Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Players were already three-ways and looking at the 8♠10♥2♠ flop with Kevin Lee in the big blind, Wei Han Le in middle position and Scott Stewart in the cutoff. The pot stood at around 20,000.

Le had just lost the majority of his stack after doubling up another player in one of the first hands of the day and had committed around half his remaining stack to the pot pre-flop. Le jammed for his remaining 8,200 on the flop and both Lee and Stewart called.

The A♦ was turned, Le bet15,000 and Stewart called, taking them to the 9♥ river.

Le bet 35,000, Stewart paused before moving all in for 76,500, asking for around a third of Le's remaining chips.

After around 2 minutes of tanking, and doing some pot calculations out loud, Le called.

Kevin Lee: 7♠6♠ All in

Scott Stewart: Q♠J♠ All in

Wei Han Le: A♥2♥

Stewart was first to show his straight, which held up against Le's two pair. Lee had flopped a flush draw and missed on the runout, ending his tournament life less than an hour into Day 2.

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Sam Ruha was all in with AxKx for his remaining in one of the first hands of the day for ~29,000 and called by Kevin Lee AxQx.

Ruha held on the Ax2x6xAx10x runout, with his king kicker saving him from being eliminated just 10 minutes into the first level of the day.

Across the floor, Nicholas Nicolaou was seen raking in a pot after his pocket aces held on a low run out against his opponent, also saving his seat.

Both players got back up to around starting stack, securing their seat in the Main Event.

491 Players Return to Crown Casino for Aussie Millions Main Event Day 2

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Laura Fryer

Day 2 of the Aussie Millions $10,600 Main Event gets underway today at Crown Casino, Melbourne, as the surviving players from all three starting flights return to battle through another full day of play. After three days of action packed poker, a combined field of 706 entries has been whittled down to 491 players who will take their seats when cards go in the air at 12:30 p.m. local time.

Late registration remains open until the commencement of Level 9, giving any last minute hopefuls one final opportunity to join the 2026 Main Event before the field officially locks in. Once registration closes, the prize pool and payout structure will be confirmed, setting the stage for the long road toward the final table.

Leading the way into Day 2 is Tom McMahon, who topped the overall counts with a massive 329,800 stack on Day 1a. He was seen climbing throughout the day, including one spot which saw him take a big pot from his neighbour Man Wong during Level 5. Close behind in the counts are Lennart Valloe (280,900) and Jordan Batis (271,500), with each player bagging at the top of the counts from their respective entry flights.

Several big names will also be back in action today. Chicago Bulls NBA star Josh Giddey (168,000) and fellow local Aussies Jackson Warne (39,400) will be returning to Day 2, each looking to make their mark on home ground.

A number of WSOP bracelet winners will also return to the felt this morning, including Sam Higgs (72,600) and Andrew Hinrichsen (66,400) who both bagged just over a starting stack and will be looking to Day 2 for an opportunity to build. Joe Hachem will also return with a sizeable 130,900, putting himself in a comfortable position in the middle of the pack. Kahle Burns (125,300), Heidi May (75,000), Martin Finger (66,900) and Angel Guillen (62,000) also join their fellow bracelet winners at the tables today, all managing to top up their counts from their 60,000 starting stack.
