Peel Bursts the Bubble, We're in the Money!

[user135779]

We didn't get the name of the player that was eliminated in 28th place, but we reckon he wouldn't have wanted to speak to anyone - then again, it was just one of those classic coolers.

The unfortunate player moved all in with {10-Spades}

, but Scott Peel woke up with {q-Hearts}

.

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}

; ladies and gentlemen, we are in the money!

Level: 12

Blinds: 2,000/4,000

Ante: 0

Krautschneider's Castle Crumbles

[user135779]

Karl Krautschneider has just been busted as the "bubble bubble" by Geordie Wicks, who now has over 155,000 in chips.

We got there and saw a board that read {9-Hearts}

and Krautschneider had table {j-Spades}

.

However Wicks had tabled {a-Diamonds}

, thus sending 'King Karl' to the rail and leaving us with 28 players - just one shy of the money.

Nassif Nets Chips, KO's Opponent

[user135779]

Marwan Nassif has just managed to eliminate another opponent and move up to 33,000 in chips as we approach the money.

The opponent moved all in before the flop with {a-Hearts}

, but Nassif woke up with {q-Hearts}

.

The flop of {q-Spades}

gave Nassif top set and it was good all the way as the board completed {4-Diamonds}

,

.

Only two players to go!

Wicks Makes a Century

[user135779]

The player count is now at 32, but the main story is that Geordie Wicks busted an opponent, and as a result, he's the first player to break the magical 100k mark.

As Wicks recalled to us, he got his money in on the turn with {k-?}

against an opponent's {a-?}

. Said board read {k-?}

at the time.

Only an ace would save the opponent, but of course, we already mentioned that the opponent was eliminated. That's because a {7-?}

bricked on the river. Scout's honour!

Wicks is now dominating the field with 110,000 in chips.

Huntly Becomes the Hunted

[user135779]

It hasn't been a great Aussie Millions for Dennis Huntly and it's been further soured, having just been eliminated by Jonas Esbo.

Huntly moved his last 10,000 into the middle with {6-Spades}
