Dean Nyberg has been spotted wondering the rail so we asked his table what happened and apparently he jammed allin with 
and could not catch against his opponents 
.
Nyberg goes home having spent 9 hours to earn no tangible reward. Ah, the beauty of poker.
Poker can be a painful game. Anyone who has played it for more than five minutes will tell you that and i'm sure if you asked Mel Judah right now, he would attest to that.
Judah was in the big blind with about 10,000 behind when faced with a raise to 2,800 from the player on the button.
"Can i go all-in here?", asked Judah before looking at his cards.
Pealing one card back and slowly pealing the other.
"Alright, i think i can," said Judah movikng his remaining pile into the pot.
Judah: 

Opponent: 

The flop contained a queen, running out 

. Judah would be saved. But like we alluded to earlier, poker can be painful. The turn card was the
, giving his opponent a few more outs. Here comes the pain with the river card the
.
Sometimes the cards just aren't very nice and with that Mel Judah has left the building
Martin Drewe is still chugging along, his stack is now around average but with his cleaver maneuvering of it he is managing to keep alive and without seeing flops.
Jeff Fenech raised to 2,800 from under the gun and then the action folded around to Martin Drewe in the small blind.
What was his next move you ask. To ship it. Drewe moved his remaining over 40,000 into the pot and put the two players left to a decision. The big blind tank-folded and the aggressor Jeff Fenech insta-folded. Don't mess with Drewe.

2009 Aussie Millions Main Event Champion Stewart Scott has not had many chip to play with for most of the late-afternoon/evening so when he got 
on the button and jammed his stack the last caller he would want was the player holding 
, but as they say, "them's the breaks."
As we all should know, it's never over until it's over. Scott had outs and all he had to hit was a
.
What was on the flop next will defy poker logic and leave you in both shock and awe.
Flop: 


Not too shocking and the bricks that came on the turn and river didnt change anything and it would not be another Aussie Millions gold ring for Stewart Scott, yet.

Mel Judah was forced to move all-in when he found himself in the big blind holding 
, technically he was not forced but you understand what we mean.
Judah was in trouble when his opponent would be going up against him with 
.
Flop: 


Some luck for Judah as he needed one club to survive.
The
on the turn gave Judah the nut flush and he would double-up to around 11,000.
For those pedantic people at home who just must know, the river was the
. Changing nothing.
