In the last hand before the break, a short-stacked Ryan Yu shoved for his last 124,000 from the cutoff and Grant Levy thought for a few moments before calling from the big blind.
Yu:
Levy:
It was a bad spot for Yu, and it got even worse when the flop came down to give Levy two pair. The turn kept Yu drawing live as a ten would give him a winning straight, but instead it was the river giving Levy a full house.
Yu exited in 20th place and marked the 11th elimination from Level 10.
In the penultimate hand before the break, Michael Addamo opened for a raise from the hijack and received calls from Ami Barer and Sarkiss Osalian in the small and big blinds respectively. Two checks on the flop saw Addamo continuation-bet (we're not quite sure how much), and both Barer and Osalian called.
When the appeared on the turn, Barer checked and Osalian opted to lead out for 100,000. Addamo called, Barer folded, and the completed the board on the river. Osalian checked, Addamo shoved all in for roughly 450,000, and Osalian called with the for aces and sevens. It was good as Addamo took a shot with the for a missed flush draw.
With that, Addamo hit the rail in 22nd place for AU$40,000.
Anthony Legg has a story to tell for a long while after he eliminated Phil Ivey from the Aussie Millions Main Event.
Ivey raised to 26,000 from the button and called after Legg three-bet to 63,000 from the small blind. The flop came and Legg continued for 79,000 and set Ivey all in after he raised. Call.
Legg: for the nut flush draw.
Ivey: for top pair and second nut flush draw.
Michael Pedley stood in disbelief at the fact he had just been eliminated in 27th place. There were no bad beats, but instead one incredible call from Brian Rast.
Three players saw a flop come , and when it checked to Rast who bet from the button only Pedley called from the big blind. Pedley again stuck with him after the turn where he check-raised Rast's 115,000 bet up to 230,000. Rast made a quick call before facing an all-in bet from Pedley valued at 390,000 on the river.
Rast immediately asked how much the shove was, which showed his interest. He then went through a period of several minutes where he folded his arms, stood up, and sat back down again, all the time while mumbling to himself trying to figure out what Pedley could have. Eventually, he made the call with for just a pair of nines! Pedley told him it's a good call and opened .
Rast received lots of praise from the rest of the table and those looking on from the rail. Some gave him a little fist pump to acknowledge just how good the calls was.
"I know, right! I wanted to call, but how can you call with that?" said Rast.
Mike "Timex" McDonald began the day as the short stack, so it was no surprise to see him go first.
It happened when action folded to him on the button and he shoved for his last 120,000 or so. Defending champ Ami Barer called from the small blind, and the big got out of the way.
Barer:
McDonald:
McDonald was behind, but at least he was drawing to two live cards. The flop wasn't very special, but the turn did make things interesting as McDonald picked up an open-ender, though Barer had flush blockers. Those scenarios proved to be a moot point though as the paired the board on the river and Barer won the pot with his king.
Things are getting serious at the APPT Aussie Millions Poker Championship Main Event. Just 30 players remain as the event gets down to the business end. Everyone is guaranteed at least AU$30,000 right now but the payout jumps will get steeper as the day progresses.
Raiden Can leads heading in to today after a great second half of the day yesterday. He leads a top five that looks like:
1 Raiden Kan 1,775,000
2 Andrew Chen 1,165,000
3 Brian Rast 1,156,000
4 Gerald Karlic 1,085,000
5 Richard Lyndaker 943,000
Defending champion Ami Barer doubled on the second to last hand yesterday to give himself a fighting chance of defending his title and a certain Phil Ivey will be looking to repeat the calm and collected manner he showed at the tables yesterday.
There's no time limit on how long play will continue today, it'll stop when the final table of seven is reached. Join is back here at 12:30PM when the race to the final table will commence.
