Dramatic Set Over Set Action

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Xixiang Luo
Xixiang Luo

Michael Dix opened the betting, making it 72,000 and Xixiang Luo pushed all in for 540,000 behind.

"I hope I'm racing," said Dix, calling with the {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. He wasn't. Lou had the {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and was ahead, until the board ran out {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} to the turn, giving Dix a come-from-behind set of fours.

Lou was devastated, but that changed fast on the river. He exploded with happiness when the {6-Spades} was revealed on the end, making him a bigger set, doubling him up to over one million in chips and leaving Dix short.

Dennis Huntly Eliminated in 5th Place ($29,790)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Dennis Huntly
Dennis Huntly

Dennis Huntly moved all in for 41,000 from under the gun and Shivan Abdine reshoved from one seat over. The action folded to Brendon Rubie and he asked for an approximate count of the shove and then quickly let go when it was around 640,000 in total.

Huntly: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Abdine: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The player at risk paired his jack on the flop {J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts} and stayed in the lead with the {3-Spades} turn, however the {A-Hearts} river gave Abdine the higher pair and he scored the knockout. Huntly was the last bounty in the field and handed over token as well to give Abdine an extra payday of A$1,000.

Dix's Downfall

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

He made it 72,000, then called when Rubie bumped it to 182,000. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and both players checked. Dix checked again on the {q-Spades} turn, then folded to a 160,000-chip bet from Rubie.

Joris Ruijs Eliminated in 6th Place ($24,825)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Joris Ruijs
Joris Ruijs

Brendon Rubie raised to 42,000 from under the gun and then folded to the shove of Joris Ruijs out of the big blind. The very next hand, the action folded around to the Dutchman and he moved all in for approximately 19 big blinds. Rubie glanced at his cards and then quickly called, tabling the {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

Ruijs was behind with the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and failed to improve despite an added flush draw on the turn of the board {3-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. The Dutchman was sent to the rail in 6th place for a payday of A$24,825.

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Stephen Woodhead made it 55,000, Michael Dix raised to 110,000 and after the rest got out of the way, Woodhead shoved.

Dix snapped with the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, Woodhead was on the {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}, and aces held in a classic cooler on a {10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{k-Clubs} board.
