Yury Zinkevich Eliminated in 13th Place (A$54,720)

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Yury Zinkevich
Yury Zinkevich

Kitty Kuo opened to 18,000 first to act and Yury Zinkevich moved all in for 81,000 on the button. Brian Yoon in the big blind called and Kuo asked for Yoon's stack size before electing to reraise, making it 210,000 to go. That was enough to force out Yoon and the cards were tabled.

Yury Zinkevich: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Kitty Kuo: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The classic coin flip all but lost the entire excitement for Zinkevich when the flop fell {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, as the Belorussian needed running aces or kings to remain in contention. It was all over on the {4-Diamonds} turn, and the meaningless {6-Spades} river was a mere formality. Zinkevich takes home A$54,720 for his efforts and the remaining 12 players will be balanced to two tables shortly.

Stefan Huber Eliminated in 14th Place (A$54,720)

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Stefan Huber
Stefan Huber

Brian Yoon made it 18,000 to go and Stefan Huber three-bet all in for 136,000 one hand after he had doubled through Kitty Kuo. Yoon and Huber both exchanged some chat and smiles before Yoon eventually called.

Stefan Huber: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Brian Yoon: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Yoon took the lead on the {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop and the {10-Spades} turn and {10-Clubs} river even improved him top a full house, sending Huber to the rail in 14th place for Place A$54,720.

Yap and Salter Chip Up

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

A raise on the button by Roger Teska was called by Jack Salter in the big blind and both players invested 25,000 each on the {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. The {7-Clubs} turn was checked and so was the {K-Hearts} on the river. Teska showed the {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a pair of tens while Salter had {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a flush.

Wayne Yap checked the {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop and called a bet by Michael Gathy for 30,000. The {K-Spades} fell on the turn and Yap checked once more from the under-the-gun position. Gathy bet 80,000 and Yap check-shoved for 380,000 to force a fold.

Huber Doubles Through Kuo

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

It folded to short-stack Stefan Huber in the small blind.

"Let's do it!" he said, sliding his 86,000 stack into the middle. Kitty Kuo was in the big blind and called.

Stefan Huber: {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Kitty Kuo: {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}

There was a jack on the flop and the board came {j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} to hand the double up to Huber.

Kuo and Kanit Chip Up

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Mustapha Kanit
Mustapha Kanit

Mustapha Kanit raised to 18,000 and Rory Young defended his big blind. Both checked the {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and the {3-Diamonds} turn. The {6-Diamonds} river brought a bet of 60,000 by Young and Kanit called to win the pot with {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, Young only had the {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

Kitty Kuo limped in from the small blind and Yury Zinkevich checked. Kuo bet the {10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop for 9,000 and Zinkevich called, the {6-Clubs} turn was then checked through. Kuo bet the {A-Hearts} river for 19,000 and Zinkevich reluctantly called, but mucked when Kuo flipped over {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for a pair of aces.

Salter Doubles Through Yotsushika

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Kazuhiko Yotsushika raised to 25,000 on the button and Jack Salter moved all in from the small blind. Yotsushika announced the call and Salter immediately rolled over his {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}. Yotsushika shot out of his chair with a wide smile on the face and was about to jump over to Salter, who grinned back and said "sorry I can't help it."

Yotsushika took it well, as he only had {A-Spades}{3-Clubs}. "Maybe diamonds?!" Salter added and the flop fell {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Salter turned away from the table and said "don't do this to me" before praying for a chop on the {4-Clubs} turn. A blank {5-Spades} river was a close call but Salter held up to double for 176,000.
