4:00pm: Healthy side event action in Perth

While the Main Event has been in full swing, there have been a range of side events running with some great numbers throughout the week. Currently there's a satellite to the next ANZPT event that's just kicked off in the main poker room. 36 runners have produced a prize pool that will give away four seats to the ANZPT Sydney Main Event which runs from April 13th-17th at StarCity Casino in Sydney.

3:50pm: Level up, blinds 12,000-24,000, ante 3,000

3:50pm: Marsters turns up the heat

On the final hand of the level, John Corr opened with a raise to 43,000 on the button before Tim Marster made it 120,000 in the small blind. Grant Levy made a reluctant fold in the big blind as Corr went into the tank. Again Marsters stared a hole through his opponent as Corr wriggled uncomfortably in his seat. He eventually folded and Marsters flashed the [2c]!

3:45pm: Let's see a flop

In a rare multi-way pot, Tim Marsters opened to 41,000 and found two callers in Grant Levy and John Corr in the big blind. Marsters was staring down Corr intently as the flop landed [5s][th][9d]. Action checked around and the turn brought the [7h]. Corr and Marsters checked again, but Levy decided to take a stab with a bet of 61,000. Corr folded and Marsters flashed the [2d][2h] before also folding. Levy repaid the gesture as he flashed [9h][8h] for a pair and straight-flush draw!

3:35pm: Patrick Kearns eliminated in 5th place

John Corr opened with a raise to 45,000 before Patrick Kearns moved all in for his last 195,000. Grant Levy made a reluctant fold of [kd][qd] as Corr made the call.

Kearns: [ks][qs]
Corr: [as][js]

Levy had folded two of Kearns' outs and he couldn't find any more help on the board of [3d][9c][2d][2h][jc]. Kearns departs in 5th place for $31,600.

3:20pm: Nice call Corr

John Corr has just clipped Aaron Lim to put a dent in the aggression of the Perth youngster. Catching the action on a flop of [9h][4h][3s], Lim check-called a bet of 85,000 before both checked the [ac] turn. The [qc] hit the river and Lim came out swinging with a bet of 132,000.

Corr went into the tank for several minutes before making the call.

Lim cringed and opened [3c][5s] for just a pair of threes as Corr showed [8c][8h] for the best hand. Corr is now up to 850,000 with Lim back to 950,000.

3:00pm: Just in time for Kearns

Patrick Kearns is not afraid to play a short stack. After surviving on day three as the short stack of the final 32 players, Kearns managed to navigate his way to the final table, and now the final five.

After raise-folding a few moments ago, Kearns was forced to make a stand as he moved his last 134,000 into the middle with [qd][7d] and found a call from Aaron Lim with [ah][4c].

The board ran out [ks][6s][qc][qh][td] to give Kearns trip queens and a much-needed double up to 280,000.

2:50pm: Play resumes

The five remaining players are back in action with the chip counts as follows:

Aaron Lim - 1,320,000
Grant Levy - 1,250,000
Tim Marsters - 1,150,000
John Corr - 660,000
Patrick Kearns - 218,000
