board, Nauhria had led out for 45,000 into a pot of around 100,000. Oger tanked for quite some time before making the call. Nauhria mucked as Oger showed 
.
Five-handed action has been quite slow.
There has been a couple of walks and one of the few flops we saw was in a hand between Nathan Gubieski and Nicolas Oger. Gubieski had opened the button to 32,000 and Oger called from the big blind. On the 
flop, Oger check-folded to a bet of 24,000.

Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Ante: 2,000
Amant Nauhria opened under the gun to 26,000 with Nicolas Oger calling in middle position and Stanislav Chataline coming along in the big blind to see a flop of 
.
Action checked to Nauhria who continued for 34,000. Oger got out of the way but Chataline made the call as the 
fell on the turn. Again Chataline checked and Nauhria bet another 42,000. Chataline thought briefly before declaring himself all in. Nauhria asked for a count. It was an additional 97,000 to Nauhria and he was happy enough with that price to make the call.
Chataline: 
Nauhria: 
Chataline had turned the nut spade flush draw to go with his second pair, but Nauhria��s creative UTG-raise had turned gold with two pair.
The river was a blank with the completing the board to leave Chataline to pick up NZ$22,365 for his 6th place finish.

A huge swing of chips had just shifted the momentum from Amant Nauhria over to Nathan Gubieski as the two collided in a huge pot.
It started with David Lim opening to 25,000 from the cutoff. Nauhria flat-called in the small blind before Gubieski squeezed to 93,000 from the big blind. Lim got out of the way but Nauhria called again for the second time in the hand.
With Nauhria intently staring down his opponent, the flop would land 
. Nauhria took a look at the board and then tried to beat his opponent to the punch by moving all in. Gubieski took a deep breath and made the call.
Nauhria: 
Gubieski: 
Nauhria had caught a flush draw but couldn��t shake Gubieski from top pair. The dealer burned a card and a roar went up when the 
appeared to give Nauhria a flush to take the lead, but the hand wasn��t over there. Gubieski had a bigger flush draw and the 
river card connected to the disgust of Nauhria who stood and walked from the table.
Gubieski doubles up to around 750,000 with Nauhria now in danger of losing the chip lead as he slips to 1.25 million.
