3:30pm - Daniel builds then

Three-way action with Daniel Noja out of the blocks racing. He made some great hands against Tony Dunst and then took chips from Karl Krautschneider. He passes Dunst to go second in chips.

Then one of the classic match up hands...

Noja had top pair on the flop while Dunst had one over card and a flush draw with two cards to come - all the chips went in at this point. Tony made the flush on the turn but it was the Js, giving Noja trips. No full house on the river though.

It was down to Dunst to collect the last of Daniel Noja's chip. Noja went all-in with Kc-Jc, Dunst calling with Ac-Qc. Dunst's hand had a good lead although both players made a club flush. But Dunst's ace won the day.

Daniel Noja third in the inaugral ANZPT Adelaide main event, his prize $64,565

3:03pm - One short stack left

American Mike Stecker hadn't had too many opportunities to advance during the final table, his 390,000 stack quickly reduced to 230,000. He was dealt A-4 and with the blinds at 10,000-20,0000 saw the chance to double up before his stack was eroded compelety. Karl Krautschneider once again obliged with a call, showing A-Q to dominate Mike's hand.

After the board came A-Q-3 Mike's hopes were pinned to runner-runner 4s or a five and a deuce. No such luck and Krautschneider moved further ahead as we go three-way.

Shortly after this the chip counts were

Karl Krautschneider - 2,240,000
Tony Dunst - 1,240,000
Daniel Noja - 400,000

Mike Stecker in fourth place for $52,825.

3:00pm - Pandemonium 3

Julius Colman wasn't fully out of his seat before Dean Nyberg, first to speak, upped the pot by 40,000. Karl Krautschneider, who can't see the table over all his stack, decided to invest.

The flop came Ah-Ad-8d, Nyberg, holding the Qd-Jd, bet 60,000. Krautschneider flat called. The 6d appears on the turn and this time Dean checked his flush. Krautschneider obliged with an 80,000 bet, which Nyberg promptly raised to 225,000. Again Krautschneider called, the hole in his chip stack now allowing him some kind of view of the table. A 7h rivered and Nyberg shipped the remainder of his 500K stack into the middle. Krautschneider never looked like folding, holding the Kh-Th for the nut flush.

Dean Nyberg, local Adelaide boy, will have to be content with fifth place this year

Dean Nyberg fifth in the main event for $41,085

2:55pm - Pandemonium 2

The dust hadn't settled on Celina Lin's departure when Julius Colman decided he needed to find a few more chips. Colman hadn't had good fortune but on a flop of J-4-5 and holding Q-J he decided it is time to put it all on the line after Tony Dunst had raised pre-flop. Dean Nyberg had called pre-flop but got out of the way after Dunst called the all-in. Dunst flipped over two Jacks for top set - Colman started to pack his bags. A king on the turn finished Colman's day.

Julius Colman, sixth in the ANZPT Adelaide main event - $29,345

2:50pm - Pandemonium

Celina Lin, one of the short stacks, went all-in, a response to Daniel Noja's original raise under-the-gun. Five players fold, perhaps what she was looking for holding as she doespocket sixes. Daniel Noja makes the call though with a hand which has featured in all the eliminations today A-K. Celina has no luck on the A-3Q flop. A four on the turn only leaves her two outs, neither of which appear.

We lose Celina Lin from the final table in seventh place today - a great result given here position early on day two.

Celina Lin, finishes in seventh place for $23,475

2:00pm - The acion slows

After the loss of James Broom the table has settled down somewhat.

A big hand sees Daniel Noja doubling up his remaining 230,000 stack, catching two pairs on the flop with his Q-J against Tony Dunst's pocket sevens.

Some 90 minutes after the loss of James Broom it's Bruno Potaro getting his chips all-in again against Karl Krautschneider. Potaro had bet 100,000 on a flop of 9-K-3. Krautschneider tested the waters with a min raise to 200,000. Potaro had shown himself to be the kind of player not to back away from such situations, especially like now holding A-K, and raised all-in. Krautschneider, probably expecting that his Q-Q was good, called. A ten on the turn gave Krautschneider four more outs and he did it the hard way, catching a queen on the river. Krautschneider jumped to over 1.5 million.

Bruno Potaro eliminated in eighth place for $17,610.
