Chronis Charges Up the Counts

Chris Chronis has always performed well at the Aussie Millions, having made a series of deep runs in several tournaments including last year's Main Event.

It seems that "home ground advantage" is playing a big role for the local fashion designer, as he has mounted a big comeback to now sit on top of the chip counts with 165,000, having secured a number of crucial double-ups leading to a recent hand against Don Carter.

Carter popped it up from middle position to 4,500 and the action folded around to Chronis who called from the small blind to go heads-up into a flop of {5-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

Chronis check-called Carter's bet of 4,500, then both players checked the turn of the {7-Hearts}. Chronis then fired out 12,000 on the river {8-Spades}. Carter considered his options, but eventually sent his hand into the muck.
