Win a Nexus 4 Smartphone and a Share of $2,000 Only on PartyPoker

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

One of the most sought-after gadgets in the world, the Nexus 4 smartphone, has been out of stock more than it has been available, but PartyPoker is offering PokerNews customers the chance to get their hands on one — and a share of $2,000.

On Feb. 9 at 15:00 ET (20:00 GMT), PartyPoker is hosting an Aussie Millions Freeroll that is exclusive to PokerNews customers. Players who makes their first deposits on PartyPoker between Jan. 28 and Feb. 9 will automatically be entered into the PokerNews Aussie Millions Freeroll.

  • Tournament Name: PokerNews Aussie Millions Freeroll
  • Date: Feb. 9, 2013
  • Time: 15:00 ET (20:00GMT)
  • Prize pool: Nexus 4 plus $2,000 in cash
  • Payout structure: Winner receives a Nexus 4; cash awarded according to standard PartyPoker payout structure
  • Restrictions: Only available to PokerNews customers who make their first deposit between Jan. 28 and Feb. 9

With the qualification period only being open for 12 days, the freeroll field size should be much smaller than usual, meaning your chance of getting your hands on a brand new Nexus 4 is greater.

Silver Flops the Nuts; Doubles

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Nate Silver has doubled up through "Hong Kong" Kenny Wong here at the start of Level 13. When we arrived at the table, Silver had {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} sitting in front of him, and the board read {2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

According to a player at the table, Wong had {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Silver took a hit towards the end of Level 12, but after the double up, he's back to 140,000 chips. Wong dropped to 33,000.

Krost Triples but is Still Short

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Tyron Krost, who won the 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event as well as last year's tournament of champions, dwindled to just 9,500 when he got it all in from the cutoff after Jan Collado had opened for 6,500 from the hijack. The button and small blind both folded, and then the player in the big blind moved all in over the top for 57,500. Collado folded and the cards were turned up.

Krost: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Big Blind: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

It was a race headed to the flop, which fell the {5s{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Krost was good and still looking to avoid either a king or queen. The turn was paint, but fortunately for Krost it was the {J-Diamonds}. He filled up and had his opponent drawing dead headed to the {2-Diamonds} river. Despite tripling, Krost is still short stacked with right around 32,000.

James Obst
James Obst

When we reached Table 29, James Obst and Brandon Adams were heads up on a board of {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Obst checked, and Adams slid forward 60,000 into a pot of around 80,000.

Obst tanked for a bit, then grabbed all of his brown T25,000 chips.

"All in."

The all-in bet was for effectively 200,000, and Adams opted not to risk his entire stack. He folded, and Obst is now up to 670,000 chips.
