Hand #87 - Martin Comer

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

Kenneth Damm completes from the small blind, and Martin Comer checks his option. Heads up, the flop comes out {6-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {J-Clubs}. Both men check. Fourth street brings the {K-Spades}. Damm puts out the minimum bet of 50,000, and Comer quickly calls. The river is the {3-Hearts}. Damm passes this time, and Comer seizes the chance to bet 250,000. Damm shakes his head, but he can't call the bet, and Comer takes in the chips.

Hand #89 - Kenneth Damm

Martin Comer has the button in Seat 8.

Kenneth Damm counts out a raise to 160,000 from the cutoff seat. While he was deliberating, Martin Comer folded out of turn, and Ray Sukkar had attempted to raise to 100,000. The tournament staff told him that the chips had to stay in the pot, and Sukkar folded for the additional 60,000. Tim Heath folded from the big blind, and Damm takes down a nice little pot with no action.

Hand #91 -

Tim Heath has the button in Seat 1.

Nali Kaselias opens with a big raise to 350,000 from under the gun. It passes around the table to David Gorr in the small blind, and he looks to be contemplating a tough decision. Working with a short stack, the raise represents almost all of Gorr's chips. He sits back in his chair, counting and re-counting his remaining stack. After a minute or two, he makes the flat call, and it's heads up to the flop.

The dealer spreads out {2-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {3-Clubs}. Gorr checks, and Kaselias asks him for a count. Gorr has about 180,000 left, and his opponent puts him all in. Gorr quickly calls, his tournament life in danger.

Showdown:
Gorr: {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Kaselias: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}

Looking for an ace or runner-runner, Gorr fails to find anymore help as the turn and river come {10-Diamonds} and {7-Spades} respectively. He is eliminated in 7th place, taking home nearly $25,000 AUD.

After that knockout, Kaselias is up to 2,493,000 in chips.

Action folds over to Kenneth Damm in the small blind and he raises to 250,000. Martin Comer folds from the big blind and then complains that Damm hasn't given him one walk all day.
