Glazier Fires Away Early

We caught the action on the flop, but afterwards Jackie Glazier told us what happened pre. After a raise and a re-raise she decided to four-bet from the big blind and got only the three-better to call.

The flop came down {2-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Glazier bet out 2,550. Her opponent gave it some thought and ended up making the call. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Glazier bet 5,500. This time her opponent took about twice as much time before calling once again.

On the river the {Q-Clubs} hit and Glazier wasted not time throwing out 8,000. Once again her opponent took some quiet some time before finally folding. He's left behind with 10,500 while Glazier is sitting pretty with 38,000.

The Year It All Began: A Look Back at the 2003 Aussie Millions

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

The Crown's Aussie Millions Poker Championship is celebrating their 10th Anniversary this year, and we thought it might be fun to take a look back at year's past throughout the Main Event, starting with the year when it all began . . . 2003.

While the numbers were small, at least compared to today's standard, there were some familiar names in action who still compete today including Leo Boxell, Mel Judah, and Harry Demetriou, just to name a few.

Buchanan Loses a Little

Shawn Buchanan opened from early position for 250 and cleared the field all the way around to the button, who opted for a three-bet to 750. Both blinds got out of the way, Buchanan made the call, and the flop came down {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, which both players checked.

When the {5-Spades} hit the turn, Buchanan check-called a bet of 1,100, and the {9-Clubs} peeled off on the river. Buchanan checked for a third time, while the button fired out 1,700. Buchanan thought for a solid minute before releasing his hand, losing a couple thousand in the process.

Great Scott

We'll keep you up-to-date on all the name players as we spot them taking their seats.

Andrew Scott, who we've already mentioned, has already flopped quads. His pocket fours found two more friends on the flop but it was a bit too early to get much value out of them.
