On a 
board, Kazuhiko Yotsushika bet 3,500 and a single opponent raised to 9,000. Yotsushika re-raised to 23,500 and after some thought his opponent re-raised all in for somewhere in the region of 35,000.
Yotsushika snap-called and had his opponent drawing dead with

A single-raised four-way pot saw all players check the 
flop before Allen Kessler led out 2,500 from the big blind on the 
turn. He found a faller in the cutoff, and they made it heads up to the river. Kessler wagered 5,000 and he got paid again, adding decent pot to his stack after showing for top two.
Steve O'Dwyer has become the 377th entry for Day 1c and not long ago prior to the break, Tony Hachem also sat down. Hachem first lost a pot with flush versus full house but then scored a double against big stack Takahiro Nakai. Hachem's aces held against nines and he has since remained on an above-average stack.

Players are now on a 15-minute break. Day 1c will continue for two more levels tonight.
Timothy Adams raised in the cutoff and called a 3,000-reraise from a player in the big blind. Adams called a 2,000-barrel on the 
flop but he gave up when his opponent fired another 3,000 on the turn.
Michael Addamo and his left-hand neighbor made it to the river of the 
board with just under 30,000 in the middle. Both players were in early positions and Addamo checked. The other player bet 25,000 to cover Addamo's remaining stack of about 14,000. Addamo took his time to figure out the crucial situation, and then he folded. The other player rewarded him, showing

With late registration still open until the start of Day 2, the 2020 Aussie Millions has reached 376 entrants on Flight 3 of the Main Event.
Aussie Millions Tournament Director Joel Williams praised his team and the role they played in this accomplishment.
"We had 800 exactly in 2018, but that was with 25 players registering on Day 2. Then last year we broke that record with 822 with around 26 on Day 2. So this year it's a real milestone.
"It's a testament to the staff, dealers and everyone involved at the Aussie Millions that we have reached this number.
"We're still expecting maybe 20-25 more tomorrow, and that's fairly fluid. Could be ten could be 40 but to hit 800 tonight is a monumental achievement."

flop. Bayley was ahead with 
versus

A few hands ago, Dan Smith squeezed from the small blind and his three-bet got through. However, his hand got exposed due to some miscommunication, and the table saw 
.
Shortly afterwards, Smith was again seen in the middle of a raising contest, this time sitting in the big blind. He squeezed to 7,600 over a raise from under the gun and three flats. The action folded around to Bruno Portaro who studied Smith's remaining stack and then placed forward what looked like a covering pile of chips. Smith, to make sure, announced he was all in and Portaro declared the call for Smith's 38,600.

Smith was ahead and Portaro couldn't catch up on the 
board, shipping a juicy double to the high stakes superstar.
"Fortunate turn of events," Smith concluded.
