Reinkemeier Loves the Ladies

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Tobias Reinkemeier opened to 22,000 and David Menz made the call from the button to see a {2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop fall.

Reinkemeier fired out a continuation-bet of 25,000 with Menz making the call to see the {9-Diamonds} land on the turn and Reinkemeier continue for 60,000.

Menz made the call, and as the {3-Spades} landed on the river, Reinkemeier deliberated emotionless for nearly two minutes before sliding in a stack of chips amounting to 175,000. Menz quickly announced call, but was then forced to muck at the sight of Reinkemeier's {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

As Menz slipped to 150,000, Reinkemeier moved to 850,000 in chips.

Rossiter Doubles Huge and Crushes Vos

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Mark Vos raised to 22,000 and Jeff Rossiter reraised from the button to 52,000. Vos made the call and the flop came down {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Vos checked and Rossiter bet 70,000. Vos check-raised to 175,000 and Rossiter made the call.

The turn brought a third heart with the {10-Hearts}. Vos fired 400,000 and Rossiter raised all in for 816,000. Vos made the call.

Vos: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Rossiter: {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The river bricked off with the {4-Spades} and didn't pair the board for Vos. He lost the pot, sent over the chips and was left with just 150,000. Rossiter doubled and now has over two million in his stack.

Eighteen Remain; Final Table On The Way

Studio 3 hosting the last three tables

Welcome back to the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia for the penultimate day of the 2011 Aussie Millions Main Event!

The 721-player field has now been whittled down to just eighteen who are all guaranteed an AUD$70,000 payday. However, only seven of them will be able to return here tomorrow with AUD$175,000 in their pockets as they look to play down until just one remains.

With play since the final thirty-six being six-handed, this change in tournament format has benefited the more aggressive players remaining in the field; no more evident in the fact that online gun Chris Moorman holds the overnight chip lead with an amassed 1,643,000 in chips.

On his heels is Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Mark Vos who will be looking to better his previous main event performance following a final table bubble of eighth in 2008. It will be a fairy-tale story if Cliff Lee manages to take down the title as it will be the first time a locally-bred player has one the prestigious event.

Sorel Mizzi will be looking to make a run at a consecutive final table, but in his way and on his table is fellow poker professional and Team Full Tilt Poker member Patrik Antonius who will be looking to best his thirteenth-place effort in 2007.
