Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Kanit Takes from De Silva

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

A three-bet to 1,700 was in front of Mustapha Kanit in the hijack and Upeshka De Silva then four-bet to 4,175 on the button. The initial raiser folded, but Kanit came along to see a flop of {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, which the Italian checked. De Silva continued for 3,450 and was called before Kanit led the {Q-Spades} turn for 12,500 with as much behind.

De Silva gave it some thought and folded, then asked Kanit to show one card. With his cards still near the muck but not hidden yet, Kanit reached back to them and peeked at both before sending them into the muck with a grin on the face.

The same table also features Victor Teng and Matt Berkey.

Liu Busts Xiourouppa

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Gabriel Xiourouppa was previously involved in an aces versus aces preflop all in and didn't experience a miracle upset. However, his stack had taken a toll and he would soon after be all in with the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} against Chenan Liu's {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and the board ran out {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

Felipe Ramos on the Melbourne Poker Lifestyle

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Felipe Ramos

Felipe Ramos is making the most of his first trip to Melbourne for the Aussie Millions, and we grabbed a quick word with him during the break.

"Melbourne is very nice," he said. "It's become one of my favorite cities in the world; level with Barcelona and Amsterdam. I think that the city has a really great mix - there's a lot of activities to do but then also a lot of green spaces, which I like very much.

"The people are really nice and that's a very good thing to have whenever you go to a poker stop. The beaches as well! Sometimes you go to poker venues where the only option is to be stuck in the poker room all day. That's not very healthy I think for people who have to think for a living!

"I like living the poker lifestyle, and this city offers the poker lifestyle that I love."

Ramos has played a couple of events, including the $25,000 Challenge and a fourth place in the 8-Game.

"Fourth was disappointing for me, because I entered the final table as chip leader. It's my favorite format of poker. But I'm now happy to be playing here in my first Aussie Millions Main Event."

And how is his first taste of the Aussie Millions Main Event going?

"I could have a better table for starters! There are three pros including Kitty Kuo [who finished 3rd in the $25,000 Challenge]," said Ramos. "There are some other decent recreational players as well so my table is strong.

"I didn't have a very good start; I lost over half my stack. But now I'm back to half stack and I'm ready to go!"

Glaser Sends Zimmerman to the Rail

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

After a raise by the cutoff, Benny Glaser three-bet out on the button to 1,600 and Joshua Zimmerman moved all in for 15,650 out of the small blind. The big blind was not in his seat and forfeited the chips automatically, the cutoff folded as well. Glaser didn't waste more than a few seconds and called instantly.

Joshua Zimmerman: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Benny Glaser: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board came {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and that was it for Zimmerman.
