"You Think I Bluff?"

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Manny Rodriguez
Manny Rodriguez

Manny Rodrigues opened to 20,000 from under the gun and William Lim called on the button. Chris Zenonos also defended the big blind, taking the players three-ways to the flop.

The K♦6♥8♣ fell, and action checked to Rodrigues who bet 30,000. Lim raised to 100,000 and Zenonos took a while to fold. Rodrigues called, taking the players heads-up to the 9♦ turn.

Rodrigues bet 55,000 and Lim moved all in. During the hand Lim was commenting to Rodrigues "What are you doing.. you loose?". After some consideration, Rodrigues folded but showed K♠.

Lim continued with "You think I bluff?" as he peeled a 6♦ first, then his second 6♠ hole card for trip sixes.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Jackson Yong moved all in for approximately 50,000 total. Dustin Tran called in the big blind to put Yong at risk and a showdown was held.

Jacob Yong: K♣J♣All in
Dustin Tran: 5♣6♦

Yong's hand couldn't hold up after the 3♠10♥8♠5♥7♠ runout paired Tran's five and he was sent to the rail with a min-cash.

McSwiney Burst the Bubble

Josh McSwiney Bubble
Josh McSwiney Bubble

Joshua McSwiney opened to 23,000 from the cutoff and Jackson Young three-bet to 100,000 in the small blind. McSwiney moved all in for his remaining ~300,000 and Young snap called.

Joshua McSwiney: K♣J♣All in
Jackson Young: J♥J♦

With McSwiney at risk, he needed to hit the board to stay in the tournament and make the money. He was already stood and had walked away from the table before the board was dealt.

The 7♦Q♣8♣ flop saw McSwiney pick up a club flush draw, and a backdoor straight. A 5♥ turn didn't change anything, and his hope was lost as the dealer placed the A♦ river.

McSwiney busted on the stone bubble, with all remaining players making the money here in the Aussie Millions Main Event, locking up the minimum cash of A$20,020.

Michael Gathy opened to 25,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 82,000 by Didier Guerin in the small blind. Gathy responded with a shove for 374,000 total and Guerin called to put Gathy at risk.

Michael Gathy: Q♦Q♣All in
Didier Guerin: K♠K♥

Gathy was in trouble against Guerin's Cowboys, but the J♣9♣8♦ gave him additional outs to a straight.

The 10♥ turn got shouts of disappointment from onlookers as Gathy improved to a straight, and the 2♦ river changed nothing — awarding Gathy the double to keep the money bubble going.

Kok Foo Chai open jammed for his remaining 77,000 from middle position. He was called by Ricky Vikas in the cutoff. Action folded quickly through the blinds and the players went to showdown.

Kok Foo Chai: A♦Q♣All in
Ricky Vikas: K♣K♥

Vikas was ahead, but there was plenty to sweat on the 4♣2♠3♦ flop as Chai picked up a straight draw.

Chai shot into the lead on the A♣ turn and held on the 7♦ river to double on the bubble.

Aditya Rao opened to 20,000 on the button and Sooriya Rajeswaran three-bet to 70,000 in the big blind. Rao four-bet to 120,000 and Rajeswaran called.

The pair saw a J♣2♥4♥ flop and Rajeswaran check-jammed, covering Rao's 330,000 stack, after facing a 80,000 bet by Rao.

Rao snap called, and the floor held the action until the rest of the tables had been complete. It wasn't long before they went to showdown, and the players flipped over their cards.

Aditya Rao: K♣K♥All in
Sooriya Rajeswaran: 6♥5♥

Rao had pocket kings but Rajeswaran had plenty to work with looking at a flopped flush and straight draw.

There was no change on the 2♣ turn but Rajeswaran spiked the gutshot straight with the 3♠ falling on the river.

It was the end of the road for Rao, and he was eliminated in 97th place, just two away from making the money.

Cole Swannack opened to 20,000 on the button and just behind him, Jacob Yong shoved for his last 29,000. Swannack called to put him at risk and hands were revealed.

Jacob Yong: Q♠Q♣All in
Cole Swannack: A♦7♥

The J♥4♦5♠2♠8♣ runout kept Yong's ladies in front and he was awarded a double up on the first round of hand-for-hand.
