Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

"I Flopped Quads"

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

After a player in the hijack opened for 1,600 and Guillaume Rivet flatted from the small blind, the big blind opted for a three-bet to 4,700. The original raiser called, and then the ever-aggressive Rivet thought for about 25 seconds before putting in a four-bet to 12,500.

The big blind seemed a bit put off by the move and began chatting up Rivet despite there being action behind him.

"Is this the hand we get it all in?" the big blind asked. Rivet remained silent. After more than a minute of talking to himself, the big blind put in enough to make the call. After the hijack got out of the way, it was heads-up action to the {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop. Rivet was first to act and wasted little time in betting 11,400, which inspired the big blind to quickly chuck his cards to the dealer.

"I flopped quads," Rivet whispered before sending his cards to the muck facedown.

"Show a card one time," said the big blind, who was clearly a nonbeliever.

Motown Kurganov

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Igor Kurganov open-shoved for 8,400 - a little more than a pot-sized bet - on a flop of {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. His opponent went into the tank, and about 90 seconds later he made the call.

Kurganov showed the {5-Clubs} for a pair of fives, and his opponent slowly revealed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for top-pair top-kicker. The German revealed his second card, the {j-Clubs}, and it was a very important one as the {j-Spades} turned to give him jacks and fives.

The {4-Clubs} bricked off on the river, and Kurganov doubled to 22,000 chips.

Boeree Flops a Set

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante
Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree

Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree and Amir Minagar took a flop of {10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Spades} at the start of Level 7. Boeree led out for 2,200, Minagar called, and the turn was the {7-Clubs}.

Boeree slowed down, rapping the felt, and Minagar took the opportunity to flip forward a yellow T5,000 chip. Boeree made the call.

The Brit checked again once the {j-Hearts} completed the board, and Minagar surrendered, tabling {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} for ace-high. Boeree showed {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a flopped set of eights, and raked it the pot.

Ugly End for Divkovic

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

It was an ugly end for Bosnia's [Removed:480], who you may recall won the 2013 PokerStars.net ANZPT Season 5 Perth last February for AU$114,000 and then nearly captured back-to-back titles when he finished runner-up to Dinesh Alt in the 2013 PokerStars.net ANZPT Sydney Main Event a month later.

Divkovic got his chips in holding the {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} on a {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop and was in great shape to double through Amir Minagar, who was in a bad spot with the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Poker can be cruel, and Divkovic learned this when the dealer burned and turned the {10-Spades} to give a clearly excited Minagar a Broadway straight.

Divkovic was clearly disgusted and began to collect his things even before the dealer put out the {A-Hearts} on the river.

Set Over Set Turns Ugly

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

After a series of bets on the {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, Adam Monaghan was faced with an all-in bet of 34,000 from an opponent. Monaghan tanked for a considerable amount of time before calling, and both players showed a set.

Monaghan: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Monaghan was in rough shape, but the turn ({7-Spades}) and the river ({8-Spades}) were both spades, giving him a flush and eliminating his opponent from the Aussie Millions Main Event.

"NOOO!!!" the player yelped, disgusted with the river card.

Monaghan raked in the pot and is now flirting with six figures.

Lisandro Sent to the Rail Courtesy of Rahme

Jeff Lisandro has been nursing a short stack for the latter half of the night, and his time in the 2014 Aussie Millions recently came to an end courtesy of 2007 World Series of Poker third-place finisher Raymond Rahme.

We missed the details, but Lily Kiletto was kind enough to fill us in on the gist. According to her, Lisandro got in trouble when he defended his big blind with {q-}{5-}. That's because Rahme held aces, which held to send the Australian Poker Hall of Famer to the rail here in Level 6.

Kiletto Surrenders on the Turn

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Lily Kiletto checked to five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Jeff Lisandro on a flop of {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Lisandro fired out 2,000, Kiletto called, and the turn was a third diamond - the {3-Diamonds}.

Kiletto knuckled again, Lisandro quickly bet 5,500, and the American folded.

"I think you had seven-six," she told Lisandro.

He chuckled.

"Yeah?" he asked.
