Up and Out

Short stack Joe Cabret only started the day with 9,800 in chips and managed to double up to 17,500 before eventually losing the lot to David Olson.

Olson opened the pot with a raise to 2,500 and when the action reached Cabret, he moved all in for about 17,000 holding {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Olson snap-called with pocket aces and the board ran out {Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Spades}, allowing the bullets to hold up and subsequently sending Cabret to the rail.

Durrrr Decimated, Then Done

Tom "durrrr" Dwan moved all in for his last 14,000 and was called by an opponent in the big blind who had about 12,000 total. Dwan flipped over the {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and was completely dominated by his opponents {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

The board came out {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Spades} and Dwan was crippled and left with about 2,000.

A few moments later Dwan got the rest of chips in with {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and was up against an opponent who held {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. The board brought no help for Dwan, and he has been eliminated from the 2010 Aussie Millions.

Annette _85K

We didn't see the action, but Gary Retallick was all in for his last 12,000 and was called by Annette Obrestad.

Retallick: {A-?}{J-?}
Obrestad: {a-?}{q-?}

The board shot out {4-?}{k-?}{4-?}{5-?}{2-?} knocking Retalick out, and giving Obrestad about 85,000.

Gray Skies for Jason

The flop showed {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Jason Gray made it 20,000 an opponent on the button moved all in and Gray made the call.

Gray: {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The turn brought the {5-Spades} and the river a {7-Spades} and that was all she wrote for Gray.

Greenstein Sends One Off

After a flop of {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} a player under the gun made it 3,900 to go. The small blind bumped it up to 15,000 before Barry Greenstein in the big blind made it 70,000, or all of his chips. The player under the gun folded and the small blind made the call.

Greenstein tabled {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} versus his opponents {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} completing Greenstein's flush. The river brought the {6-Diamonds} and Greenstein scooped in the pot and is now at 102,000 while his opponent hit the rail.

Booth Gives Demetriou the Boot

Local Melbournian and Crown's 2009 Poker Player of the Year Andrew Demetriou has just been eliminated from the main event by Carl Booth.

Demetriou limped into the pot before Booth kicked it up to 4,500; Demetriou called.

The flop came {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Demetriou fired a 7,000 bet. Booth then raised, putting him all in and Demetriou called:

Booth: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Demetriou: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The turn and river then filled out {3-Diamonds}, {4-Clubs} and Booth's queens held up to send Demetriou home early.

After the hand, Booth stacked up just over 100,000 in chips.

Chips Flying At the Feature Table

Action started picking up on the feature table, with two big hands back to back. The first saw Dan Harrington move all in for about 20,000. Gus Hansen tanked for quite some time before finally folding, however Michael Nolton decided to make the call.

Harrington showed down pocket kings, and was in good shape against his opponents {a-?}{q-?}. The board rolled out {4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Harrington doubled up to 45,000. Nolton is down to a little under 30,000.

The very next hand Gus Hansen needed no critical thinking to figure it was a good idea to get all his chips into the middle. Hansen held aces against Van Marcus' queens, and the dealer spread out a {3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades} board pushing Hansen up to about 80,000.

Van Marcus is now just under 90,000.

Marsters Throws the Knockout Punch

Jeff Fenech opened from middle position for 4,500. Tim "TurnRiva" Marsters threw his remaining chips (80,000) in the middle. Fenech added his chips in the middle and the two were off to the flop.

Fenech tabled {A-Spades}{9-Clubs} while Marsters showed {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} .

The board rolled out {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Fenech hit the mat - err - the rail.

Colman Adds a Little

Andrew Feldman rised from middle position to 2,300 and Julius Colman called on the button. Louise Ingram in the big blind also called.

The flop came down {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and action checked around. The turn was the {7-Spades} and action checked over to Colman. He fired in a bet of 4,500. Ingram folded and then Feldman folded as well. Colman improved to 52,000 and Feldman dropped a little to 88,000.
