Ami Barer Wins the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event for AU$1,600,000

The 2014 Aussie Millions has been full of big stories. First there was the five-way chop in the $25,000 Challenge that ultimately saw Max Altergott emerge victorious, and then Yevgeniy Timoshenko overcame a huge chip disadvantage to win the $100,000 challenge.

On Sunday, the final seven players of the 668-player Main Event returned to play down to a winner, and after nearly 12 hours, the man who emerged victorious to capture the AU$1.6-million first-place prize was Ami Barer.

The players were deep when play resumed, so it was no surprised that it took three hours for the first elimination to occur. It happened in Level 28 (40,000/80,000/10,000) when Darren Rabinowitz opened for 160,000 and was met by three-bet all in of just over a million by Seiver from the button. Both blinds folded, Rabinowitz called, and it was off to the races.

Seiver: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Rabinowitz: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Seiver was a 55.24% favorite while Rabinowitz would win 44.40% of the time. Unfortunately for Seiver, this was one of those time as the flop came down {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Spades} to pair Rabinowitz's ace and make him an 86.36% favorite.

The {3-Hearts} turn was a good card for Seiver as it gave him a 25% chance of hitting his flush, but it was not meant to be as the {J-Clubs} blanked on the river. Seiver was eliminated in seventh place for AU$170,000.

After the last Australian in the field, Andrew Phaedonos, ran into Sorel Mizzi's kings and fell in sixth place — thus ensuring an Aussie Millions champ from North America for the first time ever — Vincent Rubianes followed him out the door in fifth after running smack dab into the pocket rockets of Rabinowitz.

Despite scoring that knockout, Rabinowitz was the next to go. It happened in Level 30 (60,000/120,000/10,000) when Rabinowitz opened for 240,000 under the gun and Barer responded by three-betting from the button. The blinds both folded, Rabinowitz moved all in, and Barer snap-called.

Barer: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Rabinowitz: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

Rabinowitz's rail, which included Joe Kuether, Ryan Riess, and Bryan Campanello, were on their feet and calling for a five. The {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop didn't do it, but it opened up some runner-runner possibilities.

"Any two across is good," Campanello bellowed. Indeed it would have been, but it was the three-across {6-Clubs} that opened up the gutshot straight draw possibility. Unfortunately for Rabinowitz and his supporters, the {A-Diamonds} blanked on the river to send him home in fourth place for AU$450,000.

Minutes later 2012 World Series of Poker third-place finisher Jake Balsiger was eliminated from the tournament via a bad beat. It happened when Balsiger min-raised to 240,000 on the button, Barer three-bet to what looked like 575,000 from the small blind, and the American four-bet to 1.175 million. Barer five-bet ripped, moving all in for effectively five million or so, and Balsiger snap-called.

Balsiger: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Barer: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Balsiger was in great shape to double up and take the chip lead, but his odds of winning the hand dipped when the dealer fanned {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, giving Barer eight extra outs to make a straight.

"Always a sweat!" someone yelled from the rail.

The turn was the {5-Clubs}, bringing a third club, and it reduced Barer's outs to eight because Balsiger held the only club. The {6-Hearts} completed the board, giving both players a straight, but Barer's ten gave him the winning hand and eliminated Balsiger in third place.

With that massive hand, Barer began heads-up play with a three-to-one chip lead against Mizzi, and it didn’t take too long for him to seal the deal. It happened when Mizzi shoved into Barer's aces, and the rest as they say is history.

Sorel Mizzi Eliminated in 2nd Place (AU$1,000,000)

Nível 31 : 80,000/160,000, 0 ante
Sorel Mizzi - 2nd Place
Sorel Mizzi - 2nd Place

Ami Barer opened with a raise from the button and Sorel Mizzi announced that he was all in. Barer snap-called and Mizzi, who is the only player to make the final table of the Aussie Millions Main Event twice, discovered the bad news.

Mizzi: {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Barer: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Mizzi had run smack dab into Barer's pocket rockets, but that didn't stop his supporters — which included Liv Boeree and Antonio Esfandiari — from calling for diamonds. "Shine bright like a diamond," they began to chant, though they were silenced when the flop came down {2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

Mizzi was left in needed of either running queens or eights, but the {3-Hearts} turn took away any chance of that happening. The inconsequential {A-Diamonds} was put out on the river to give Barer a full house, and Mizzi has to settle for runner-up and a AU$1,000,000 consolation prize.

Sorel Mizzi had the button and raised to 240,000. Ami Barer defended, the flop fell {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}, and Barer checked. Mizzi fired out another 240,000, Barer check-raised to 525,000, and Mizzi called.

Bared led out for 630,000 after the turn produced the {2-Diamonds}, Mizzi called, and the {j-Clubs} completed the board. Barer checked, Mizzi quickly checked behind, and Barer instantly showed {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for trip sevens.

Jake Balsiger - 3rd Place
Jake Balsiger - 3rd Place

The United States will have to wait at least another year to bring home the Aussie Millions Main Event title, as Jake Balsiger has exited in third place at the hands of Ami Barer.

Balsiger min-raised to 240,000 on the button, Barer three-bet to what looked like 575,000 from the small blind, and the American four-bet to 1.175 million. Barer five-bet ripped, moving all in for effectively five million or so, and Balsiger snap-called.

Balsiger: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Barer: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Balsiger was in great shape to double up and take the chip lead, but his odds of winning the hand dipped when the dealer fanned {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, giving Barer eight extra outs to make a straight.

"Always a sweat!" someone yelled from the rail.

The turn was the {5-Clubs}, bringing a third club, and it reduced Barer's outs to eight because Balsiger held the only club.

The {6-Hearts} completed the board, giving both players a straight, but Barer's ten gave him the winning hand and eliminated Balsiger in third place.

With that massive hand, Barer heads into heads-up play with a three-to-one chip lead against Sorel Mizzi.

Vincent Rubianes Eliminated in 5th Place (AU$335,000)

Vincent Rubianes - 5th Place
Vincent Rubianes - 5th Place

Darren Ribinowitz opened with a raise from the button only to have Vincent Rubianes three-bet all in from the small blind. The big folded, Ribinowitz snap-called and the cards were turned up/

Ribinowitz: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Rubianes: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Rubianes had picked the wrong spot and in was in dire straits. The {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop gave Rubianes a jack, but it also put a pair of sixes on board. That meant Rubianes would need to catch another jack to overcome Ribinowitz's aces and sixes. The {8-Diamonds} turn wasn't what he was looking for and neither was the {3-Clubs} river.

Rubianes was eliminated in fifth place and exited to the loving arms of his supporters on the rail.

Andrew Phaedonos Eliminated in 6th Place (AU$250,000)

Andrew Phaedonos - 6th Place

Darren Rabinowitz opened the action for 160,000 and Andrew Phaedonos made the call. Chip leader Sorel Mizzi then three-bet to 450,000, Rabinowitz folded, and Phaedonos shoved all in for roughly half a million. Mizzi snap-called and Phaedonos discovered the bad news.

Phaedonos: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Mizzi: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Phaedonos' rail were on their collective feat to watch the fate of the local Melbourne player. They began calling for a club, but there were silenced when the flop came down {3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Spades} to give Mizzi top set. The {A-Diamonds} turn gave them some hope as Phaedonos could make a straight with a ten, but lady luck refused to smile upon him and instead the {5-Hearts} completed the board.

Phaedonos' supporters were disappointed, but they gave their man a nice round of applause nonetheless. With that, the last Australian was eliminated from the tournament, which means there will be an Aussie Millions winner from North America for the first time.

It's taken nearly three hours of play, but we've finally had our first elimination.

It happened when Darren Rabinowitz opened for 160,000 and was met by an all-in three-bet of just over a million by Scott Seiver from the button. Both blinds folded, Rabinowitz called, and it was off to the race.

Seiver: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Rabinowitz: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Seiver was a slight 55.24% favorite while Rabinowitz would win 44.40% of the time. Unfortunately for Seiver, this was one of those time as the flop came down {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Spades} to pair Rabinowitz's ace and make him an 86.36% favorite.

Phaedonos Doubles in Last Hand Before Dinner

Andrew Phaedonos

Vincent Rubianes opened with a raise only to have a short-stacked Andrew Phaedonos three-bet all in from the big blind. Rubianes made the call and the cards were turned up.

Phaedonos: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Rubianes: {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Phaedonos was ahead, and he took a hammerlock on the hand when the {3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop delivered him an ace. The {4-Spades} turn left Rubianes drawing dead, and after the {9-Hearts} was run out on the river, Phaedonos was pushed the pot.

We'll have updated counts for you shortly.
