For those in Melbourne, don't forget about the upcoming Aussie Millions Welcome Party, which will take place on Wednesday after Day 2 play concludes in the Main Event. Here are all the details:
From under the gun, Igor Kurganov opened with a raise to 12,000. Action folded over to Dan Smith in the cutoff seat, and he reraised to 33,000. Play got back to Kurganov, and he took his time before firing in a four-bet to 72,000. Smith thought about it for a minute, but folded, and Kurganov won the pot.
Bryn Kenney shoved all in with the against Sam Greenwood's pocket queens. Kenney was unable to improve to win the pot, and with that he was eliminated from play in 24th place.
From middle position, Alex Trevallion raised to 11,000. Justin Bonomo called from the hijack seat, and then everyone else folded before the dealer brought out the flop. Trevallion checked, and Bonomo bet 18,000. Trevallion made the call.
The turn was the lowly , or so we thought. First, Trevallion checked for a second time in a row, and then Bonomo tossed out a bet of 45,000. After sizing up Bonomo's stack and taking some time to think things over, Trevallion check-raised all in. Bonomo snap-called to put his remaining 165,500 on the line and tabled the for a turned set. Trevallion had the for a combo draw.

From under the gun, Ryan Fee raised to 11,500. Alex Trevallion reraised to 35,000 on the button, and Fee made the call to see the flop. Fee checked, and Trevallion bet 30,000. Fee made the call.
The turn was the , and both players checked to see the land on the turn. After Fee checked, Trevallion bet 88,000. Fee tank-folded, and Trevallion won the pot.
When we arrived at the table, Igor Kurganov had 78,000 in front of him as a bet on the board, and his opponent, Ole Schemion, had raised all in for 298,000 total. Kurganov went through a long tank, but in the end his time ran out, and Schemion won the pot.
