Chris Fullwood - NPL Rail Aussie Millions - Renamed

[mr_niceguy_1979]

Chris just more than doubled up through Grant Levy when he shoved on a flop of As 9s 10s.

Grant called holding A h 6 s.

Chris had Ks Jd for a gut shout and redraw to the nuts.

J spades on turn and a huge cheer went up. Awesome stuff. I think I peed a little.

And Chris is an NPL player who has played ring games a few times at the casino but has never bought into a tournament.

After this hand Fullwood doubled to 530,000. Levy is down to roughly 400,000
Blinds: 4000/8000 Ante: 1000

If Only It Were Always that Easy
If there were one superpower that we could have, it would probably be the ability to call for a card when we need it. After Francis Ellis opened for 21,000 from under the gun and Annika Ivert called on the button, Sorel Mizzi raised for half of his stack to roughly 102,000. Ellis quickly go out of the way, but Ivert must have surprised Mizzi by moving all in. We assume Mizzi probably figured he was flipping coins with Ivert; he made the call for 217,000 total.

Ivert: [ks] [kd]
Mizzi: [kc] [qc]

Whoops! Mizzi was in very bad shape against Ivert's kings, but the flop came down [4c] [5s] [6c] to give him a flush draw. With the television camera rolling and a floor supervisor announcing the action, Mizzi said three simple words in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Jack of clubs."

Was it a marked card, a psychic power, or just plain random luck? The dealer burned and turned, producing the [jc] to fill Mizzi's flush. Ivert was drawing dead and counted out the chips necessary to pay off Mizzi. He's up to 480,000 now. Ivert is down to 600,000.

Hoi Cheung Eliminated in 24th Place (AU$50,000)

Dixon Ruecker took most of Hoi Cheung's chips five minutes ago. Now he has the rest of them. Cheung moved all in from the small blind with [Qd] [5d] after Christian Heich opened from the cutoff for 21,000. Ruecker was in the big blind and re-shoved with [ac] [qh]. That was enough to fold Heich and leave Cheung drawing as a three-to-one underdog. It was even worse than that, however, when Heich told the table he folded pocket fives.

The board ran out [Kh] [Kd] [10s] [9c] [3d], which was no help for Cheung. He's out in 24th place, the first of our AU$50,000 winners.

Down to 22

Jonathan Plens Eliminated in 23rd Place (AU$50,000)

Jonathan Plens was unlucky twice in the same hand. First, it was unlucky for him to be dealt [Ad] [6c] in the small blind after Tino Lechich raised the button to 22,000. Plens moved in for 123,000 and was called by Lechich, who tabled [ac] [8s]. Unlucky.

The other piece of bad luck for Plens came after a flop of [10s] [kh] [jd]was dealt. Plens had almost half the deck for a chop -- two aces, three kings, four queens, three jacks, three tens and four nines -- but the board ran out [5h][3d], two small cards that didn't pair his kicker. As a result Lechich's eight kicker played and allowed him to drag the pot.

Plens is out in 23rd place, earning AU$50,000. Lechich has more than one million chips.
