against Boatman's 
.The crowd let out a murmur of excitement when the flop missed both players but came down
to give Boatman an up-and-down straight draw to go along with his live card outs. The turn was the 
, making a pair of sixes for Boatman. Ivert needed a five or a ten on the river to chop, or an ace or a queen for the win. She got none of them. The river fell 
to send the Swedish-born Japanese local out of the tournament in 11th place.Ten remain.
Richard Ashby limped in from the small blind and Sam Capra declined his big-blind option. The flop was
, prompting the reticent Ashby to lead out for 20,000. Capra called.The turn came
. Ashby made it 35,000 to go but was raised to 135,000 by Capra. He elected to call that bet and check-call another 75,000 on the river 
. Capra turned over 
for a small flopped flush; Ashby flashed 
for two pair before throwing his hand into the muck.That was a 250,000-chip swing for each player. Capra now has approximately 1.4 million; Ashby is down to about 750,000.
and took a chance by moving all in. Both of his opponents folded. Lechich is back up to 475,000.
However this evening we are playing down to a final table of seven players. Why seven? Well quite simply it is too great of a disadvantage to have one four-handed and one three-handed table at that point of the tournament. Therefore the final table will commence tomorrow seven-handed. Clear as mud?
The beauty of this format is that the Aussie Millions is a true test of one's poker abilities, both in full ring and short-handed play.
Capra opened the pot for 55,000 and Ashby called out of the big blind. Both players were a bit leery of a flop that came
and checked it through to the turn, which was the . Ashby had first action and checked again. Capra checked behind. On the river , Ashby led out for 60,000. Capra just called. Ashby showed his queens for queens full of aces; Capra showed his pocket kings and mucked.It was a very curious hand all around. If the players won't give action in a hand of queens versus kings five-handed, what will it take?
The speculation continues as to how late this day might finish. Our early guess was between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. which is still a few hours away. Grab a cup of coffee folks!
. Boatman checked to Scott, who made it 100,000 to see the turn. Boatman called.The turn was a seeming blank, the
. Again Boatman checked. This time, Scott bet 275,000. It was a small bet for him, but a huge bet for Boatman, who had only 506,000 left behind. He elected to fold so that he could look for a better spot.
The flop landed
and both players checked. The turn was the 
and Lechich checked to Gruneberg who fired 65,000. Lechich made the call.The river brought the
and again it was checked through. Lechich tabled 
for a big draw on the turn that ended up with a pair of sevens but it wasn't enough as he was outkicked by Gruneberg's .Gruneberg takes another nice pot from Lechich to leave him in trouble on the short stack.
