Wilson Winning

Scott Wilson has steadily grown his stack to sit with the chip leaders and a recent hand added even more chips to that stack. The action started with Wilson when he opened the pot to 21,000. The player on the button then raised it up to 45,000 and this is when Adam Cusenza shoved from the small blind. The shove was for around 120,000 and Wilson just made the flat call. This led the button player to go deep into the tank. After a few minutes, the player threw his cards in the muck and the two remaining players tabled their cards.

Wilson: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Cusenza: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

When the board ran out with no help for Cusenza, he was eliminated, while Wilson now has a very healthy stack.

Rubie's Heart Robs Grunter

When Grant Levy had his tournament life on the line holding {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} against the {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} of Brendon Rubie, it would be looking like it would most likely be a chopped pot and he would stay alive. When the window card was the {2-Clubs}, Levy may have even been feeling a little like he had a chance to take down the hand. However the next couple of cards were not so pretty, with {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} hitting the felt.

The {4-Diamonds} on the turn was a safe card, but meant Levy was drawing to a split-pot. The {7-Hearts} on the river was enough for Rubie to take down the big hand as his stack edges closer to the million. Levy goes home with $4,500 for his time.

Capelin Surging as Skountzos Scoots Home

The hand started when William Skountzos shoved his 23,500 stack all in. Andrew Capelin was in the big blind and he made the call - costing him only a little more than another big blind.

Capelin: {j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Skountzos: {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

When the board ran out with no help for Capelin and contained a {3-}, Capelin took down the hand and sent Skountzos home. On his way out of the tournament area, Skountzos started asking Capelin how does he call with jack-three. He asked several times and clearly was angry. A few players at the table were laughing and commenting that it was obviously a snap-call.

Off to the Races: Comer vs. Rubie

Michael Comer shipped all in from middle position for his last 83,000 and was look up by Brendon Rubie in the big blind.

Showdown
Rubie: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Comer: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

It was a classic race that saw Rubie pull ahead on the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop. Suddenly Comer went from a slight favorite to a major dog needing a six to stay alive. The {A-Hearts} turn was not it, and neither was the {3-Clubs}. Rubie took down the pot, increasing his stack to 600K, while Comer made his exit from the 2012 Crown's Aussie Millions Poker Championship Main Event.

A Hug for MacLean

A short-stacked Shelly MacLean got all in preflop holding {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and was in bad shape against the {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} of her opponent. The {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades} was about as dry as can be, while the {K-Spades} river left MacLean in need of an eight or jack on the river. Unfortunately for her, it was not meant to be as the {A-Clubs} peeled off.

MacLean made her way to her rail for a consolation hug before heading to the payout desk.
