Welcome Back for Day 2 of the Aussie Millions Main Event

Mateusz_Pater

For many, the 2017 Aussie Millions Poker Championship Main Event starts today. The day where one can look around and see the winner in the room - if it’s not them. The three starting flights are out of the way and, for the first time, all the remaining players are together for Day 2.

A total of 372 players from the 718 starters have made it this far but those numbers could grow as registration is open until the end of level 8 which kicks off at 12:30 p.m. local time. Total entrants last year totalled 732 so we’ll see if that number can be broken today, which would make it the second-largest field in history (currently it’s fourth!)

End of Day 1b chip leader Mustapha Kanit heads into today as the overall leader with 215,000. The only other player to make it past the 200k-mark was Ben Lai who finished on 204,700. Other large stacks heading into today include; Korey Aldemir (189,500), Tony Mladenovski (187,400), Sam Ingham (160,100), Alex Givotovsky (152,300) and Tyler McKendry (150,600).

The plan for today is to play five 90-minute levels with a 15-minute break after each one, and no dinner break. Join us back here at 12:30 p.m. for what should be an exciting day!

Higgs Lets It Go

Webjoker

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Sam Higgs, local hero of the Poker Room at Crown Casino Melbourne, raised under the gun to 1,900 total. Action folded to Irish pro Marc Macdonnell in the cutoff and he three-bet to 6,600. The button and both blinds folded, Higgs wasted no time calling.

The flop had both players check and the hit the turn. Higgs checked again and called the 5,500 bet by Macdonnell that followed.

Higgs checked a third time as the hit the river to complete the board. Macdonnell bet 14,000 and Higgs thought about it for a minute or so before he slid his cards into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Marc Macdonnell	109,600	14,100

English Exits

[user336349]

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Tim English was one of the first to fall here on Day 2 after running into the pocket queens of
Shurane Vijayaram.

English and Vijayaram in the small blind and big blind respectively got all the money in preflop before English saw he needed some help to keep his Aussie Millions Main Event alive.

English:
Vijayaram:

The flop changed nothing but the turn brought a potential flush and a little hope for English. The river meant it wasn’t to be and English departed as one of the first eliminations of the day.

Laidlaw Tests Carrel

RazorSharpPro

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Daniel Laidlaw put Charlie Carrel to the test on the very first hand, sending the British player deep into the think tank.

We caught the action on a flop of just as Carrel – sitting on the button –
led out for 2,300 with Laidlaw check-calling from the hijack.

Laidlaw checked the turn and Carrel fired again, this time for 2,900. Laidlaw looked down at his chips and announced a raise, sliding his whole stack into the middle for an all-in of 18,700 in total.

“You have nines or something?” queried Carrel. “I hope you haven’t got king-jack plus, that would be an issue…”

Carrel agonized over his decision for a good few minutes before apologizing to the table for taking his time.

“What are you doing to me?” Carrel asked.

The Brit does eventually let it go however, dropping to 25,000 while Laidlaw climbed to 35,000.
