The PokerNews crew is down under at Crown Casino for the 2013 Aussie Millions. On this episode they talk about the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship, the $100,000 Challenge, and more. They are then joined by Nate Silver, the creator of the FiveThirtyEight blog and author of The Signal and the Noise, to talk about his trip to Melbourne, his poker skills, and the Main Event.
David Boyaciyan and an opponent were heads up on a board of 
. Boyaciyan led out for 3,000, his opponent raised to 8,700, and Boyaciyan tank-called.
The 
completed the board, and Boyaciyan slowed down, checking to his opponent who checked behind. The player showed 
for a busted flush draw, and the Dutchman rolled over 
for two pair.
The board read 
when Per Linde's opponent checked. The Swede, who has more than a million dollars in live tournament earnings, bet 7,200 in a pot worth around 12,000 and his opponent went into the tank. After a while he made the call and Linde showed 
for a full house.
Linde raked in the pot and is now up to almost 40,000 chips.
We just caught the end of a hand with three players involved which turned out giving Josh Mammon a sizable chip stack. On the turn the board read 
and all three players checked with about 12,400 chips in the middle.
The river brought the and it was checked to the player on the button who bet 7,275. Mammon was next to act and he tanked for a bit before making the call. The third player folded and the button showed 
against Mammon's 
.
The Canadian took this pot down and is up about 16,000 since our first break of the day.
28.5k at first break. Nothing eventful to report. Fairly good table draw so far. #AussieMillionsJanuary 27 2013Follow

The first break of the day just started. Play will resume in 15 minutes. While you wait for the action to restart, here is a quick update from Lynn Gilmartin.

Players are ordering coffee, tea and other beverages left and right and so far the action has been fairly slow. We haven't seen any big pots yet, unlike yesterday when there was an elimination within the first 40 minutes.
We haven't seen in for quite some time, but Kenny Tran made his way down to Melbourne and he's playing the Main Event today!
The last cash on Kenny Tran's list of results dates back to October 2011 and his last six-figure score came back in 2008. Tran won the $10,000 WSOP No-Limit Hold'em heads up event for $539,056, his largest cash to date.
It's good to see Tran back on the tournament circuit and we can't help but reminisce about his impressive 2007 WSOP Main Event run. Even Rep Porter had to admit back then that he was the best player in the world. Click here to watch the great call Tran made back in the year Jerry Yang ended up being victorious.
For a "so sick" re-enactment, check out Kristy Arnett's impersonation of Tran during an interview she did with him back in 2010.
