Schiffbauer Takes a Big Hit

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Randy Lew just limped on the button after which Robbie Schiffbauer raised from the small blind to 1,800. The player on Schiffbauer's left, in the big blind, three-bet to 4,100 and Lew folded right away.

Schiffbauer did not hesitate, and moved all in, and his opponent called all in for 15,125.

Schiffbauer: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Schiffbauer dropped half his stack.

Dong Kim Eliminated

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Dong Kim's seat was empty and his chips were missing, proof enough for us he had been eliminated.

PokerStars Team Pro Kosei Ichinose told us that Dong Kim had bluffed his stack away on a queen-high board with {K-}{4-}, though he wasn't entirely sure of the action. Kim's bluff didn't work, not in the last place because his opponent in the hand had pocket queens for top set.

In totally unrelated news, Dong Kim's good friend Jack Salter played on Day 1 and busted as well.

Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

The man with some of the most impressive results of recent memory, Steve O'Dwyer, has been knocked out from the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event. O'Dwyer, who had been knocked down to about 12,000 chips prior to his final hand, raised under the gun to 900 and the player on his left made it 3,000.

The action folded back to O'Dwyer, and he moved all in for about 12,000, only to get called right away.

O'Dwyer showed {Q-}{Q-}, and he got knocked out against the {K-}{K-} of his opponent.

After a raise to 800, Jackie Glazier just moved all in for about 9,000 chips. A few players folded before a third player got involved, moving all in as well. The other players, and the initial raiser, folded, creating the following showdown.

Glazier: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Glazier busted out, and she wished the other players at the table the best of luck before heading for the exit.

Retired AFL Star Steve Baker Busts First Major Tournament

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Steven Baker, 35, is a retired Australian rules footballer known for playing for the St Kilda Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL) from 1999 to 2011.

As it happens, Baker, who was the 27th pick in the 1998 AFL Draft, also fancies poker, though he doesn't have a ton of experience, which is comprised of home games alongside Tony Hachem and Shane Warne. Baker decided to take a shot at the big time by playing the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event — his first-ever major tournament — but things did not go his way.

Way back in Level 2, Baker lost all but 900 of his stack when his pocket kings were cracked by Faraz Jaka's {a-}{7-}. The flop contained a seven, the turn was another seven, and the chips went in on the river. Baker managed a bit of a comeback — at least enough of one to keep him in contention past the dinner break — but his run came to an end at the tail end of Level 5.

It happened when Baker moved all in from early position for 1,900. Action folded all the way to Poker Hall of Famer John Juanda, who opted to call from the big blind.

Juanda: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Baker: {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Baker, who admitted he had only looked at the king when he shoved, got his stack in good, and he remained in the lead on the {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop. Unfortunately for him, the dealer burned and turned the {Q-Clubs} to pair Juanda. The {4-Clubs} river was no help to Baker, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Baker, known as one of the most efficient taggers in the AFL, stopped by Hachem's table to deliver the bad news before exiting the Crown Melbourne poker room.

For more on Baker, check out his Wikipedia page.
