Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ciaran Paxman opened to 100,000 on the button and found one caller in Gening Dai in the big blind.

Dai check-called a 90,000 bet from Paxman on the K♥9♦4♥ flop and checked again after the 6♠ fell on the turn.

Paxman barreled 350,000 into the middle and Dai responded by raising enough to put Paxman all in for his last 835,000 behind. Paxman snap-called to put himself at risk and hands were revealed.

Ciaran Paxman: K♣9♠All in
Gening Dai: A♣9♣

Dai found himself drawing to three outs against Paxman's two pair, but the 8♦ river bricked out — awarding Paxman the sizable double up,

Aussie Millions ambassador Van Marcus has found his second five-figure bounty of the day.

After pulling a $10,000 prize during the first break, Marcus has now landed the first $25,000 mystery bounty envelope, pushing his bounty haul past $40,000.

That tally alone is already worth more than the fifth-place payout of $36,115.

Tristan Wade opened to 90,000 from early position and was called by Morry Edelstein from directly behind. Action then folded to Brendan Pettit, who shoved for his last few hundred in the big blind. Wade also went all in, which got Edelstein to fold and set up a heads-up showdown.

Brendan Pettit: A♠8♠All in
Tristan Wade: A♣10♦

Pettit was in need of help against Wade's dominating ace, but none came on the 9♠J♦J♥5♣2♠ runout — eliminating Pettit with just three tables remaining.

Jun Jia shoved for approximately 200,000 on the button and just behind him, the once chip leader Jiaxu Chen shoved for a bit less from the small blind. Jordan Batis called from the big blind to put both players at risk and a three-way showdown was held.

Jiaxu Chen: A♠9♦All in
Jun Jia: A♦3♥All in
Jordan Batis: K♥9♠

"I've got both players dominated!" Chen exclaimed after seeing all hands.

The 9♣7♣6♦4♦8♠ runout brought no shenanigans and Chen was awarded the triple up while Batis was awarded the side pot along with Jia's bounty after pairing his nine with a covering stack.

Gardner Shows the Goods

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Van Marcus opened to 75,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ben Gardner, who was on the button.

Marcus continued for 55,000 on the 2♥10♣4♣ flop and Gardner thought a bit before cutting out a raise to 150,000 and placing it into the middle. Marcus called.

The 2♣ fell on the turn and Marcus checked to Gardner, who fired 215,000 into the middle. Marcus didn't take long before sliding his cards into the muck and Gardner tabled A♣5♣ for the nut flush before collecting the pot.

Despite the hit, Marcus is still sitting on a healthy stack over about 2,250,000.
