Painful River Cripples Bardah

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Ronnie Bardah
Ronnie Bardah

Bernard Beh just raised to 3,500 and the action folded to Ronnie Bardah in the big blind. Bardah three-bet to 8,800 and Beh moved all in for 55,200. Bardah wasn't too pleased having to a play a massive all-in pre flop, but he made the call.

Bardah: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Beh: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The flop brought out {7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, keeping Bardah in the lead, and the {7-Clubs} on the turn took away some of Beh's outs. The river however, to much dismay of Bardah, brought the {A-Hearts}.

"And the river was a club!" Bardah yelled.

"Four outs, only four out!" Bardah continued, as he was left with just 2,000 chips.

Beh was pushed the pot and Bardah sat back down smiling, "I'm just complaining like a little baby."

On the very next hand a player raised to 3,500 and Bardah called all in from the small blind. The player in the big blind called, and Bardah lifted his cards up high, showing them to the player on his right in anticipation of the flop.

It was clearly visible Bardah held {Q-Spades}{2-Spades}, and he showed a big smile when the flop brought out {K-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}. Bardah flopped a flush, but he had to wait out the action, which was checked all the way down on {5-Spades} turn and the {4-Spades} river.

"Flopped it" Bardah laughed, showing his cards to the table.

"Nobody has the six or the ace of spades?" he added, but both his opponents mucked, keeping him in the game to mount a possible comeback. A few minutes later Bardah Tweeted the following, as his comeback is now well underway.

Ronnie BardahWas a 110k pot , left me with 2k , we triple and then we double! 16,800 at 1600!! #neverGiveUp #AussieMillions

Stevan Chew's Stack Eliminated

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Stevan Chew
Stevan Chew

We missed all the preflop action and only caught the action from the flop. On {4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} we witnessed Stevan Chew (middle position) betting 26,500. His neighbor (hijack) in the one seat called after some tanking.

The turn came the {2-Spades} and Chew shoved all in for 66,100. His opponent buried his face in his arms for a second before tanking and thinking while staring at Chew. He eventually called, and it was time to put the cards on their backs.

Stevan Chew: {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Opponent: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The river came the {4-Hearts} and a non involved older player almost had a heart attack; "Wow! Wow! What a hand! Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!"

While Chew's opponent muttered "I thought you bluffed me with ace-king or ace-queen or something. Low board, its possible", Chew just counted out the chips he needed to part with.

"That's twice now that you had the goods with all the chips in. Those are bad days man, bad days" Kevin O'Donnell said, though we imagine Chew wasn't really comforted by it.

Chew's opponent had 63,700, leaving Chew with just 2,400. Chew doubled the next hand with {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} against Kevin O'Donnell's {10-Spades}{J-Hearts} to get back to 6.5 big blinds, but was eliminated not much later.

Randy Lew Couldn't Dodge a Queen

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Randy Lew
Randy Lew

We asked Manig Loeser what had happened to Randy Lew, and he and his neighbor told us the details of the PokerStars Team Online's bust out.

The player under the gun had opened to 2,700 and a player in middle position three-bet to 7,500. Randy Lew cold-four bet to 14,000 and action folded around to the three-bettor. That player shoved all in and Lew called all in for his approximate 45,000.

Lew was in pole position to receive a full double as he had {A-}{A-} and was up against {Q-}{Q-}. The board however ran out {K-}{Q-}{3-}{6-}{3-} giving his opponent a full house and eliminating Lew.

Mike McDonald Eliminated by Daniel Reijmer

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Mike McDonald
Mike McDonald

Mike McDonald has been eliminated from the 2015 Aussie Millions Main Event. Here's what happened.

McDonald opened from middle position to 2,600 and his next door neighbor Daniel Reijmer, a well rounded pro from the Netherlands, three-bet to 6,500. McDonald made the call.

The flop came {A-}{7-}{4-} with two hearts and McDonald check called a bet of 5,500. The turn was an off suit {10-} and McDonald checked again. Reijmer fired a bet of 12,000. McDonald now shoved all in for 55,000 and Reijmer made the call.

Daniel Reijmer: {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Mike McDonald: {A-}{7-}

Reijmer needed to hit a heart or {8-} to eliminate his opponent, and did just that with the {Q-Hearts} on the river.

Exit for McDonald, a 156,000 stack for Reijmer. The two of them shared their feelings on twitter afterwards.
