Tony "Bond18" Dunst is no more after getting his short stack in against one player. Dunst held 
against his opponents 
. With a 
spiked on the turn the opening event was over for Dunst. Dunst invested multiple days and multiple buy-ins for this event but found himself falling short.
Also finding himself behind the rail after getting all his chips in on the flop was Peter Aristidou. The 
of Aristidou was no good for his opponents 
on a 
board. The Melbourne local will be looking to find better luck throughout the Aussie Millions!
Faced with a raise to 525 and with one caller behind, Billy Jordanou re-raised to 1,500. Both players called.

Hinrichsen's opponent took this opportunity to lead out for a respectable 200 chip bet. Hinrichsen made the call, obviously doing the math and working out he had the right odds.
The 
rolled out on the turn and Hinrichsen's opponent led out for 1,200, a call would bring a river.
The on the river and another bet from the aggressor, this time 2,500.
