Chronis Survives Thanks to the River

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Khylon Hanegraaf opened for 15,000 from the button and was met by an all-in three-bet to 98,000 from Christopher Chronis in the small blind. The big folded and Hanegraaf made the call to put Chronis at risk.

Chronis: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Hanegraaf: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

It was a flip, but Chronis needed to improve to stay alive. The {2-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop wasn't particularly interesting, but the {Q-Spades} turn was as it gave Chronis an added flush draw. Much to his vocal delight, the flush came in when the {10-Spades} peeled off on the river.

Slater Falls in 58th Place

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

"All in and a call," has been an all too familiar declaration here in Level 17.

Most recently Louis Slater got his stack of 205,000 all in preflop holding the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} only to run into the {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} of Heinz Kamutzki. The action was being announced over the speakers, but it was all rather straightforward as the board ran out {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

Tens Are the Last Hand Brkic Will See in the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We missed the action as it unfolded, but we do know that Srdjan Brkic got the last of his chips all in on the {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop holding {10-}{10-} and was well behind the {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} of Andreas Lodemel. Neither the {9-Diamonds} turn nor {2-Hearts} river would change a thing and Brkic's run came to an end here on Day 3.

"Now We're Even"

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Antonio Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari

There was a raise and a call before Antonio Esfandiari three-bet to 31,000 out of the big blind. The original raiser got out of the way, the player in the small blind called, and the dealer fanned {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. The player led out for 20,000, Esfandiari called, and the turn was the {k-Diamonds}.

The player slowed down, checking to Esfandiari who took the opportunity to bet 33,000. The bet was good enough to win the Magician the pot, but he was looking for something a little sweeter.

"You want to see?" Esfandiari asked the player, grinning.

He shook his head, but Esfandiari showed him the {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} anyway.

"Now we're even," the Big One for One Drop champion said.

O'Dea Doubles Through Duhamel

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

A preflop raising war resulted in Eoghan O'Dea getting all in preflop for 240,000 against Team PokerStars Pro and 2010 World Series of Poker champ Jonathan Duhamel.

O'Dea: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Duhamel: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

O'Dea was in great shape to double, but the {q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop was cause for concern as Duhamel picked up a gutshot straight draw to a ten. The case nine ({9-Diamonds}) appeared on the turn, which meant Duhamel needed a ten and a ten only to send O'Dea back to Ireland. The dealer burned one more time and put out the {J-Spades}.

Duhamel made two pair, but it wasn't good enough to overcome O'Dea's set. Ship the double to the Irishman.

Five-Bet Gets It Done for Truong

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Erik Seidel opened the action with a raise to 14,000 only to have Tam Truong three-bet to 28,000 from the button. Rhys Jones then jumped in with a four-bet to 67,000, Seidel folded, and Truong pushed back with a five-bet to 128,000. It proved too much for Jones, who laid down his hand.

"Crazy" Marco Johnson was all in and at risk with {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} moments ago, and he was dominated by Scott Seiver's {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.
