Day 5 Started

Welcome to the 2013 Aussie Millions Main Event Final Table!

Welcome to the fifth and final day of the 2013 Aussie Millions Main Event. What started with 629 players is down to the final table of 7. Leading the pack is a familiar face at the Aussie Millions, Dan Shak. The American, who won the $100,000 Challenge back in 2010 and finished fourth in it earlier in the week for AU$237,000, begins the final table with 3,775,000.

It is there that he'll be joined by the likes of Patrik Antonius, Mervin Chan, Jay Tan, Jarrod Glennon, Joseph Cabret and [Removed:17]. Obviously the fan favorite is Antonius, who finished Day 1c of this tournament as chip leader and never looked back. The deep runs of both Shak and Antonius prevented them, as well as Phil Ivey (30th place for AU$35,000) from playing in this year's $250,000 Challenge, which was won last night by Sam Trickett. As such, they're both hungry to make up for it by capturing the $1,600,000 first-place prize and accompanying automobile.

Other payouts include: 2nd-AU$1,000,000; 3rd-AU$600,000; 4th-AU$400,000; 5th-AU$290,000; and 6th-AU$220,000.

In addition, Tan is trying to best her boyfriend "Hong Kong" Kenny Wong's runner-up finish in last year's Aussie Millions Main Event, and Cabret is representing the local Melbourne contingent, so you might say he has home-field advantage.

Here's a look at how the final table stacks up:

Small One for Tan

The action checked to Glennon, who fired 80,000. Both players released, and he picked up the pot.

Antonius Takes It Down on the Flop

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Patrik Antonius opened the action for 60,000 and received a call from Mervin Chan. [Removed:17] then called from the small blind and three players saw a flop of {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Yan checked, Antonius continued for 75,000, and it was enough to take down the pot as both his opponents sent their cards to the muck.

First Big Pot of the Day Goes to Shak

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded around to Patrik Antonius on the button and he opened for 60,000, which Dan Shak called from the small blind. The big got out of the way and it was heads-up action to the {4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop.

Shak was first to act and checked, which opened the door for Antonius to continue for 75,000. Shak responded with a check-raised to 225,000, Antonius three-bet to 425,000, and Shak called. When the dealer burned and turned the {6-Clubs}, Shak tossed out seven blue T100,000 chips for a bet of 700,000. Antonius stared down his opponent and then thought for about a minute before gently flicking his cards to the muck.
