Octavian Voegele could have lost a lot more chips when he held 
on a 
board. Voegele had fired out bets on every street and his opponent proceeded to flat call every bet.
By the time Voegele's opponent had flatted the river, his 
for a full house was good enough to send Voegele's flush into the muck.

Tni Lechich has broken through the 200k barrier with some heavy fisted poker. He three-bet to 10,000 after Khiem Nguyen opened to 4,000 from under the gun.
The German called and check-called 13,000 bet on the 
flop. The turn came 
and Nguyen checked again but soon folded after Lechich set him in for his last 50,000 chips.

The action was opened to 4,000 from a middle position player and the only player to make the call was Andrew Hinrichsen in the cutoff seat.
Flop: 
Hinrichsen's opponent led for 6,800 and when Hinrichsen made the call, the 
peeled off on the turn. This time Hinrichsen's opponent made it 14,600. Another call saw the 
complete the board on the river. The player did not stop his betting, this time throwing out 22,100.
When Hinrichsen made the call, his opponent turned over 
for a high-card, while Hinrichsen tabled 
.
As Hinrichsen stacked his new chips, Mitch Carle was making his way back to the table and he stopped at Hinrichsen and grabbed him on the shoulders and said, "Why do people keep giving you chips Andrew."
"Because i'm a nice guy," answered the 2011 WSOPE bracelet winner.

Maria Ho tried, and failed to get Ben Jenkins off his hand on the river of a 
board. She was in early position and bet 10,700 into Jenkins, who was on the button.
He pondered and called. "Ace-high," announced Ho. Jenkins tabled 
and allowed her to close muck.

Tyron Krost, who won this event in 2010 and took down the 10th Anniversary Tournament of Champions a few days back and won a lifetime of entries into the Main Event, has been eliminated. We're not sure of the details, but it looks like Krost will have to wait until next year to try and cash in on his freeroll.

"I just didn't feel like making change", James Dempsey smiled after he got his opponent to fold on the turn. The Brit flicked a 25,000 chips into the pot and his opponent folded. Before all of this went down we saw a player raise to 4,500 and Dempsey called from the big blind.
The flop came down 
and Dempsey check-raised the 5,500 bet to 13,500. His opponent called and folded when the 
hit the turn. Dempsey put in a 25,000 chip and that made him win the pot without showdown. Interestingly his opponent showed the 
as he folded his cards. Maybe Dempsey got away very very well but on the other hand he could have missed some value with this strong looking bet.

The table folded around to the blinds, and Domink Nitsche came in raising from the small. The big blind called, and off they went to a heads-up flop.
It came 
, and Nitsche continued out with another 5,500. Mr. Big Blind called that bet, and he called another 12,500 behind the 
turn. The river came the , and Nitsche was in no mood to slow down. He found the third bullet worth 18,000, and the big blind spent a couple moments thinking it over. He eyeballed Nitsche's stack, then slid out a covering tower of yellow chips to put him to the decision for his tournament life.
Nitsche had about 55,000 chips left in front of him, but the amount was immaterial. He could not have folded any quicker to the river raise, and he'll be left with that remainder to mount a comeback.

Annette Obrestad had a tumultuous 20 minutes or so, first losing to a short-stacked opponent when her 
failed to overcome aces. She then doubled through Kenna James, followed by another double through an unknown player, putting her at about 80K.
In what would be her last hand, action folded to her on the button and she raised to 4,500, which the Minh Nguyen three-bet to 11,700 from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Obrestad shipped her stack, which Nguyen insta-called.
Showdown
| Obrestad |   |
| Nguyen |  |
While Obrestad caught a six on the 
flop, she was unable to catch another card as two nines ran out on the turn and river and her Aussie Millions Main Event came to an end.
