Lackovic Drowning His Sorrows

After recently busting out of the Main Event, Aleks Lackovic has taken his seat in the Pot-Limit Omaha event and is drowning his sorrows accordingly. He's ordered multiple Coronas and is slamming them back among cries of "lack of respect."

He claims to be up to his 9th Carona in 45 minutes of play and has now just shouted Jamie Pickering a drink at a nearby table. Look out for fireworks if these two get going!

He's started pretty well so far in this event and currently sits with 17,000 chips.

Prize Pool Announced

Today's field attracted 120 players in total for a prize pool of AU$120,000. We suspect that due to a lack of available tables in the room that it was capped at this number.

The final table of nine players will be paid and will receive a minimum of AU$2,400 while first will collect an Aussie Millions gold ring and AU$32,400.

Sach Accumulating

Jim Sachinidis is up to a respectable 14,000 chips after eliminating an opponent in a recent hand on a board of {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

"Sach" tabled {6-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for a full house, aces full of sixes, while his opponent showed down {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for eights full of aces.

Mark Kassis was short stacked and all in preflop with {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}, but when the board ran out {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} he found his opponent showing down the best hand with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts} for trips.

Kassis was the winner of the Rebuys event earlier in the series, but was unable to replicate that success as he was sent to the rail.
