Mark Bevan Bubbles the 2016 Aussie Millions Poker Championship
Artur Koren opened under the gun plus one to 18,000. Two spots behind him, it was Mark Bevan shoving all in for 85,000 total. Action folded back around to Koren, and he instantly tossed in a 5,000 chip to call.
Play was halted at that moment till the hands at all other tables were finished. A big rail gathered around the table as the tournament director asked both players to open their cards.
Mark Bevan: 
Artur Koren: 
The flop came 
and the tournament speaker announced Bevan needed an ace or running straight cards. While Mustapha Kanit shouted running fives was also a possibility for Bevan to come out on top, the 
had already hit the turn.
"An ace and an ace only" announced the tournament director.
It wasn't meant to be for Bevan, as the 
completed the board and the American player had to make his exit.
With that, the remaining 80 players all made the money and were guaranteed a AU$15,000 payday. The multiple short stacks in the tournament let out a big sigh at once, but we'll see if they can run it up now that they're in the money.
