3:35pm: Guzzardi gutted
A devastating blow to Michael Guzzardi has left him on the verge of elimination with 11 players remaining in the ANZPT Darwin Main Event.
Guzzardi opened to 4,800 before Aaron Benton moved all in for 48,200. Benton had done this successfully on three or four occasions prior which may have weighted Guzzardi towards making the call.
Guzzardi opened [8s][8h] with Benton tabling the overcards with [ad][qc]. One man who know how to win races is Aaron Benton, and this was no exception as the board was spread [qd][qc][5h][js][6s]. Benton doubles up to 100,000 with Guzzardi left with just 7,700 in pocket change.
3:20pm: Double for Taylor
Mark Taylor has doubled up through Michael Guzzardi after moving all in on a flop of [ks][js][9h]. Guzzardi made the call with [ac][jd] but found himself trailing the [kd][qs] of Taylor.
The [td] turn improved Taylor to a straight which held on the [9c] river. Taylor doubles to 80,000 with Guzzardi back to 60,000.
3:10pm: Cawthorne cut
Glenn Parry opened to 6,000 from the small blind before Jeffrey Cawthorne moved all in from the big blind for a total of around 30,000. It represented most of Parry's stack and after a few minutes of painful consideration he made the call and slammed [9c][9d] down onto the table. Cawthorne held [ks][jc] and the race was on.
Parry took the lead with a set on the [9h][8c][js] flop but it wasn't meant to be easy as the [kd] turn brought some hope for Cawthorne.
Parry couldn't watch as the [2h] safely appeared on the river to eliminate Cawthorne from the tournament.

2:55pm: Play resumes
The dynamic dozen are back in their seats following the break. We're two eliminations away from the points, and possibly crowning Danny Chevalier as ANZ Player of the Year, and three more eliminations from the cash.
Jack Drake has improved on his overnight lead with Jonathan Dangio the next best.
