Jetten Adding More Chips

Fresh off his elimination of [Removed:297] in 13th place, Peter Jetten was back at it at a new table to try and pick up some more chips. Let's see how he did.

In a blind-versus-blind battle, Jetten fired the flop for 20,000 after it came {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Kosmas Dratsas called. After the {2-Diamonds} on the turn, Jetten barreled again, making it 55,000 to go. Dratsas called.

The river was the {Q-Spades} and Jetten fired 160,000. Dratsas folded and Jetten picked up the pot to move up to 1.55 million. Dratsas dropped to 1.35 million.

[Removed:297] Eliminated in 13th Place ($75,000 AUD)

Action folded around the table to Steve Friedlander on the button who opened with a raise to 40,000. Peter Jetten flatted from the small blind (holding pocket aces) and when the action reached [Removed:297] in the big, he three-bet to 140,000. Friedlander got out of their way and Jetten moved all in over the top for 765,000. Wenigwieser made the call for less (670,000) and the following showdown ensued:

Wenigwieser: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Jetten: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}

The board then filled out {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Jetten's aces held up to send Wenigwieser to the rail in 13th place.

After the hand, Jetten stacked up 1.38 million in chips.

Sorel's Holy Shoes

Holy Moly
Holy Moly
Should chip leader Sorel Mizzi take down the 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event championship tomorrow afternoon, he'd be able to afford enough pairs of shoes to fill the MCG, and by the look of it, he could afford to keep a pair or two for himself.

Your chip leader is currently sitting with 3.3 million in chips.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and Dratsas fired 170,000. Mizzi called.

Hard to Kill

Steve 'The Big Show' Topakas has defied all odds, surviving an unthinkable amount of come-from-behind situations to stay alive in the tournament. Moments ago, we witnessed another one.

Topakas open-shoved all in from under-the-gun holding {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and was called by Jurgen Wenigwiester in the big blind, who woke up to queens.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop gave Topakas a pair of extra outs, and runner-runner straight possibilities to chop the pot, but he got all the help he needed on the turn when the {K-Clubs} rolled off giving him two pair. The river blanked -- {7-Spades} -- and Topakas' railbirds went bonkers.

After the hand, one of the players at Topakas' table commented, "He's like Steven Segal; you can't kill the guy!"

After the hand, Topakas was back up to 161,000 in chips.
