John Joannou is going for his second ring of the series at the 2010 Aussie Millions today. He took down the $1,100 H.O.R.S.E. event a few days ago and so far, has started off on the right foot. Here's a hand he just got into with opponent Vic Thorton.

Thorton: (X-X) {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

(X)
Joannou: (X-X) {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

(X)

We picked up the action on sixth street where Thorton fired a bet. Joannou made the call. On seventh, Thorton check-called a bet from Joannou. Joannou then revealed two more jacks and another three from his down cards for a full house. He's up to 20,500 while Thorton dropped to 18,900.
