Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
When we reached the table, there was 22,400 laying in front of Frank Rusnak, who was in the big blind. Nate Silver, who was sitting in the hijack seat, had a re-raise of 60,000 in front of him. Rusnak made the call, and before the flop, Silver asked for a count. It didn't look like Rusnak answered, and if he did, Silver didn't hear him.
As the flop fell 
, Silver stood up to examine Rusnak's stack. Rusnak checked.
"Okay," Silver said once he counted Rusnak's stack from afar. "I'm all in."
Rusnak snap-called the 80,300-chip bet, turning over 
for top set. Silver tabled 
.
The turn and river bricked 
, 
respectively, and Rusnak doubled to around 285,000 chips. Silver took a hit, but is still quite healthy with 160,000.

Gone from 140k to 67k. Not playing too great & haven't won a pot for almost 2 hours. Frustrating. 20 mins at 800/1600 #AussieMillionsJanuary 29 2013Follow

After Jesse Sylvia raised to 3,400 from middle position, Man Hei Lam reraised from the hijack seat to 8,300. Play folded back to Sylvia, and he took his time. Eventually, Sylvia fired back with a four-bet to 15,200. Lam folded, and Sylvia won the pot.

James Obst and Nate Silver are doing some serious business while Celina Lin is still doing very good as well. First we saw Silver lose some chips to Lin, which we caught from the turn. The board read 
and Silver bet 4,500, Lin called. On the river the 
appeared and Silver threw out 8,000 more. Lin called and showed 
which was good against Silver's .
A little while later we caught Silver raising from the button to 4,000 and Obst defended his big blind. The flop showed 
and Obst check-called 5,000. On the turn the 
hit and Obst check-folded to a 10,500-chip bet.
Silver and Obst are both doing extremely well in this event but it's still a long way to that final table they would both love to be at!

We were informed that there were a couple of big stacks over at Table 24, which is tucked away in the corner across the walkway. We headed over and they weren't kidding. Aside from playing host to well-known pros Sam Trickett, Jesse Sylvia, Ang Pangleng and Lee Markholt, Table 24 is also home to Scott Wilson and Man Hei Lam, who're sitting with 415,000 and 360,000 respectively.
"This table has all the chips," Sylvia, who was sitting with a more modest 75,000, said as he saw us scribbling down counts.
We don't know how Wilson got all his chips, but one thing is for sure, he knows how to use them. You see Wilson has had success at the Aussie Millions; in fact, just last year he finished as runner-up to Brendon Rubie in the A$1,000 No Limit Hold'em Opening Event for A$125,000. Needless to say, he's got the chips and experience to make a run at the title.
