With only 100 big blinds in play, most of the action is all in preflop. While the short stacks are getting doubled, and in one case tripled up, the chips are starting to even out with eight remaining. Benoit Laurence remains the short stack with only about two big blinds.

The current level is 15,000/30,000 with a 4,000 ante.

Allan Petitclerc shoved all in for 140,000 and Malcom Fraser called before Shelley Rapp shoved all in for about 300,000 more. Fraser folded and Petitclerc was at risk with against the of Rapp.

The board came out and Petitclerc cheered, then cursed, then cheered again when he realized he did indeed hit the flop better than Rapp.

Then Jared Newcombe doubled through Fraser and his once huge chip lead has been spread around the table and he is now in the middle of the pack.
