We are now back from lunch, the cards are in the air.

Powell Pushes

Mark Powell pushes all in for his last 65k, and is reraised to 110k by Matangi Tuifua. The rest of players fold. Mark rolls over the [ah 2c] which is behind to the pocket [9s 9c] of Matangi. The board runs out [4c qc kh 2d th] to let Matangi take down the 150k pot, and to knock out Mark.

Mark Powell is eliminated in 14th position taking home $1400 for his two days worth of work.

Golding is golden
Amber Villarosa limps into a pot, Richard Golding in the big blind jams for 188k and is called by Amber. The cards are shown to be Amber with her [5d 5s] slightly ahead of Richards [ks tc] the flop of [8s 3d 6c] offers no help but the [kd] falls on the turn and the river [qc] doesn't help Amber, to give Richard a much needed double up.

[Brett Kay]

Larks Last Stand
After of uncalled all ins on the feature table. Robert Lark was the first one to get called after pushing his chips all in with [qd 10c] he was looked up by Kon Koroneos who was ahead with the [ks qh]

The board came down [9d 3h 5c] needing some help the turn didn't deliver [ac] and nor did the river [3c]

Robert Lark finishes in 13th place and takes home $1400 for his efforts over the last two days.

We are getting closer to the final table with a minimum payout of $1900 at the final table.

Larcombe Lives On
David Larcombe pushes all in for his remaining chips to the reraise of Nathan Lewis. The cards are tabled with David holding the [qd js] vs Nathans [Ad 7d]. The board runs out [qh 4c 8s jh qs] Giving David the full house and some much needed chips.

Larcombe Leaves the Building
The very next hand David Larcombe again pushes all in and again is called by Nathan Lewis. The cards are shown with Davids [ac 2s] well behind to the [jh js] of Nathan. The board doesn't help either player.

David leaves with $1400 by finishing in 12th. We are now on the final table bubble, and $1700 for the next person who can use that to console themselves for missing the final table.

Thomas Toys
David Thomas calls out of the small blind and lets the big stack Nathan Lewis decide the pace of the hand. Nathan checks and we see a flop of [Ad 5c 2c] Thomas checks to Nathan who fires out a 60k bet which is reraised to 128k by David Thomas. After much deliberation and asking David if he has the wheel, Nathan folds. And David goes damn and shows Two black Aces.

[Brett Kay]

We are at the Final table

Trevor Mosatti limps and Darren Billinger pushes all in over the top for 75k. Trevor makes the call and tables [ah ad] which is well in front of Darrens [Ac Ks] The board offers some help with the flop [2c 9c 4s] and [4c] giving Darren a flush draw but the [js] on the river seals it.

Darren Billinger is our final table bubble, takes home $1700 and we are now at the final table.
We are taking a break so that we can organise stacks an move players.
