McCorkell Takes it Down

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Craig McCorkell raised to 4,500 from middle position and was called by Daniel Neilson on the button as well as Brian Altman in the blinds.

The flop came down {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Altman checked. McCorkell tossed out a continuation bet totalling 6,000. Both opponents called.

The turn brought the {k-Hearts} and Altman checked once again. McCorkell reached for his chips and splashed out 13,500. Neilson quickly mucked, and after a short pause, so did Altman.

Grafton Gaining

“The champion is still alive!” shouted Sam Grafton as we rushed over to the table to see what all the commotion was about.

It appeared that he’d sucked out to stay alive after moving his short stack all in preflop with {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. The big blind had woken up with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and called it off, but despite being behind Grafton scored a perfect flop on the {8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{q-Spades} run out.

In the same orbit Grafton moved all in again over the under the gun open from Tino Lechich. This time the jam was for 33,400 and with the rest of the table folding their hands Grafton added even more to his stack.

We're unsure of what has happened and we hope for the best, but Athan Papoulias from Sydney has not shown up today. He started out on table 57 seat 2 with 64,700 this morning but has never taken his seat. His stack is down to 7,700 right now, not enough to make it through the level.

Holz Doubles with Small Blind Special

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

After enjoying the sickest of starts to his Aussie Millions Main Event, Fedor Holz has been pretty quiet of late, his stack dwindling to 56,600.

However, the German crusher has just doubled up courtesy of Bas de Laat.

It turned out that Holz had limped from the small blind, followed by a raise from big blind Bas de Laat. Holz answered with a shove for 28 big blinds with {2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and De Laat called with {8-}{8-}.

Holz made a flush with two clubs on the flop and one on the turn to put him back at 115,000.

Seidel Takes From Muehloecker

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

On a flop of {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} the player in the big blind checked. Thomas Muehloecker then bet out 5,600 from middle position and was called by Erik Seidel in the hijack. The big blind folded.

The turn brought the {a-Diamonds} and Muehloecker quickly bet out 16,500. Seidel called moments later.

The {3-Spades} completed the board and Muehloecker paused for a moment and splashed out 36,500. Seidel went into the tank for over a minute then called.

Muehloecker rolled over his {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for top pair but it was no good as Seidel revealed his {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for two pair and the winning hand.

Neilson Building

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Daniel Neilson raised to 4,200 under the gun before facing a three-bet to 11,500. Neilson called and the two players went to a paired flop of {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

Neilson checked it over to the three-bettor who continued for 6,500. After a call from Neilson the dealer turned the {k-Clubs}. The action went check check and the {9-Hearts} arrived on the end.

Again it was checked through and the last aggressor tabled {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for some showdown value on the river, but Neilson had that beat showing {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for two pair on the turn.

Lechich Doubles Opponent

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The player under the gun raised to 4,400 and was called by the player in the cutoff before Tino Lechich raised to 15,000 from the small blind. The original raiser called and the cutoff folded.

The flop came {q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Lechich announced all in for 87,000. His opponent quickly called with 36,600 behind.

Lechich: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Lechich found himself behind with the under pair and found no help as the board ran out the {7-Spades} and {6-Hearts} to see him drop to 50,000 in chips.

De Cesare Done and Dusted

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Amanda De Cesare was the first casualty on the final level of Day 2 after getting her short stack all in preflop.

De Cesare: {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

A nine in the window made things official as the cards came down {q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} to see De Cesare eliminated.
