Legend Mel Judah open-shipped for 280,000 on the button. Unceremoniously, Marin Kozlov called in the small blind. Gerasimos Deres ducked out of the way, and Judah got the bad news.
Judah: 
Kozlov: 
Judah successfully called for cards several times at the final table, but perhaps he knew no six was coming, because this time, he didn't bother asking. The board ran out 
, and that was all she wrote for Judah. He began the day eighth in chips and managed to hang on all the way to third place and a $40,000 payday. Judah also made the final table of another Aussie Millions prelim, finishing seventh for $6,040 in the $1,000 PLO event. His performance in the last two weeks puts him just shy of $3.3 million in live tournament cashes.
Judah tossed the lanyard with his $1,000 bounty to Kozlov, who raised it over his head triumphantly. "I feel like I've won the tournament already!" he declared. "So that means I have maybe a 10 percent chance of winning now?" Deres asked.
