It took us a while to spot Ben Wilinofsky in the crowd today. We knew he was here as we saw him just before play started. There was also the quandary of who the player covering most of his face with a head scarf was. Then it clicked and we had the answer to both questions.
The man and the scarf have left the scene though after Wilinofsky put his tournament on the line with an open-ended straight draw. Carter Swidler was his opponent and went nowhere with his pocket aces. They held up and his stack rose to 42,000.

Jorn Walthaus's stack has risen to 47,000 after he rivered in a flush in a hand against heavyweights Dermot Blain and Matt Ashton.
All three were still involved once the hand had reached the river of a board. Action checked to Walthaus on the button and he bet 4,500. Ashton tank-folded from the big blind and Blain called from early position but folded upon seeing his Dutch opponent's .

"Ship it," we heard an overly excited Mikel Habb bellow, a celebration that caught the attention of the entire room. We made our way over to discover that he had just eliminated an opponent after spiking the river.
We're not sure of the action, but it appeared the chips went in on the river with the board reading . Habb had the out in front of him for a rivered set, which had cracked the set of his opponent. Habb, who finished 23rd in the WSOP APAC Main Event back in October, continued to celebrate while Chris Moorman, who was also seated at the table, told us, "He got all my chips as well."
It looks like Level 3 belongs to Habb.

Back in November, Dylan Wilkerson topped a field of 166 players to win the World Poker Tour Emperors Palace Poker Classic for $147,509. Now, the well-respected pro is in Melbourne seeking another big score, and he's well on his way to doing it.
In a recent hand, a player opened for 600 and received a call from another player in middle position. Wilkerson then three-bet to 3,000 from the small blind, the initial raiser called, and the limped got out of the way to make it heads-up action to the flop, which they both checked.
When the appeared on the turn, Wilkerson led out for 4,500 and his opponent raised all in for roughly 13,000. Wilkerson called with the , which was well out in front of his opponent's . The river was of no consequence, and Wilkerson was pushed the juicy pot.

Maria Ho was in the midst of action for a lot of today, her stack roller-coasting as she went. Unfortunately she had one dip too many for her stack to cope with and busted.
She was rather unlucky though as she ran kings into the aces of WSOP Main Event runner up Felix Stephensen. She told PokerNews they were both in late position meaning it was impossible to get away from. She's not downbeat though and is looking forward to Australia Day festivities tomorrow before playing more events.

Thomas Muehloecker's stack has dipped below the 20,000-mark after he tried and failed with) the old check-raise manoeuvre on James Rann.
The flop was out as and Rann bet 1,500 from the button and called when raised to 4,500. Both players checked the turn before Muehloecker check-folded to a 4,500 bet on the river.
