Michael Zhang moved all in on the button for 275,000 but left a single 5,000 chip behind. Hengrui Zhang jammed from the big blind and was snapped by Zhang.
Michael Zhang: 6♥6♦
Hengrui Zhang: A♣J♥
Michael Zhang flopped well and picked up a set on the K♦9♥6♣5♣4♥ runout, locking himself the double up.
Dejan Boskovic opened to 50,000 on the button and called a three-bet of 175,000 from Jackson Young, who was in the small blind.
Boskovic called a 160,000 bet from Young on the 4♣9♠7♠ flop and then bet 310,000 after being checked to on the K♦ turn. Young called.
The K♣ completed the board and Young checked once more. Boskovic announced a bet of 580,000 and Young went deep into the tank.
After burning up several time extensions, Young laid his hand down and Boskovic shouted, "Let's go!!!" as he turned over 6♦5♦ for a whiffed straight draw.
"Here to gamble, boys!" Boskovic said as he collected the pot.
Joshua Abady was seen walking away from the tournament area having been eliminated from the Main Event.
"Same shit, different year," he was heard to say. He finishes in 33rd place for $34,650, the exact same place he finished in the 2018 Aussie Millions Main Event.
He had gotten his chips in with ace-king against the pocket nines of Michael Kanaan, who made a flush to send Abady to the rail.
Callum Gordon maoved all in for his last 375,000 from the hijack and was called by Jesse Stanley, who had Gordon covered on the button.
Callum Gordon: A♠K♣
Jesse Stanley: A♣A♥
"I'll take a chop or something!" Gordon said after seeing he was crushed against Stanley's aces.
No chop came, however, as the 6♣7♣Q♣5♣4♣ runout left Stanley best with the nut flush to eliminate Gordon early on Day 4.
Action folded to Malcolm Trayner who opened to 50,000 on the button and Mishel Anunu defended the big blind.
The 9♥8♥7♦ flop saw Anunu check, Trayner bet 50,000 and Anunu call. A K♠ was turned, and Anunu check-called another 125,000 bet by Trayner.
A K♥ fell on the river and Anunu checked. Trayner asked for 280,000 which sent Anunu into the tank. After using two time banks, he moved across a stack to call and Trayner tabled his Q♦9♦ for two pair. Anunu mucked his hand, leaving Trayner to take down the pot.
Action folded around to the blinds, where Graham Cowan limped from the small blind and Alan Pham shoved for his last 300,000 from the big blind. Cowan nearly beat Pham into the pot with a call and a showdown was held.
Alan Pham: K♦7♣
Graham Cowan: K♥J♥
It was bad timing from Pham, who had shoved into Cowan's dominating king, and the 4♦9♥6♦5♠10♥ runout failed to improve him for the elimination.
Action folded around to Musang Kim in the small blind who jammed and covered Kurt Stevens remaining 320,000 in the big blind. Stevens called, and the players went to showdown.
Kurt Stevens: A♠J♥
Musang Kim: K♣10♥
Stevens tournament life came to an end after Kim improved to a straight on the Q♣5♥2♥9♦J♣ runout.
Players are taking a short impromptu break following their redraw now that 36 remain.
Sheldon Mayer opened to 50,000 from the cutoff and was called by Graham Cowan in the small blind and Michael Kanaan in the big blind.
The flop came 5♠3♥J♠ and it was checked to Mayer, who continued for 35,000. Cowan then check-raised to 110,000 and, not to be outdone, Kanaan announced he was all in for 595,000 total.
Mayer went deep into the tank, but eventually opted to lay his hand down and Cowan quickly followed suit to award the pot to Kanaan uncontested.
At another table, Tom McMahon was eliminated.
