Addamo Chops with Silver; Gathy Takes from Hallaert
Michael Addamo has already accumulated more than $1million in cashes in the live circuit and almost added an Anton Championship ring here at the Aussie Millions on home soil. Ultimately, Addamo fell short and finished runner-up to Benedikt Eberle in the Opening Event, adding further A$194,690 to his bankroll.
Addamo is also in action today and was just spotted in a battle of the blinds against Max Silver. A raise to 1,000 by Addamo was called by Silver, who called bets of 1,300 on the 
flop, 3,300 on the 
turn and 3,500 on the 
river. Addamo flipped ober 
and Silver chopped it up with the 
.
One table over, Michael Gathy bet the 
river for 7,500 on the button and fellow Belgian Kenny Hallaert in the small blind reluctantly called. Gathy turned over the 
for a full house and that won the pot.
Further new entries include Marc MacDonnell, JC ALvarado and Preben Stokkan.
