Cards are back in the air.

During the break, we learned that the reason Stewart Scott showed up with a change of clothes after the first meal break is because his friends went downstairs to the Versace store and bought him a new suit, shirt and shoes.

Elliot Smith Eliminated in 3rd Place (AU$700,000)

Hand No. 205 -

Peter Rho has the button. Elliot Smith limps in from the small blind and Stewart Scott says all in. However, Smith insta-calls and turns up {A-Hearts}

. He is ahead of Scott's {A-Diamonds}

. Smith stands over the table and is anxious for the cards to come out, in hope of a much-needed double up.

The flop comes {K-Spades}

and Smith maintains his lead. The turn card.....the {7-Spades}

!!! Stewart Scott catches a seven to pair up and is just one card away from sending Elliot Smith to the rail. The river is the {5-Clubs}

and that spells the end of Elliot Smith in the Aussie Millions Main Event.

With the elimination of Elliot Smith, there is another break so that the table can be set up for heads-up play. The cash is on its way up from the vault, to be placed on the table between the two players.

Updated chip counts are:

Stewart Scott - 10.7 million
Peter Rho - 2.9 million

We're down to an Aussie and an American. The Aussie has a greater than three-to-one chip lead. Could this finally be the year that an Australian claims the Aussie Millions Main Event title?
