Varoxis: DOUBLE NINES (Clubs & Hearts)
Mizzi: (AC)(JC)

THE FLOP: (9S)(AS)(2S)

Mizzi has the best possible pair, but Varoxis has the early lead with three nines and goes ALL-IN.

2.

Obrestad: (4D)(5H)
Shelley: (AS)(8C)

THE FLOP: (9H)(JD)(4H)

Obrestad leads with the red fours.

TURN: JACK OF HEARTS

Not only does Obrestad have two red pairings, she also has a heart flush draw...problem is, she FOLDS.

The blinds increase to 15/30K.

3.

Jensen: (AD)(KH)
Mizzi: (AC)(2C)

THE FLOP: (KD)(3S)(5D)

Jensen has hit the top pair, but Mizzi has a wheel draw.

TURN: 10 OF DIAMONDS

Jensen has added a diamond flush draw to his list of possibilities.

RIVER: 5 OF SPADES- JENSEN WINS 1.2M+ POT!

4.

Krost: BLACK JACKS
Shelly: BLACK SEVENS

THE FLOP: (5D)(3D)(8C)- DUD

After that, Shelly goes ALL-IN.

TURN: 8 OF DIAMONDS

Shelly must complete his Full House with one of the red sevens or else he's gone...

RIVER: 2 OF HEARTS- ELIMINATED

...NO, so he leaves in eighth place with AUD$125K.

5.

Krost: DOUBLE SEVENS (Clubs & Hearts)
Obrestad (ALL-IN): (AC)(JH)

THE FLOP: (7S)(QC)(KS)

Obrestad will all but close this hand out if she can get a 10 to appear next for the Broadway Straight. In the meantime, she's trailing by quite a bit.

TURN: 5 OF DIAMONDS- DUD
RIVER: KING OF HEARTS- ELIMINATED BY A FULL HOUSE

Obrestad leaves with the seventh-place prize of AUD $175K; she's the last woman sent packing during this tournament.

6.

Friedlander: (5C)(7D)
Jetten: (10S)(QS)
Krost: (JH)(KH)

THE FLOP: (9D)(8D)(8H)

Both Friedlander and Jetten have inside straight draws.

TURN: JACK OF SPADES- JETTEN STRAIGHT!

Because he's drawing dead at this point, Friedlander folds.

RIVER: 5 OF HEARTS- JETTEN WINS 1.25M POT!

The blinds are now at 20/40K.

7.

Friedlander (ALL-IN): BLACK SEVENS
Varoxis: (KS)(AH)

THE FLOP: (9D)(KD)(2H)
TURN: KING OF HEARTS

The only thing that will save Friedlander is a seven to complete his FH, and it is...

RIVER: JACK OF SPADES- OUT

...NOT there on the river, so he'll have to settle for sixth place and a quarter million Aussie dollars.

NEW CHIP COUNT:

1. Sorel- 4,935,000
2. Tyron- 2.97 million
3. Frederik- 2,665,000
4. Kosta- 2,275,000
5. Peter- 2,155,000

8.

Jensen: (8S)(9S)
Mizzi: RED SEVENS

THE FLOP: (4S)(5D)(3S)

Jensen has an instant flush draw, although Mizzi has a gutshot straight draw.

TURN: 2 OF DIAMONDS

An Ace or six on the river will result in a split pot, since both of these guys would have a 2-6 straight...but that's not necessary, as Jensen makes the big chip leader fold to win this hand.

FINAL HAND OF THE NIGHT:

Varoxis: (AH)(KS)
Mizzi: (9D)(JC)

THE FLOP: (QC)(QH)(2H)- DUD

Mizzi folds out Varoxis this time to end the night with a win.
