Shillig Shut Out

Greg Shillig has just been eliminated at the hands of Grecian player Kostas Loutzianakis.

As Andy Rutherford recalled to our reporters, there was a raise from a player in middle position preflop and the action folded aroudn to Loutzianakis who reraised from the button.

Shillig moved his last 5,000 into the middle from the big blind and Loutzianakis called, showing down pocket queens against Shillig's {k-?}{Q-?}.

The board improved neither hand and Shillig was sent packing.

Nelson Survives

Nelson (during Event 7): doubles up
Nelson (during Event 7): doubles up
The action folded around to 2006 Aussie Millions Main Event champion Lee Nelson who moved all in for his last 6,000 in chips from the cutoff preflop.

Tjin Chong called from the button and the blinds got out the way before the cards were revealed:

Chong: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Nelson: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Chong was in great shape to eliminate Nelson when the flop and turn came down {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, but the {a-Hearts} spiked on the river to double Nelson up to 13,500 in chips.

Cash Game Anyone?

Million Dollar Cash Game

The players are started to file into the upstairs arena at Studio 3 for the Aussie Millions Million Dollar Cash Game. The buy-in is anywhere from $250,000 to $1,000,000 and some of the biggest names in the game will be on hand.

Right now things are just getting set up for filming while Tom "durrrr" Dwan, David "Deldar182" Eldar and Andrew Feldman are seated at the table chatting it up. All will be featured in the game, which should make for some great action.

PokerNews will be plugging in some updates here and there throughout the night from the cash game to let you all know who's up and who's down. Be sure to be on the lookout for those throughout the coverage.

He's Here

Chris Ferguson has finally showed up.

It seems he was in a deep sleep and had no idea the tournament had resumed.

When a Full Tilt player representative said he would have text him had he have known, Ferguson replied with, "it would have taken more than a text."

PokerNews Exclusive Video: Leo Margets

Leo Margets is a name many of you might recognize from last year's World Series of Poker Main Event. Margets earned the title of last woman standing for her 27th place finish ($352,832) in the big dance, which helped land her a spot on 888 Poker's pro player roster.

We caught up with Leo during a break in the action earlier today to find out what she's been up to since her big result last summer:
