Event 1 - $1,100 No Limit Holdem Day 1 | 2007 Aussie Millions Crown Casino Poker Championship

Side Action and Electronic Action

Many of the poker events we have witnessed lately have been all about the tournaments and the side action has been a big disappointment. Not so here at the Crown. Every, and I mean every, tournament table that was been broken has immediately been filled with cash games or satellites. The electronic PokerPro tables have been busy all day and now have a wait list for seats.

Poker is in full bloom here in the summer sunshine of Melbourne.

Chop-Chop

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Earlier today it seemed like the tournament was going to be Cracked Aces Forever. Now it seems it 's become Chop-Chop and not just chopped pots but in the last two levels I have seen the following hands turned up pre-flop.

{A-Diamonds}

verssus

versus

versus

and

versus

and yes they all resulted in chopped pots.

The best, however, was a SB forced all-in with {2-Clubs}

versus

but a board of {7-Spades}

saved the choppy day.

Tony Trimachi hits the road

Con Cotsomitis moves all in for $3900 into Tony's BB. Tony puts his last $2250 with {5-Diamonds}

, claiming he has "two straight draws", but is dominated by Con's {K-Hearts}

.

The board brings no help and Tony hits the road.

We are just a few bustouts away from 100 players remaining. Fifteen minutes to go in this Level 7. Then its one more level before a dinner break and we should be in sight of the money by then. Paying top 45 in today's event and playing down tonight to a Final Table of 9 players.
