and eliminate Ma in sixth place for $64,102.

Steicke Gets No Action

Nam Le limped into the pot from the button. After Quinn Do completed the small blind, David Steicke put in a modest raise to 15,000. Both other players called. Le and Do checked the {5-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} flop to Steicke, who bet 10,000 after 40 seconds.

"You're kidding," said Steicke after both players let it go. "The Machine" opened {A-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} for a flopped wheel.
