Big Double for Stuer

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Julian Stuer
Julian Stuer

Ashley Sleeth raised to 700 and the cutoff made it 1,700. Julian Stuer in the small blind put in the 700 of the initial raise and only then noticed the three-bet, which he called off. Sleeth came along to make it three-ways to the {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop. The action checked to the cutoff, who bet 3,700. Stuer check-raised to 10,500 after some consideration and Sleeth quickly folded.

However, that didn't end the action just yet as the cutoff opted to reraise to 23,700. Stuer moved all in for another 27,150 on top of that and the call followed after some table chat and no reply of Stuer.

Stuer turned over {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and the cutoff showed {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. Neither the {K-Spades} turn nor the {5-Diamonds} river were a threat for the Vienna resident and he doubled to six figures.

O'Grady Eliminated

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Michael O'Grady had been a big stack not long ago but the Aussie just left his seat and the tournament area very quickly while the dealer announced a seat open. Indeed, there were no chips left in the two seat that had belonged to O'Grady while his table neighbor John-Christian Templeton was busy stacking a lot of chips.

According to tournament staff, O'Grady was involved in a three-bet pot to the {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop and ended up calling all in with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for a pair of kings and the nutflushdraw. Templeton was ahead with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and the turn and river bricked off.

Templeton joins the six-figure stack club in level four, only trailing Julian Stuer a few tables over.

On a {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop one player bet 7,500 and Haibin Yan raised to 15,000. The initial player re-raised all in for around 30,000 and Yan snap-called.

All-in Player: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Yan: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The all-in player was drawing dead and the river was the {q-Clubs}. Yam sent a player to the rail and moved up to 100,000 in chips.

Lampropulos Back Over Starting

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

On a {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, two players checked to Maria Lampropulos who bet 2,000. One of them called and the turn was the {a-Spades}.

The pair checked and the river was the {7-Spades}. It checked to Lampropulos again who bet 6,000, which elicited a quick fold from her opponent.

Lampropulos is now back over starting stack with twenty minutes before the dinner break.

Lew Chips Up With Kings

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

With already 13,000 in the middle and the flop showing {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}, Randy Lew bet 4,000 in the small blind and was called by Andrew Chen in the cutoff. It would be the last chips that both players invested in the hand, as the {7-Hearts} turn and {4-Diamonds} river brought no betting action.

Lew turned over the {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} for kings and sevens, and that won the pot.

Dinner Break; 1996 Champion Nelson Still In, Stuer Leads

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Former Champion Lee Nelson holds the record for most Aussie Millions final tables
Former Champion Lee Nelson holds the record for most Aussie Millions final tables

From the 264 players who have entered Day 1b so far, the 204 remaining players in the 2019 Aussie Millions Main Event are going on their 75-minute dinner break after four levels of action.

By comparison, last year's Day 1b attracted 196 entrants. Day 1a yesterday had a slight year-on-year fall in numbers, but with today's field a bumper one, the 2019 Aussie Millions Main Event is already ahead of where it was at the same stage last year.

Just like yesterday, plenty of big names have jumped into the field, including former champions Lee Nelson and Tyron Krost, the latter of which fell by the wayside earlier today.

Nelson already has one final table at this year's Aussie Millions, finishing sixth for AU$8,505 in the H.O.R.S.E. and he is joined in the Day 1b field by 2019 Six Max champion Bart Lybaert, Oliver Gill, Sarah Bilney, Scott Davies were also in attendance, as well as Chino Rheem.

Sadly for the AU$25,000 Challenge third-place finisher Rheem, he lasted just two hands before busting from the tournament.

Julian Stuer
Julian Stuer holds a big stack in the 2019 Aussie Millions Main Event

An early big stack was Clinton Taylor, but Julian Stuer jumped over 100,000 in chips after doubling through a player with pocket aces after flopping a set of sevens.

With three more levels after the dinner break, stay tuned to PokerNews for all the live updates as players bag up for Day 2.
