There's Always a Sweat

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Jeff Rossiter doubles
Jeff Rossiter doubles

After unknown preflop action, Jeff Rossiter, who is second on the all-time Australia money list, was all in and at risk against Khylon Hanegraaf.

Rossiter: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Hanegraaf: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Rossiter held a commanding lead, but the dealer spread {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, giving Hanegraaf a flush draw. The {9-Spades} on the turn gave him three more outs to make a straight - all the two kings were dead because they would give Rossiter a full house - but Rossiter survived when the {5-Diamonds} completed the board.

He doubled to 185,000 chips, while Hanegraaf fell to 170,000.

Jones vs. Rubianes

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

With 20,000 or so in the pot and a flop of {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, Rhys Jones checked from the big blind and then called a bet of 10,500 from Vincent Rubianes in the under-the-gun position. Both players checked the {K-Diamonds} turn, and then action repeated itself on the {5-Diamonds} river. Rubianes tabled the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a pair of eights, and it was good as Jones mucked.

One Table From the Money

You can still enjoy the chocolate, but no more headphones!

With 80 players remaining in the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event, we are officially one table away from this money. From this point forward everybody's favorite rule the "First Card Off the Deck" rule comes into play, and headphones are no longer allowed.

Newey No Longer in Contention

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Paul Newey
Paul Newey

Paul Newey was grinding a short stack for the entire day, but his time has expired short of the money.

The high-roller regular got the last of his chips in with the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and was up against the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} of Bob Trask, who you may recall eliminated Team PokerStars Pro Barry Greenstein back on Day 1.

Newey got it in good, but he was not rewarded as Trask ended up making a full house after the board ran out {7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

Keeping Up With the Jones'

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jarod Ludemann checked to Rhys Jones, who has a larger than average head according to EPT regular Pratyush Buddiga, on a flop of {4-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, and Jones fired out 9,500. Ludemann considered the bet for a bit before calling, then led out for 17,500 after the {10-Clubs} turned.

Jones raised to 36,000, Ludemann moved all in for 90,000 or so, and Jones snapped it off.

Jones: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Ludemann: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

Ludemann was drawing to the case four, and the river was four-sided, but the {5-Spades} was no help to the American. He hit the rail just shy of the money, and after taking down another pot after the knockout, Jones is up to around 650,000 chips.

Big Slick vs. Queens

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree opened for 8,500 under the gun and cleared the field to the small blind, who decided to shove all in for his last 90,000. Boeree snap-called.

Opponent: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Boeree: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

It was your classic flip, and small blind was poised to double after the {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop failed to help his opponent. The dealer then burned and turned the {K-Spades} to pair Boeree and put a dagger through the small blind's heart. The {6-Clubs} river changed nothing and the small blind took his leave from the tournament.

Rossiter Eliminates Monaghan

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

An all-in preflop confrontation saw Adam Monaghan get his stack in the middle holding the {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} only to run into the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} of Jeff Rossiter. The {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop wasn't particularly interesting, but the {J-Diamonds} turn was as it gave Monaghan a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the {K-Hearts} blanked on the river.

Mercier Jams On Boeree

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Jason Mercier
Jason Mercier

Two Team PokerStars Pros and former European Poker Tour Sanremo winners went to battle on this hand, and it was Jason Mercier who came out on top.

From under the gun, Mercier opened to 8,000. Liv Boeree, who recently joined the table, received a count on Mercier's stack and then reraised to 19,000 from the hijack seat. Play folded back to Mercier, and he reraised all in for right around 96,000. Boeree folded, and Mercier won the pot.
