Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Allan Dyrstad open raised from early position, Christian Choca Archinaut called in the small blind and Gareth Devereux moved all in from the big blind with a short stack of 18,500. Dyrstad flat called the shove before Archinaut pushed all in over the top for around 75,000.

Dyrstad laid down his hand to leave two players in the pot. Devereux and Archinaut flipped their cards, with Devereux at risk.

Gareth Devereux: A♥Q♠ All in
Christian Choca Archinaut: A♠J♥

The board ran out Q♣10♣7♦K♦A♣. Devereux paired his queen on the flop, but Archinaut made a backdoor straight on the turn to win the pot. Devereux was eliminated as the bubble draws closer.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was on the flop on a board of 3♣2♥9♦. Mitchell Johnson bet out 4,000 and Marle Spragg called.

The turn came the 5♥ and Johnson checked. Spragg bet 14,000, which Johnson called. The river was the 9♣ and Johnson checked again. The waiter brought over a glass of rose, but Spragg was in the zone as she moved all in for 37,000.

Johnson went into the tank and then eventually made the call. He showed 6♦6♥ for two pair, nines and sixes. Spragg flipped over 5♣5♦ for a full house, fives full of nines. She won the pot and sent Johnson to the rail.
