PokerNews chairman Tony G is hard at work today, trying to make a good Day 1 showing to position himself for a deep run in the Aussie Millions Main Event. He just did himself a huge favor by trading chip positions with Gary Benson. The chips were already in the middle by the time we got to the table. Tony G tabled {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

, which had out-flopped Benson's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-?}

on a board of {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

. The turn and river were safe cards for Tony, coming {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

and

{5-Spades}

. He doubled up to 60,000 while Benson came back to the pack at 30,000.
