Another Break

[user75032]

With the elimination of Elliot Smith, there is another break so that the table can be set up for heads-up play. The cash is on its way up from the vault, to be placed on the table between the two players.

Updated chip counts are:

Stewart Scott - 10.7 million
Peter Rho - 2.9 million

We're down to an Aussie and an American. The Aussie has a greater than three-to-one chip lead. Could this finally be the year that an Australian claims the Aussie Millions Main Event title?
