The player on the button raised to 2,000 before Andrew Hinrichsen re-raised to 6,600 from the small blind. Michel Bouskila then moved all in for 15,400 from the big blind which forced a fold from the original raiser. Hinrichsen called.

Michel Bouskila: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Andrew Hinrichsen: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} to see Bouskila improve to a full house besting Hinrichsen's lower full house to continue on in the tournament.

Kannan Drops a Small One

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Action was on a flop of {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{J-Spades} between Michael Kanaan and one other player. With about 10,000 already in the pot, Kanan checked. His opponent put out a bet of 3,500 which Kanaan called.

The turn was the {J-Clubs} which prompted checks from both players and the {K-Clubs} on the river prompted two checks as well.

Kanaan's opponent showed down his {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and his two pair was good enough to earn him the pot as the former champ mucked his hand.

Boast Doubles Her Opponent

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Victoria Boast

The player seated under the gun raised to 2,000 and was called by the player in middle position before Victoria Boast re-raised to 7,000 from the hijack. The big blind then moved all in for 15,400 forcing a fold from the original raiser. The player in middle position thought for a moment before reluctantly folding his hand. Boast called.

Victoria Boast: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

The dealer pulled the three cards out of the card chute and flipped them over revealing the window card as the {8-Clubs} giving Boast the lead with a set. The table erupted with shock and excitement and that grew as the dealer then spread out the rest of the flop revealing the {a-Clubs} and {10-Clubs} as well giving Boast's opponent the lead back with a higher set.

The board ran out the {10-Hearts} then {2-Spades} to see Boast's opponent double up and stay alive in the tournament.

The player in middle position - who folded and announced he had pocket tens after the action was complete preflop - didn't seem very pleased when two more came out on the board which would've given him quads.

Boskovic Spikes Gin to Eliminate a Player

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Dejan Boskovic was in early position and faced a shove from one opponent on the button with a stack of about 16,000. Boskovic thought about it for a bit before he called putting his opponent at risk.

Dejan Boskovic: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The flop is a good one for Boskovic when it lands {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}, leaving his opponent reeling. She doesn't catch up on the {4-Diamonds} turn or the {3-Hearts} river either so Boskovic collects the pot and chips up to nearly 50,000.

Earlier this week, Boskovic finished 2nd in The Star Sydney WSOPC $5,000 Challenge and he'll look for another good run here in this event as well.

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Morten Mortensen raised to 2,000 from the hijack and was called by the player in the big blind.

Both players checked the {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop before the {9-Spades} dropped on the turn.

The big blind checked. Mortensen bet 2,500. His opponent then re-raised to 7,000. Mortensen thought for a minute and called.

The {a-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and the player in the big blind bet out another 7,000. Mortensen called almost immediately.

Mortensen then watched as his opponent flipped over {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for trip nines before he mucked his hand in disappointment.

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante

Daniel Collett

Daniel Collett has eliminated both Billy Argyros and Daniel Laidlaw in consecutive hands to race up the leaderboard.

Argyros only last 10-minutes in the tournament after late registering.

He flopped a set and was all in and at risk against Collett who had a flush draw. The river gave Collett his flush sending Argryos to the rail.

In the next hand Laidlaw raised from the hijack to 1,350 before Collett raised to 3,500 from the cutoff. Laidlaw thought for a minute before announcing all in for around 25,000. He was snap-called.

Daniel Collett: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Daniel Laidlaw: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{a-Clubs} to see Collett improve to a higher pair on the flop before taking out Laidlaw with his two pair.

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante

Action was on the turn with a board of {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Morten Mortensen was first to act from middle position. With a pot of about 9,000 in the middle of the table, Mortensen put out a bet of 6,000. Andy Lee, his only opponent, decided to call to see the river.

The river was the {8-Hearts} and Mortensen decided to bet again. This time he made it 8,500. Lee tanked for a bit but eventually landed on call. Mortensen quickly tabled his {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and his two pair was good enough to earn him the pot as Lee just mucked.

With that, Mortensen climbed to over 70,000 chips while Lee was left with a still healthy stack of around 115,000.

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante

The action folded around to the player in the small blind who raised to 1,500. Ryan Hong called from the big blind before both players watched the flop come {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

The player in the small blind bet 2,000. Hong called.

The turn brought the {8-Spades} and the small blind opted to check. Hong quickly reached for his chips and tossed out one 5,000-chip. His opponent looked over at his stack before opting to fold his hand.
