Rheem Wins the Pot, But Lets Bicknell Squeeze

Level 2 : 150/300, 150 ante

From under the gun, Kristen Bicknell raised to 700 and Chino Rheem called next to act. Action folded to Toby Lewis in the big blind, and he called too.

The flop landed {Q-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and action checked round to reveal the {6-Hearts} on the turn.

Lewis and Bicknell checked, but Rheem bet 1,000. Lewis folded, and Bicknell called as the river landed the {5-Diamonds}.

Bicknell checked, Rheem bet 3,500. Bicknell folded, and before Rheem mucked his hand he stated, "I'll let you look at this one, but only if you let me look at one of yours."

Bicknell agreed, and Rheem passed over his hand for Bicknell to look at before she tossed it into the muck on his behalf.

More Players Including Former International Cricketer Shane Warne

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Last night, Shane Warne tweeted that he had successfully satellited into this year's Aussie Millions A$25,000 Challenge and he has duly taken his seat in the tournament midway through the first level of the day.

The former Australian international cricketer is widely regarded as one of the greatest bowlers in the game, taking 708 test wickets during a glittering career.

Away from the cricket field and onto the poker table, Warne has six Aussie Millions cashes including three final tables, two of which came last year in the Shot Clock and A$2,500 No Limit Hold'em side events.
