Zhi doubles up

Andy Gelfand makes it $30,000 from the cutoff and Zhi Hong Ma moves all in from the small blind for an additional $64,000. Andy deliberates, and makes the call, opening the {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, but finds himself in trouble when Zhi shows him the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}.

The board reads {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Zhi is back in the game.

The crowd is swelling

The Crown Poker Room is home to the largest plasma screen in the Southern Hemisphere, taking up almost the entire western wall of the room.

It is just as well as they are 5 deep on the rail trying to see a piece of the action.

Karim eliminated!

Karim Jomeen makes it $22,000 UTG, and it is folded around to Gabriel Xiourouffa on the button. He takes a quick glance at his cards and as has been the tradition for the last few hands pushes his stack all in. The blinds fold and Karim goes into the tank.

Karim eventually makes the call and rolls over {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, but cannot believe it when Gabriel shows him {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

The flop is the {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs},

The Turn card is the {Q-Spades} and there is an uproar from the crowd as anticipation builds for the River.

It is the {7-Hearts} and Karim is on the rail, picking up $11,588 in 8th position.
