Nedanovski Reels Them In

Kris Nedanovski open raised preflop to 1,700 from the hijack with the cutoff, both the blinds making the call.

The gaggle took an {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop and with both the blinds check Nedanovski made a tiny bet of 1,050, the cutoff called, with the small blind getting out of the way.

The big blind check-raised to 2,500 and both Nedanvoski and the cutoff made the call.

The three players checked off both the {4-Spades} turn and {3-Clubs} river and the two opponents mucked when they saw Nedanovski show down his {A-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

Nedanovski moves up to 22,000.

Adgee Out

No More Justice
No More Justice
Andrew Jeffreys has been eliminated after he committed his last chips with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and ran into an opponent's {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

Jeffreys couldn't find an ace to save himself as the board ran out {J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and he was sent to the exit.

Not Aces

Jim Sachinidis has every reason to hate aces.

Holding kings he ran into an opponent with aces to leave him gasping for chips.

Just a few hands after losing most of his chips he found a great spot to double back through when he picked up the rockets.

After raising preflop a {j-?}{4-?}{5-?} flop looked to be just what the doctor ordered for Sachinidis.

It wasn't to be after all the chips went in Sachinidis found that his opponent had made a cheeky preflop call with {4-?}{5-?} to flop two pair.

Sachinidis wasn't able to catch any of his outs, so out he goes today.

Aces Make Adgee Angry

Andrew Jeffreys should probably stick to playing quality holdings like {6-Spades}{2-Spades}. He recently tried to get something happening with {A-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}.

Jeffreys limped in with aces and took a {7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop. The big blind took the lead firing out a bet and Adgee smooth called happy to set the trap. The turn {3-Clubs} saw both players check, and the river repeated the {7-Diamonds}.

The big blind checked again, and Adgee bet for value, with the opponent responding by moving all in. Jeffreys made a quick call, followed by a couple of expletives when his opponent showed {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

Jeffreys is down to about 6,000.

Yes! Straight....Oh.

Over on Iwan Jones' table, the chips went flying between two players on the turn of a {4-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} board.

Player 1: {5-Clubs} {3-Clubs}
Player 2: {6-Spades} {6-Hearts}

As the dealer put out the {7-Spades} on the river, the first player cheered in celebration upon making his straight. Player 2 quickly poured cold water on it declaring "Full boat, mate."

Player 1's face quickly transformed to a knowing look of sadness as he miserably departed the table.

Topakas Rockets

With a raise to 700 and call in front of him, Steve "Big Show" Topakas popped it up to 3,800 from the button. The player in the small blind tossed out his last 400 chips as the two other players stepped aside.

Topakas flipped over {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} as the small blind revealed the rather moderate {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. The board ran out {3-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Topakas makes the nut flush to climb up to 11,000.

Boxell Runs Into King McIver

Dean McIver raised it up to 550 before Leo Boxell popped it to 1,850 from the small blind. McIver put in another raise to make it 5,000 to go and Boxell made the call.

On the flop of {3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} Boxell moved all in for his last 9,800 but McIver made a quick call and tabled pocket kings to be well ahead of Boxell's pocket nines.

The turn and river bricked out and Boxell was sent to the rail as McIver moves up to 28,000 chips.

A Little Wonky

Vincent "Wonky" Wan won this event two years ago, but he's got a long road ahead if he's to add another Aussie Millions trophy to his cabinet in this event, after taking a hit to his stack.

Wan raised from the cutoff to 600, before a player in the small blind chirped that Wan was the "perennial stealer" before raising to 1,900. The big blind called, as did Wan to see a {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop.

The small blind moved all in for his last 1,050 causing the big blind to fold, but Wan made the call.

Wan: {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

The turn and river bricked out and despite doubling up, the gentleman in the small blind continued his verbal attack as Wan defended, "I thought you were all in preflop?" Wan is down to 2,600.
