Leigh Warne has emerged as our new chip leader after taking down a monsterous pot. The board read when Warne fired out a bet of 10,000 chips. His opponent moved all in and Warne snap-called.
His opponent tabled but Warne flipped for the straight to collect the pot and jump out to a massive stack of 55,000 chips.
"Lost one on 30!" came the call from the dealer on table 30. Immediately after that call, another just like it came from the dealer on table 31.
Ever the jokester, Theo Rousalis, sitting on table 32, then cried "Lost one on 32!" in jest and to the laughter of his table mates. However, Rousalis spoke too soon and in the very next hand, Rousalis lost a race holding against an opponent's when a king spiked on the flop to eliminate Rousalis from today's event.
Andrew Jeffreys has just improved to 25,000 after his kings held up against queens and A-K in what was a three-way, preflop all-in contest.
Tim Healy opened the pot with a raise to 1,800 from middle position. Jeffreys then moved all in for 7,925 from late position, and when the action reached Adam Malishev in the cutoff, he too moved all in and had both of his opponents covered. The action then returned to Healy, who tanked for quite some time before eventually making the call:
Healy:
Jeffreys:
Malishev:
The community cards came and Jeffreys' kings proved best, sending him to 25,000. Healy was eliminated on the hand, while Malishev dropped to 7,800.
