Huang's Kings Hold Up

Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang just doubled up, and he's now well over the average stack. The ANZPT chief Danny McDonagh shared the good news with us, and the action went down like this.

On a {5-}{3-}{8-} flop with around 35,000 chips in the middle it seemed like Huang had put out a bet of 9,000. His opponent went into the tank for several minutes, and eventually the clock was called. Huang was finally faced with a shove, and he called right away.

Huang showed {K-}{K-} and was up against {4-}{4-}. The turn brought a {9-}, and the river a {2-} giving the Team PokerStars Pro a nice double up.

Hachem Busts, Bain Takes The Lead

Joe Hachem has just been knocked out. We did not catch the action, but Tristan Bain was more than happy to tell us what went down.

On a {4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop Hachem and Bain went at it. After a raising war Hachem shoved all in, and Bain called with {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Hachem showed {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, and hit his flush on the {Q-Clubs} turn. It wasn't over yet, because Bain took the pot when the {4-Diamonds} gave him a full house.

Bain was the first player to reach 200,000, and while Hachem's no longer in the running for the first place prize of A$172,500 all eyes will be on Bain.
