Feature Table Drama

There were five players to the flop which landed {3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. David Olson led out for 11,000, Chris Brammer raised it up to 25,000 and Olson moved all in for about 64,000. Brammer made the call and was in good shape with {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Olson showed down {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and would need to catch a club for the win.

The turn card was the {9-Diamonds} giving Brammer a full house, but still not closing the door on Olson, who now could hit either a nine or ten for the win. And hit a nine or ten is just what he did when the {10-Hearts} peeled onto the felt, giving Olson the winning full house and about 150,000.

Chris Brammer is now down to about 80,000.

Deuces Never Looses

Carl Booth just passed the last of his chips over to Joel Cohen and is officially out of the main event.

Booth got it all in preflop holding pocket twos against Joel Cohen's {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} in a race situation.

The {10-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} flop hit Cohen hard, giving him top pair and a gutshot straight draw, and leaving Booth drawing to two outs.

The turn and river bricked out moments later, and Booth joined the many others who've hit the felt here on Day 2.

After the hand, we counted Cohen at 160,000 in chips.

Mike O'Grady is Not Camera Shy

An unknown at table 14 raised it up to 18,000 and action folded around to Mike O'Grady in the big blind. O'Grady stood up and asked "why so much?" He then continued to chat saying "If this were online, I would be all in already," before finally pushing al in for about 60,000.

O'Grady's opponent snap-called and turned over pocket threes, and O'Grady was well ahead with pocket tens. The board rolled out {7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and O'Grady knocked out his opponent and is up to 110,000.

Katastrophe in Crown Town

Mark Kassis has just been eliminated from the 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event.

Action folded around the table to Kassis in the small blind and he completed the bet. The big blind checked and the two went heads-up to an {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop, which both checked.

The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and Kassis fired 5,000. His opponent then raised it up to 12,000 and Kassis moved all in over the top for approximately 32,000.

"Do you want me to call?" asked his opponent.

"Do what you want, sir," replied Kassis.

After the exchange, a call was made and Kassis tabled {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for bottom two pair. His opponent then showed {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a flush draw.

The {4-Diamonds} then fell on the river, completing Kassis' opponent's flush, subsequently sending Kassis to the rail.

Aristidou's Chip Aristocrasy

Peter Aristidou just stacked another opponent to move to 165,000 in chips for the main event.

His opponent got the last of his chips into the middle -- 10,700 worth -- holding {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, and Aristidou looked him up holding pocket threes.

The ensuing flop came {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Aristidou spiked a third three, putting his opponent in bad shape. The turn and river then filled out {Q-Clubs}, {9-Hearts} and Aristidou's set held up to win the pot.

Wong Doubles

Jimmy Wong and Joel Dodds got into a bit of a tussle after the dinner break. They got all their chips in preflop.

The flop came down {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

Wong doubled through with his {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} against Dodds' {a-Spades}{3-Spades}.

Banana Thief Takes Some Chips

Aleks "bananatheif" Brkovic has come back from dinner and is already stacking more chips as he has just eliminated an opponent.

All the chips went in the middle preflop. Brkovic tabled {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} and his opponent had {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

The board ran down {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and with that, Brkovic was up to 140,000 and his opponent probably went to finish his leftovers from dinner.

SPIN-dler Out

Just before the break, Benny Spindler min raised preflop and his opponent Nico Behling made the call.

The flop brought the {9-Clubs}{j-Spades} and the {7-Spades}. Behling shoved all in and Spindler made the call.

Behling tabled {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Spindler showed {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

The turn brought the {k-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Clubs} and with that, Spindler was out the door.
