Tamas Spikes Rivered Set To Remain Alive!

Tamas Lendvai seeing his tournament fate delivered

Tamas Lendvai moved all in from the button for his last 180,000 and Tom Grigg followed suit by also moving all in from the small blind to force a fold from Danny Silk in the big.

Lendvai: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Grigg: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

With Lendvai in a flip for his tournament life, the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop would ensure that Grigg took the lead to leave Lendvai needing to spike a two-outer to stay alive.

As Lendvai leant over the table at his impending fate, the dealer dropped the {6-Diamonds} on the river, before the crowd erupted as the {9-Diamonds} spiked on the river to see Lendvai catch his two-outer to double through to 385,000 as Grigg slides to 480,000.

"You can take it Tommy!" added Michael Spilkin from the rail as Grigg discussed how it was the second time a two-outer had been hit on him on the river following the one yesterday that gave Danny 'Brotha D' Leaoasavaii a kick-start to his current chip lead.

Ladies No Good for Lendvai

Tamas Lendvai opened to 48,000 from under the gun and both Danny 'Brotha D' Leaoasavaii and Srdjan Mitrovic made the call from the blinds.

The flop fell down {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Lendvai fired out a continuation bet of 80,000 with only Leaoasavaii making the call before both players checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn as the dealer dropped the {9-Clubs} on the river.

Leaoasavaii led for 120,000 and a disgusted Lendvai open-folded his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} as Leaoasavaii flashed his cards to the crowd while stating he held {A-}{10-}.

As Lendvai slips to 175,000, Leaoasavaii climbed to 1,520,000 in chips.

Grigg Clips Silk

Tom Grigg opened the button to 50,000 and Danny Silk defended his big blind.

The {J-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop was checked through to see the {9-Clubs} land on the turn and a bet of 60,000 from Grigg find a check-fold from Silk to see Grigg collect the pot and move to 730,000 in chips.

Srdjan Mitrovic opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and Ropati Toleafoa defended his big blind.

The flop landed the {4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Toleafoa led out for 40,000 only to have Mitrovic bump it to 90,000. Sitting in the tank for several moments, Toleafoa eventually made the call before the {10-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Instantly, Toleafoa moved all in for 255,000 and after taking his turn in the tank, Mitrovic made the call.

Toleafoa: {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Mitrovic: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

With Toleafoa not happy in the situation he was in - due to his negative shake of his head - the dealer dropped the {Q-Clubs} on the river to end Toleafoa's tournament in 6th place.

As Toleafoa made his way round the table shaking the hands of his opponents, the rail launched into a rousing array of applause as Toleafoa will be happy with his $24,829 payday as Mitrovic climbed to 835,000 in chips.

Tom Grigg entered the pot with a raise to 40,000 only to have Danny 'Brotha D' Leaoasavaii three-bet to 100,000 from the small blind.

Grigg made the call as Leaoasavaii fired out 100,000 when the {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop fell. Grigg smooth-called before both players checked the {9-Diamonds} and {3-Diamonds} on the turn and river.

Leaoasavaii tabled his {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} to prompt a muck from Grigg as he slipped to 680,000 while Leaoasavaii soared to 1,260,000 in chips.

After several minutes in the tank, Lendvai released his hand saying he folded {A-}{10-} after Grigg tabled his {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} to collect the pot and move to 900,000 in chips.
