2026 Aussie Millions Poker Championship
After an open to 1,000, David Yan three-bet to 3,200. Martin Finger four-bet to 8,200 and the initial raiser five-bet to 20,000.
Yan folded before Finger shoved for 28,900. His opponent called.
Martin Finger: A♦K♦
Opponent: A♠A♥
The K♠7♠2♥ saw Finger grab at least a piece of the flop, as the 8♣ turn bricked. However, the K♥ improved Finger to trips and saw him double up.
Three ways on a flop of A♥Q♣8♥, Van Marcus checked from the big blind and Gregory Sly bet 1,800. Mei Yee Lo raised to 5,400 on the button and Marcus called cold, but Sly folded.
Both players checked on the 5♣ turn and Marcus checked a final time on the 7♦ river. Lo fired 15,000 into the middle and Marcus quickly folded to award the pot to Lo.
The player on the button raised to 1,000 and was called by Tim Jenkins in the big blind.
Jenkins checked on the 10♣7♣8♠ flop and his opponent continued for 900. Jenkins called.
Jenkins then check-called a 3,500 bet from his opponent on the K♦ turn before leading out for 3,500 himself after the 6♣ completed the board.
The button responded with a raise to 8,500 and Jenkins tanked a bit before sticking in a call.
The button turned over Q♥J♣ for queen-high and Jenkins revealed 10♠9♠ for a straight to claim the pot.

Players have been sent on their second 15-minute break of the day.
The field continues to grow and is now up to 256 entrants.
Toby Joyce opened to 700 from the cutoff and was called by Chris Tran on the button and the player in the small blind.
The flop came 7♠K♠7♣ and it was checked to Joyce, who continued for 700. Tran called and the small blind folded.
Both players then checked down on the 3♣ turn and 8♥ river and Joyce announced, "Eight" as he turned over 9x8x as advertised. Tran couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Joyce.
Sinisa Jokanovic opened to 800 from the hijack and was called by Banipal Babana in the small blind and Andy Lee in the big blind.
Action checked to Jokanovic, who continued for 1,600 on the 2♣5♣A♣ flop. Babana called and Lee let his hand go.
Both players checked on the 10♣ turn and then Babana led out for 1,500 after the Q♠ completed the board.
Jokanovic didn't take long to let his hand go and Babana, who recently made a deep run in the $25k Challenge, added to his stack.
Johan Schumacher opened to 700 from middle position and called a three-bet to 1,700 from Unensaikhan Bolovson, who was in the small blind.
Schumacher called a 1,500 bet from Bolovson on the J♣4♠5♦ flop and a 4,000 bet from Bolovson on the K♠ turn.
Bolovson slowed down and checked on the 8♠ river — prompting a 15,000 bet from Schumacher.
Bolovson tossed in a single chip to indicate a call and Schumacher tabled A♠9♠ for the nut flush. Bolovson showed he held K♣K♥ for a turned set of kings and sent them into the muck.
