In a battle of the blinds, Vesko Zmukic and Paul Newey were on the turn and the former checked. Newey made it 1,350 to go and Zmukic came along to see the on the river. Zmukic now bet 2,200 and Newey reluctantly folded.

Both players were among the dozen qualifiers that earned their seat in yesterday's A$2,800 satellite.
