Stoltz Soaring

[user141292]

Andy Stoltz raised to 8,600 and an opponent reraised to 32,000 before the big blind moved his last 20,000 into the middle. Action folded back to Stoltz who then decided to pump up the action even more moving all in for 250,000.

The initial reraiser folded, and the shorty showed {k-Hearts}

, and was up against Stoltz's pocket jacks.

The board came {q-Spades}

and although the shorty hit his queen, Stoltz's set of jacks was good for the win. Stoltz is over 300,000.

A player under the gun raised to 6,200 and action folded over to David Steicke on the button. Steicke stuck all of his chips into the middle with a reraise to 71,300. Action then folded to Chad Wiedenhoeft in the big blind. Wiedenhoeft was the chip leader before this hand and made the call. The original raiser mucked {7-Hearts}

face up.

Steicke: {A-Diamonds}

Wiedenhoeft: {K-Diamonds}

The board ran through {9-Spades}

The Great Dane is Charging

[user141292]

Gus Hansen is making a charge for his second Aussie Millions Main Event title. It's unclear how the action went down, but all of the money was in the pot preflop.

Hansen: {a-Hearts}

Opponent:

The flop could not be much worse for Hansen, coming down {10-Hearts}

giving his opponent an open-ended straight flush draw. You win poker tournaments by fading these though, and fade is exactly what Gus did. The turn was the {5-Spades}

, and the river the {k-Spades}

resulting in the dealer shipping the pot over to Hansen, who now has 337,000.

Powell: {Q-?}

Trinh:

Five blanks later, Powell joined the rail. Trinh, meanwhile, now has 235,000 in chips.
