David Steicke has just put has huge hit on Tom Dwan's stack. Unfortunately we didn't catch the action and barely caught the board as the dealer was counting down the stacks.
The board read and Tom Dwan had in front of him as Steicke had the winner with . We overheard that the money went in on the flop in this massive pot giving Steicke a double up. Dwan is knocked far down but he still has to chips to fight with.
An unknown player limped from early position and Ben Savage then limped behind him. The action was then on Melanie Weisner and she moved all in. The rest of the table got out of the way, along with the original limper. Savage got the dealer to count out the stacks and decided Weisner's stack of around 30,000 was worth the call.
Weisner:
Savage:
The board meant that Weisner and Savage would chop it up. "How'd i fade that?" asked Weisner as she was looking ready to exit the tournament area.
Just before the dinner break Tom Grigg took out Robin Ylitalo. We asked the Aussie what happened, and he told us the following. After a limper Grigg raised to 7,200 from the cut-off and Ylitalo called from the button, as did the limper.
The flop came down with two spades and Ylitalo called the 8,600 continuation bet Grigg threw out there. The limper folded and they went heads up to the turn.
The turn was a and the action went check-check. On the river a hit and Grigg checked again. Ylitalo bet 17,000 and Grigg decided to put his opponent all-in. "He tanked for ages", Grigg said, but finally Ylitalo made the call. "I showed ", Grigg smiled and he is now back up to 250,000. When we mentioned his big swings he smiled again and said, "That's always the thing with me". Grigg is far from done today and we could be up for some more interesting pots!
We rolled up on a hand on a flop with about 40,000 in the pot. The player in the big blind position was first to act and moved all in for 53,400. Phil Ivey, who was under the gun, asked for a count before nonchalantly tossing in a call.
Showdown
Ivey
Big Blind
Ivey had the right read and was rewarded as neither the turn nor river helped his opponent. With that, Ivey is up to 400K.
Ben Jenkins' stack had been on the slide but he's fixed that by eliminating his neighbour. Jenkins raised to 7,200 from the button before the small blind three-bet all-in for 39,000. Jenkins gave the decision a good deal of thought and made the call with .
The small blind tabled and the board ran to make a pair, then a straight for the Brit.
Sam Capra has already had a big Aussie Millions, finishing on the final table of the bounties event. Capra will have to be content with that score though as his Main Event is now over.
Tony G opened the action from the cutoff, making it 8,000 to go. Capra was next to act on the button and he moved all in. An unknown small blind player then moved his stack all in from the small blind. Tony G looked like he wanted to make the call, but ended up flashing his as he folded.
Capra:
Small Blind:
When the flop was dealt, Tony G looked a little irked as he perhaps wished he made the call. The board completed with a and a and it was all over for Capra.
James Dempsey has joined Phil Ivey and Jason Koon's table and all three of them have way above average chips. I wish all their table mates luck as they're going to need it.
The 2007 Aussie Millions is largely considered the year the event solidified its reputation as one of the premiere poker tournaments in the world. That was due largely in part to Gus Hansen's win in the Main Event. Unfortunately, the "Great Dane" won't be capturing the title for a second time as he was eliminated earlier in the day.
Bill Argyros has been left with 25,000 after a bit of a cooler. We got to the table when all the action was complete. The board read and Argyros had left out in front of him for trip twos. Unfortunately for him his opponent had tabled for a full-house. The Croc was shaking his head whilst he was paying his opponent off.
