Richard Lysinger
Richard Lysinger

Kurt Chenchick limped and Richard Lysinger decided to move all in but he was in for a shock when James Miller to his left moved all in too. Chenwick folded.

Lysinger showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} but was being crushed by the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} of Miller.

The cards came out {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and the jack Lysinger was calling for did not appear.

John MacNaughton Eliminated in 30th Place

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
John MacNaughton
John MacNaughton

Robert Cutshall opened the action with a raise to 45,000 and John MacNaughton moved all in for another 66,000 on top of that out of the big blind. Cutshall tossed in the extra chips and it was off to the races. MacNaughton turned over {9-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Cutshall had {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}. The [7s4d2s[ flop was no good news for the Canadian as he now needed running cards to stay alive in the tournament.

It was all over after the [2d[ turn and the rail cheered for him, the {K-Clubs} completed the turn. His wife finished tenth two years ago and he'll have to try again to better that result. Still an extraordinary achievement to have outlasted more than 4,400 players!

Munro With The Nuts

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Richard Munro has been very active early on and made the continuation bet on an ace high board against Dennis Phillips, showing the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} after his opponent folded.

Soon after he opened again and Phillips called on the button, Carl Torelli tossed in the extra chips in the big blind as well and checked in the dark. On the {3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{K-Clubs} flop, Munro bet and only Torelli called, once again announcing a check in the dark. Munro took the free card and checked behind the {7-Hearts} turn.

Torelli then bet 80,000 on the {9-Clubs} river and Munro moved all in after about one minute. His opponent folded and Munro showed {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for the stone cold nuts.

Bochynski Next to Fall

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Thomas Bochynski moved all in for 169,000 and was called by Doc Barry. Bochynski was at risk and made his move with {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and ran into the {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} of Barry.

The cards ran out {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and the ace king held to send Bochynski to the rail.

Davis Doubles

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Walter Davis open shoved from the button and was called in the big blind after some thought by Kurt Chenchick. Davis held {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and was called by {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

The flop ran out {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{a-Clubs}.

“Holy cow.” Chenchick said as the flop came out and Davis hit two pair to double up.

Peter Costa Runs Into Aces

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The 2003 Aussie Millions champion Peter Costa was one of the shorter stacks coming back today and he just got his stack in pre flop with {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. James Miller snapped him off with the {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and had little to worry on the {Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. The last Brit has been sent to the rail and Miller joins the top 5 stacks.

Set Over Set Gets Action Underway

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Anthony Wise started the action with a raise to 35,000, one seat over Jim Custer three-bet to 100,000 and the action folded to Alan Gillespie in the big blind. He moved all in and Wise folded, Custer called and both turned over their cards:

Custer: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Gillespie: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The {J-Hearts} appeared right in the window and the {5-Clubs}{10-Clubs} completed the flop. Custer then caught the {Q-Spades} on the turn to regain the lead, the {K-Clubs} river completed the board. Both players essentially swapped stacks and we had a rocking start to the day.
