The board ran out and that brings us down to just three tables of six.
Slade Fisher wasn't just ready to commit his full stack because after raising to 30,000 he still managed to find a fold. Fisher had only 114,000 behind and is now the absolute short stack with just under 10 big blinds.
The last hand of Josh Barrett's 2012 Aussie Millions began when Oliver Speidel opened the pot from the cutoff. Barrett was in the small blind and he shoved his 200,000-chip short-stack in the middle. It was then on Patrick Healy in the big blind and he simply called. Speidel then raised it up to 575,000 and Healy made another flat call.
Barrett watched on as Speidel and Healy checked down a board. Barrett didn't look confident as he showed his and rightly so as Healy turned over his . Speidel sent his cards into the muck and Healy raked in the big pot. Barrett goes home in a solid 20th place, picking up A$45,000 for his time.
Elton Tsang just got coolered pretty badly by Janis Lesinskis who is on an absolute tear since play recommenced 20 minutes ago. Lesinskis raised to 25,000 under the gun and got called by Tsang. The flop came down and Lesinskis check-called a bet.
On the turn the hit and the action went check-check. The river was the and Lesinskis bet 40,000. Tsang raised after which Lesinskis pushed all-in and Tsang called. Tsang turned over but his full house wasn't enough against the of Lesinskis.
We said goodbye to Tsang, but Lesinskis wasn't done yet. The very next hand Matt Turk raised to 30,000 from the button and Borge Dypvik three-bet to 78,000 from the small blind. Lesinskis was in the big blind and he cold-four-bet to 210,000. Both his opponents folded and Lesinskis raked in another pot.
