Hand #125 - Martin Comer

Martin Comer has the button in Seat 8.

It comes around to Comer, and he raises to 200,000. Ray Sukkar folds from the small blind, but David Lee is not so quickly pacified. He asks for a count on his man, learning that he holds an additional 625,000. That was all the info he needed apparently, as he folds, sending the pot over to Martin Comer.

David Lee has the button in Seat 4.

Martin Comer raises to 250,000 under the gun, and David Lee moves all in for 900,000.

"Like I every time I raise..." lamented Comer, tailing off. He stands, looking to his supporters on the rail for sympathy. He sits back down, shooting an evil eye over at his opponent. After a minute or two, he flops his cards into the muck with a bit of frustration. Lee takes down the pot.

Hand #128 -

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

Kaselias raises to 260,000. Martin Comer moves all in from the big blind for 675,000. Kaselias calls!

Showdown:
Comer: {K-Spades} {J-Spades}
Kaselias: {8-Spades} {8-Clubs}

Comer can't hit one of his overs and only picks up one spade on the flop -- {6-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {6-Spades}.

Kaselias yell "Keep it low!" for the turn card and the dealer drops the {7-Clubs}.

Kaselias now walks over to his railbirds and waits for the river. "Keep it low!" he says again. The dealer places the {7-Diamonds} on the river and Iraqi Nick's eights are good.

Comer has a few nice words to say to the dealer on his way out of the tournament area and finishes in fifth place, taking home $41,000 AUD for his efforts.

Hand #131 - Nali Kaselias

Ray Sukkar has the button in Seat 9.

He is first in, and he raises to 200,000. In the big blind, Nali Kaselias makes the call.

The flop brings {7-Hearts} {9-Spades} {4-Clubs}. Kaselias check-called a 200,000-chip bet from Sukkar.

Fourth street was the {A-Hearts}, and both players checked.

The river card was the {8-Spades}, and again they both checked. Sukkar tabled {2-?} {2-?}, but Kaselias had the winner. He tabled {J-Hearts} {J-Spades} and picks up a nice pot.
