Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Simon Morris opened the pot with a raise only to find a three-bet from a player in late position.

With the action on Jie Gao in the big blind, he moved all in for just under 6,000 as Morris committed his final 5,500. The three-bettor passed as the cards were placed on their backs.

Morris: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Gao: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The flop of {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs} gave Gao a commanding lead in the hand, and when the {Q-Hearts} fell on the turn, Morris was forced to begin packing up his belongings.

The {9-Spades} on the river was just more salt to the wound of Morris' elimination as it is this very event that is replacing the Limit Hold'em one that he proved victorious in last year.

At least - until next year anyway - he will still be an Aussie Millions reigning champion!
