A Selfie and a Knockout
Nível 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Moments after taking a selfie with Gus Hansen, Dennis Huntly eliminated the Great Dane.
Huntly opened to 1,600, Gus Hansen called, Barry Woods called in the hijack, and Jarred Graham defended his big blind. The flop came 
, Graham and Huntly both checked, and Hansen fired out 3,800. Woods and Graham both folded, but Huntly made the call.
The turn was the 
, Huntly checked again, and Hansen bet 7,400. Huntly tanked for a considerable amount of time, checking his hole cards twice, then called.
The 
completed the board, and Huntly led out for the first time, betting 16,000. Calling would only leave Hansen with 1,000 chips, so he opted to just go all in, and Huntly called. Hansen showed 
for aces and fives, and hit the rail when Huntly exposed 
for trip fives.
Huntly now sits with 230,000 chips and an unforgettable selfie.

Grigg Crowns King Dan in th' Knickers an' Nicks His Crown!
Nível 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Full Tilt Poker Ambassador Tom Grigg opened for 1,800 only to have "King" Dan Smith, who won the $100,000 Challenge here two years back, three-bet to 4,600. Not to be outdone, Grigg four-bet to 10,200 and then called when Smith five-bet all in for roughly 40,000.
Grigg:
Smith: 
It was a classic race, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator Smith was a slight 56.65% favorite while Grigg would score the elimination 42.95% of the time.
The 
flop was safe for Smith, and he pulled out to a 3-1 lead. Unfortunately for him, that is when the dealer burned and turned the . Grigg paired his ace to become a massive 95.45% favorite, which meant Smith needed to catch a jack and a jack only to survive. He had a 4.55% chance of doing it, but in this particular hand it didn't come as the 
blanked on the river.

For the past three days the 2014 Aussie Millions has held its three starting flights. During that time hundreds of players flooded Crown's Poker Room to take their shot at poker immortality, but a good deal of them had their hopes dashed. Today, hundreds more will experience the same fate.
