Not Enough Action, Boys?

Michael Chrisanthopoulos was recently moved to Michael 'TheBigSiCkO' Guzzardi's table and it seems as though they're table might be a little slow.

Both these young Melbournian's are making prop bets to keep themselves awake following some long time spent on the felt that involve flop's and last longers in the Main Event going on close by.

Currently, both of them are sitting high in the chip counts with 25,000 and 19,000 respectively.

Timoshenko Eliminated

APT Macau Champion Yevgeniy Timoshenko has hit the rail after he lost a race holding {J-?}{J-?} to an opponent's {A-?}{10-?}.

An ace on the flop was enough to see Timoshenko make yet another early tournament exit for the young star during this year's Aussie Millions.

Peter Aristidou Eliminated

Aristidou arrives . . . and then departs
Aristidou arrives . . . and then departs
The PokerNews blogging desk is situated right alongside the feature table. Peter Aristidou just took a seat next to Michael Binger and spoke a few words to us. "It's been a few months since I've been here!" laughed Aristidou, which was in reference to this feature table being used for regular Crown final tables.

Unfortunately for Aristdou, the first hand he played ended up being his last. Catching the action with the board reading {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}, Aristidou bet out 1,700 and was reraised all in by Binger. Aristidou called off the remainder of his 2,000 stack.

Binger: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Aristidou: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

Aristidou couldn't find his two-outer when the {8-Diamonds} landed on the river, and as Binger raked in the pot which sent him to 13,000, Aristidou was left having to wait another day to attempt a final table berth.

Rayan Nathan Sent Packing

Chip Me Up's Rayan Nathan opened to 600 from under the gun and found two callers including Tobias Garp in the big blind.

On a flop of {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} Nathan led out for 1,000 and found one call before Garp re-raised to 3,000. Nathan then followed it with another raise, this time all in for a total of 12,000. The button folded and Garp made the call.

Garp: {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Nathan: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

Then turn left Nathan drawing dead when the {4-Hearts} landed and before the river could be seen the Chip Me Up regular had left the tournament floor as Garp chipped up to over 37,000 in chips.

Schwartz: {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The river landed the {4-Clubs} and Schwartz sent his opponent to the rail while stacking up to 24,000 in chips.
