Tony Dunst Leads the Charge Into Day 4 of the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event
Just 40 players remain in the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event, and it is Tony Dunst and his stack of 1.627 million leading the way into Day 4.
Much like he did on Day 2, Dunst had a superb finish to Day 3, which allowed him to bag up some a big stack and big lead. He busted Philipp Gruissem and Pascal Hartmann in the same hand, and then closed out the night by sending Sam Steindl packing with just a few hands left to play.
James Obst was another player to finish very strong on Day 3. He did so by nailing the river with pocket eights against Victor Teng's pocket jacks to finish on 1.196 million, which was good enough for second place on the leaderboard, albeit a bit behind Dunst.
In third is one of three women still in the field, Samantha Abernathy, with 1.195 million. Kitty Kuo with 783,000 and Jessica Dawley with 302,000 are the other two female players still in the field.
With the field well into the money, each player left is guaranteed AU$25,000. The cards will be in the air at 12:30 p.m. local time, and the field will be looking to make its way down to the final table of seven. However long that takes, PokerNews will be there for coverage, so be sure to keep it locked right here.

An Ace from Space Saves Sandaev
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Ari Engel opened for 28,000 from the hijack only to have Xingrong Ren three-bet to 64,000 from the cutoff. When action reached Joseph Sandaev in the small blind, he moved all in for 254,000 and Engel responded by moving all in over the top. Ren folded.
Engel: 
Sandaev: 
Sandaev was way behind and in need of some help. His best chance at survival was to catch an ace, and much to Engel's dismay, that's just what he did when the flop came down 
. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Engel reclaim the lead, and Sandaev shipped a double and then some.
