Hand #97 - Martin Comer

Ray Sukkar has the button in Seat 9.

Kenneth Damm opens with a very deliberate raise to 150,000. Martin Comer quickly calls, and both Tim Heath and David Lee fold in the blinds.

Heads up then, the flop reveals {J-Clubs} {3-Spades} {10-Hearts}. Damm checks, allowing Comer to put out a bet of 250,000. Damm double-checks his hole cards, slipping them back and forth between his hands. He taps them on the felt and slides them back to the dealer, sending the pot over to Martin Comer.

Hand #94 - Kenneth Damm

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

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.

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.
