The crowd has been brought to life here inside the Crown Poker Room after 4th and 5th place were decided within five minutes of each other. The most recent final table casualty was poker ambassador Mike Sexton who was eliminated by tournament chip leader Lee Watkinson.

Watkinson opened the pot with a pot-sized raise from the button and Sexton made the call from the big blind. The flop came down {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Sexton led out with a 20,000 bet. Watkinson responded with a raise, putting Sexton to a decision for all of his chips. As Sexton considered his decision, Van Marcus, an invested bystander, chided, "Don't worry about the money, Mike . . . You've got millions!"

Sexton eventually made the call, tabling {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Watkinson revealed {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts} for top pair and an open-ended straight draw.

"I need a diamond," said Sexton, before the dealer completed the board. The final two community cards brought running sevens, giving Watkinson the winning full house. Sexton's 4th place finish earned him $51,600 AUD in prize money.
