Daniel Zink Eliminated

On a flop of {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Grant Levy checked, Daniel Zink bet 1,200, Levy raised to 3,500 and Zink called. The turn was the {4-Hearts}. Levy bet 10,000, sending Zink into the tank. After having the clock called on him, Zink announced "all in" and Levy immediately called. Zink showed {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} and needed some serious help against Levy's set of fives. The river was the {3-Hearts}, making Levy a full house, and Zink made an early exit.

After the hand, Levy was up to 38,000.

Getting to Oz...

Eric "jeciimd" Chadwick.
Eric "jeciimd" Chadwick.
Eric "jeciimd" Chadwick is here because he won a seat on Full Tilt via the "Battle of the Blogger Tournamets: Aussie Millions Challenge." The series was run by popular blogger by the name of AlCantHang. He hosted weekly events and the winners of each of those events qualified for the Tournament of Champions (TOC), with the winner of that winning a seat to the Aussie Millions.

That fortunate blogger who won the TOC happened to be Eric "jeciimd" Chadwick. He's a doctor in his normal life and took some time off from his work in Pennsylvania to play in the Aussie Millions main event.

So far Chadwick is up to 25,000 and looking good.

David Doubles Doug

A short-stacked Doug Lee committed all of his chips into the middle in a raised pot on a board of {5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{A-Hearts}. David Singer had plenty of chips and decided to take a shot at eliminating Lee by making the call with {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

Lee flipped over {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and when the board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} Doug Lee had doubled up to around 13,000 chips.

Cousin Joe Eliminated

On a flop of {K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Cousin Joe moved all in for 10,000. Mark Teltscher called.

Teltscher: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Cousin Joe: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The turn was the {2-Spades} and the river was the {4-Diamonds}. Mark Teltscher won the pot and increased his stack to 40,000. Cousin Joe was eliminated

Olson's Aces

Carl Olson
Carl Olson
Out on a popular table 16, Carl Olson watched four players call a 300 chip raise as he looked down at his cards in the small blind and saw {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}. Olsen bumped it up to 1,600 to go and found only one customer in Amnon Filippi from the cutoff position.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn brough the {9-Clubs}. Olson checked once again and Filippi fired 3,600 in the middle. Olson casually tossed out a yellow 5,000 denomination chip to signal a call. The river is the {6-Diamonds} and once again both players checked.

Olson's showed his aces, Filippi simply tapped the table and tossed his cards into the muck as Olson takes down a nice pot.
