Gus Gets Into Aken(s)head

On the move.
On the move.
Gus Hansen raised from UTG to 4,800 and James Akenhead called out of the small blind. The two saw a {j-?}{3-?}{5-?} and both Hansen, and Akenhead checked.

The turn was the {8-?} and Akenhead checked again. Hansen slid out a bet of 5,100 and Akenhead made the call.

The river was the {a-?}, and for a third time Akenhead checked to Hansen, who bet out 17,500. Akenhead made the call, and Hansen flipped over pocket jacks for a flopped set. Akenhead mucked and was down to 15,000.

Gus Hansen is now up to 145,000.

Capricious Elimination

Sam Capra has just been eliminated from the main event.

Capra moved all in before the flop from middle position for his last 21,000 holding pocket eights and was looked up by a player on the button who called with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

The board ran out {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Capra's opponent spiked an ace on the flop to clinch the hand.

Juanda Out of the Woods

At one point down to his last 1,500, John Juanda just wont quit. He has now doubled up to 28,000 courtesy of a double up through James Akenhead. The two were all in preflop, Juanda holding {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Akenhead holding two black fives.

The board hit Juanda hard coming out {7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{a-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

Akenhead is the player on life support now, barely hanging on.

New Feature Table

Possibly not an accurate depiction, but it looks kind of like this.

The feature table is full again. Gus Hansen, John Juanda, James Akenhead and Jackie Glazier are under the lights.

Lichtenberger Bluffs His Way to the Exit

On a board showing {4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Izzy Kranz checked to Andy Lichtenberger who fired a 5,500 bet holding {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Kranz then kicked it up to 11,000 and Lichtenberger moved all in over the top, hoping to push Kranz off his hand. The move failed, however, and Kranz made the call holding {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for top, top.

The turn and river then blanked {3-Spades}, {8-Hearts} and Kranz took down the hand, improving to 126,000 in chips.

Juanda and Akenhead Both Busto

The feature table is now in full effect filming mode, meaning it's more difficult than before to actually see the action. We'll do our best to find out the bust out hands, but both James Akenhead and John Juanda have been eliminated from the 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event.

See you in Melbourne next year boys.
