Stewart Scott is no stranger to success in Melbourne, Australia managing to take down the biggest prize on offer in the region; winning the Aussie Millions Main Event and the $2 million prize to go along with it in 2009.
Scott moved all in preflop for his last 20,000 and managed a call from Kyle Cheong.
Scott: 
Cheong: 
By the time the board had ran out 
it was looking pretty good for Scott as the ace on the turn trumped the king that Cheong hit on the flop. Tablemate Ali Khalil even gave a loud "Boom!" for Scott as the turn card hit the felt.
If only poker were that simple though. The 
hit the river and gave Cheong two pair to send Scott to the rail.

We've just been informed that it is likely that only levels will be played today. The players will not be given a dinner break, due to an early-finish time of around 8:30 pm AEST expected.

and David Steicke in a hand up against Aharon Shabtay.
Steicke checked to Shabtay who threw out a pot-sized bet of 11,000. Steicke made the call and the rolled off on the turn. Again Steicke made the check-call, with this time Shabtay betting 22,000.
The river fell the 
and Steicke opted to check again. This time Shabtay threw out a bet of 20,000 into a pot of around 70,000. Steicke made the fold and sent the handsome pot to Shabtay.
