Payne Calls Down with Bottom Pair

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Action folded to Jeffrey Bridge in the small blind, and he raised to 3,000. Brian Payne called from the big blind, and the flop came down {10-}{8-}{2-}. Bridge bet 5,000, and Payne called.

The turn was a {3-}, and Bridge fired 8,000. Payne called again.

The river was a {J-}, and Bridge bet 11,000. Payne called.

"I got nothing," said Bridge as he shook his head. He then turned up {6-}{5-} for just six high. Payne showed {5-}{2-} for a pair of deuces and won the pot.

Fallen Angel

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Angel Guillen - Eliminated
Angel Guillen - Eliminated

Angel Guillen will not pick up his first Australian flag here in the 2013 Aussie Millions Main Event. We just got word he was knocked out in a blind battle where his {A-}{10-} didn't improve versus {A-}{J-}. Guillen started the hand with just 13 big blinds, none of which are in his possession right now.

Guillen has a lot more big blinds to play with right now as he went straight to the $1,000 event that's going on across the room.

Mercier Doubles Pustoslemsek Then Busts Next Hand

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jason Mercier
Jason Mercier

Dejan Pustoslemsek has been playing a patient game here on Day 2 even as his stack dwindled to just 9,500. Just before the break, he committed all his chips preflop holding the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and was primed to double against Jason Mercier, who held the inferior {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. The board ran out a clean {9-Clubs}{A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Pustoslemsek doubled through Mercier, who was left with just 3,100.

In the very next hand, Mercier had to commit 1,000 from the big blind and watched a player in middle position raise to 4,700. Action folded around to the player in the small blind and he seemed interested. "There's no bounty," Mercier reminded him. The small blind, and entire table for that matter, got a good laugh from it.

Eventually the small blind folded and Mercier committed his stack with {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. The middle-position player then tabled {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. "I want to take it back," Mercier deadpanned. Unfortunately for him it was too late and his tournament came to an end after the board ran out {10-Spades}{Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Hearts}.

Payne Continues to Plummet

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Brian Payne
Brian Payne

Mark Teltscher and Brian Payne were heads up on a flop of {7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Payne led out for 4,000, and Teltscher called.

The turn was the {q-Spades}, both players checked, and the {3-Spades} completed the board. Payne tossed out 6,000, and Teltscher moved all in for 20,000 or so. Payne quickly folded, and despite entering the day with nearly 300,000 chips, is now down to 196,000.

Close Call

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Ashley Warner came up to us during his break and told us a hand very much worth sharing. Every hand with Phil Ivey is worth sharing but this is one we don't see too often.

Warner said Ivey raised from the cutoff to 2,500 and he called from the button. The flop came down {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-} and Ivey bet 4,000, Warner called.

On the turn a {K-} hit and Ivey checked to Warner who bet 6,600. Ivey called and the river brought a {Q-}. Ivey checked again and Warner fired out 16,600. Ivey went into the tank for quite some time and made the call. Warner showed {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Ivey tossed his cards into the muck.
