Kwaysser Unlucky

Hungarian bracelet winner Valdemar Kwaysser has just been knocked out in unlucky fashion. The flop read {K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} when Kwaysser bet 2,800. His opponent raised it up to 10,000 and Kwaysser moved all in after about 30 seconds. His opponent called right away.

Valdemar Kwaysser {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Opponent {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}, {10-Hearts} and Kwaysser's opponent made a straight. The Hungarian was all in for about 10,000 chips and left the tournament area quietly.

Karamalikis Forced to Fold

There was an open from middle position, a player in the cutoff three-bet to 1,600, and Jonathan Karamalikis cold four-bet to 3,100. Only the three-bettor called.

The flop fell {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and the player checked. Karamalikis tossed out 4,000, and the player check-raised all in for roughly 20,000. Karamalikis tank-folded, showing the {k-Clubs}, and the player mucked his hand.

No Red For Raskin

On a {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades} it was Micah Raskin who ended up all in for 25,500 chips. His opponent showed {5-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and had quite the draw against Raskin's {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

"Red, red, red," Raskin asked the dealer who put out the {2-Spades} on the turn.

"Red, red, red," Raskin repeated himself as the dealer burned and put out the {J-Clubs} on the river.

No red cards for Raskin but he managed to stay alive regardless of those two black cards. Raskin id in great shape now with around 55,000 chips.

Gorr Gets It In Drawing Dead

David Gorr and Tobias Schwecht were heads up on a board of {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Schwecht checked, Gorr fired 16,000 into a pot of around 10,000, and Schwecht moved all in for just 375 more. Gorr called.

Gorr: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Schwecht: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Gorr was drawing dead, and a meaningless {a-Clubs} completed the board. Schwecht doubled to around 42,000 chips, while Gorr dropped down to around 8,200.

Very few players have crossed the six-figure threshold thus far in the Aussie Millions Main Event, but Brian Payne has. The Melbourne native is currently sitting on 140,000 chips, and appears to be our clear chip leader.

Lee Gets Some From Teltscher

"You just can't beat this man!" Teltscher yelled with a smile as he lost a pot to Paul Lee. Lee smiled and raked in a fairly big pot that played out as following:

After some preflop action it was a heads up affair between Teltscher and Lee on a {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop. Lee check-called 1,625 and the turn brought out the {A-Spades}. This time Lee lead out for 5,000 and Teltscher went into the tank. After quite some time he elected to make the call.

The river was the {7-Diamonds} and Lee fired out another 10,000. Teltscher tanked for quite some time and ended up negotiating that his opponent would show one card if he folded. Lee showed the {9-Spades} after Teltscher had folded his cards, and the latter picked up the {3-Spades} from the board to point out his hand had something to do with that card. We'll never know if he actually folded a set, but all signs point towards a big fold from the former EPT winner.

Glazier Flops a Straight

Jackie Glazier
Jackie Glazier

Jackie Glazier and three opponents saw a flop of {10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. All four players checked.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, Glazier led out for 1,100, and only one player called.

The {6-Clubs} completed the board, and Glazier tossed out 3,500. The player begrudgingly called, and Glazier turned over {j-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a flopped straight.

The player flashed the {k-Spades}, then mucked his cards.

Quick Exit For Boxell

Leo Boxell
Leo Boxell

Leo Boxell has been eliminated some time ago and Michael Pedley just helped us piece together his downfall.

Boxell first lost a big pot in which he tried bluffing an opponent. His opponent called with a rivered pair of kings against the Australian Poker Hall of Fame member's {A-}{Q-}.

Boxell ended up all in for his final 13,000 chips with {Q-}{Q-} against a flopped set of treys. No luck for Boxell who was knocked out early on, on Day 1a.
