Reza Houshmadi & Reza Vakili Eliminated in 4th Place ($10,900 AUD)

Reza Houshmadi & Reza Vakili have become the next players eliminated, much to the delight of Stewart Scott and Raj Ramakrishnan who are still very short on chips.

Action folded to Mick Guttmann in the small blind who limped in. The Reza team moved all in, and Guttmann instantly snap called, whacking {A-Hearts}{a-Clubs} onto the table.

Things were looking good for Guttmann who would only be up against {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}. The board bricked out adding to the Guttmann/Judah chip lead.

John Tran & Scott Hatchby Eliminated in 5th Place ($8,720 AUD)

John Tran & Scott Hatchby have been eliminated in a monster pot.

Preflop, Stewart Scott opened the bidding to 40,000 and action passed to Hatchby in the small blind. He announced all in for around 100,000. The next player to act was Mel Judah who re-pushed for around 112,000 total. Action was back on Scott and after pondering his options he called covering both.

This delighted the sizeable crowd on the rail, who let out a mighty cheer.

Scott: {A-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Hatchby: {A-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Judah: {Q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} leaving the best preflop hand to virtually triple through.

Judah and Guttmann move up to the chip lead at over 300,000. Stewart Scott and Raj Ramakrishnan are left on life support at only about 25,000. While Scott Hatchby and John Tran are eliminated.

Billy Jordanou & Joey Baker Eliminated in 6th Place ($6,540 AUD)

Billy Jordanou and Joey Baker have been eliminated.

Preflop Jordanou limped in from the small blind and Carolyn Tulloch checked her option. The flop came {10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and both players checked.

The {4-Spades} hit the turn and Jordanou led 16,000, only to be raised by Tulloch to 32,000. This would be just a scartch under Jordanou's stack and after considering his options for a good while he eventually opted to move all in.

Tulloch made the call and tabled {Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for two pair, well ahead of Jordanou's {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

That would be all she wrote for Baker and Jordanou with the river {3-Spades} being a brick.
