Eric Sclavos Eliminated in 12th Place ($8,050)

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Eric Sclavos (12th Place)
Eric Sclavos (12th Place)

With Eric Sclavos all in for just 1,400 on the big blind, several players limped into the pot. The flop came down {8-Clubs}{9-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and Sam Ruha checked from the small blind. Peco Stojanovski followed suit from the hijack before Dan Heimiller threw out 6,500 from the cut off. Martin Kozlov mucked from the button, followed then by Ruha.

“You better not be making that bet with a draw,” said Stojanovski, before mucking his {a-Clubs} face up.

Heimeller then turned over his {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and was in front, after Sclavos showed his {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. No help came for Sclavos as the board ran out the {q-Hearts} and {2-Spades}.

Tim O'Shea Eliminated in 13th Place (AU$6,609)

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Tim O'Shea - 13th place
Tim O'Shea - 13th place

Tim O'Shea limped in from the cutoff, as did Feng Zhou and Junzhong Loo from the button and small blind before Michael O'Grady checked his option.

On the {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop, O'Shea moved all in for 30,500 and Zhou was the only caller.

O'Shea: {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Zhou: {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

With O'Shea at risk and in the lead, the {J-Spades} on the turn changed little, but when the {8-Spades} landed on the river O'Shea would hit the rail in 13th place as Zhou climbed to over 180,000 in chips.

Nee Cracks Heimiller’s Aces

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Dan Heimiller opened to 6,000 from middle position and was called by Aik-Chuan Nee on the big blind. The flop came down {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Nee checked. Heimiller threw out a continuation bet of 9,000 and was met with a quick all in announcement. The bet totalled 53,500 and Heimiller made the instant call.

Heimiller: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Nee: {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The {10-Diamonds} fell on the turn completing Nee’s flush. Heimiller was still drawing to the nut flush but wouldn’t get there as the {3-Spades} completed the board.

Tien Pham Eliminated in 14th Place (AU$6,609)

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Tien Pham - 14th place
Tien Pham - 14th place

The hand started with Tien Pham moving all in from under the gun for his last 24,900 in chips. Michael O’Grady was on the small blind and made the call after thinking over his decision. The big blind folded and both players tabled their cards.

Pham: {A-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
O’Grady: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Pham was in great shape to double up as the flop came down {8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}. However, the {k-Hearts} on the turn put O’Grady in the lead and that’s how it would stay when the {5-Clubs} fell on the river.

Pham walks away with AU$6,609 for his efforts today.

O'Shea Doubles

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

From the button, Tien Pham moved all in and Tim O'Shea called all in for his last 11,100.

Pham: {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}
O'Shea: {J-Spades}{8-Spades}

The flop of {J-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} saw Pham connect with two-pair while leaving O'Shea needing one of the final jacks in the deck.

As the dealer dropped the {2-Hearts} on the turn, Pham bellowed, "no jack!"

Unfortunately the dealer and her deck didn't cooperate as the {J-Diamonds} was delivered on the river to ensure O'Shea the double while Pham was left crippled with roughly 6,000 in chips.

Zhou: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Batoz: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{k-Hearts} to see Zhou take down the pot with a higher two pair.
