Ho Bounces Back
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Maria Ho quickly rebounded from folding just a short while ago by winning back-to-back pots to get back to starting stack, almost.
A player in mid position opened to 300 and she and Jan Suchanek called from the blinds to see a 
flop appear. The raiser continued for 350 and was the only caller after Ho check-raised to 900. Ho led for 1,700 on the 
turn and 4,700 on the 
river and was called both times.
Her opponent confidently opened 
for a flopped two pair but lost out to Ho's rivered straight with 
.
The very next hand she three-bet a Felix Stephenson open and was only called by Suchanek . Suchanek check-called a 725 bet on the flop before admitting defeat on the turn when the board read 
.

Ho Put to the Test Early
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
We happened upon Table 47 just in time to see a big hand develop.
It appeared Maria Ho had opened from the cutoff and Jan Suchanek three-bet to 900 from the button. The small blind then came in with a four-bet to 2,000, the player in the big blind folded, and Ho pushed back with a five-bet to 4,600. It was enough to get Suchanek to fold, but not the small blind, who stacked his chips and six-bet shoved to what looked like 27,000.
Ho only had 18,500 or so behind and she thought for several minutes before conceding the hand.

Mason Frees Himself to Play
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Ash Mason is a well known online MTT grinder from the UK who now resides in Perth. He was surveying the tournament room earlier trying to work out if he should play today or wait for another, potentially softer, flight. He chose today and has a host of top talent to his right with Ola Amundsy, Benny Spindler and Ismael Bojang in residence.
Mason took on a couple of opponents to his right though and won a pot to rise to 35,000.
He raised to 300 from early position and was called by the two players in the next two seats. The flop fanned 
and Mason's 600 c-bet was called in one spot before the next player raised to 1,500. Only Mason called to the turn where he check-called 1,900. The river came 
and Mason led for 4,800 which was too much for his opponent to call.

Balsiger Gives It Up on the River
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Ever since he placed third in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event for $3,799,073, Jake Balsiger has made the trip to the Aussie Millions. In 2013, he notched four cashes at the Aussie Millions, including a runner-up finish in the A$1,150 No Limit Hold'em - Rebuy Event for AU$71,000. A year later, he only had one cash, though it was a hefty AU$650,000 for finishing third in the Main Event to Sorel Mizzi (runner-up) and Ami Barer (winner). Balsiger is seeking back-to-back deep runs, though his journey has gotten off to a rocky start.
In a recent hand, the player in the cutoff opened for 275 and Balsiger three-bet to 900 from the button. The blinds both folded, the cutoff called, and the pair watched the flop come down 
. The cutoff check-called a bet of 800, and then check-called one of 2,200 on the 
turn.
When the completed the board on the river, the cutoff changed gears and led out for 4,575. Balsiger took his time, double checked his cards, and then sent them to the muck.

Mackoff Finding the Right Mix
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Jonas Mackoff is having a great Aussie Millions festival. He came fifth in the AU$2,500 8-game event before winning a ring by taking down the AU$2,500 H.O.R.S.E event.
He only has one game to worry about today and it's working out well for him as he's already up to around 45,000 chips after getting an opponent to fold on the river of a big pot.
Around 20,000 had made it into the middle by the time the board rested as 
. Mackoff was on the button and bet 8,000 after his small blinded opponent checked to him. The fold was quick in coming and the Canadian rising star raked in a very healthy pot for this stage of the tournament.

Blain's Lets One Go
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Dermot Blain is one of Ireland's best poker players and he fins himself at one of the trickiest tables in the room with Matthew Aston and Jorn Walthaus for company.
His play had been aggressive from the off and was proving profitable until he had to let a hand go on the river when battling heads up with his neighbour to his right.
He three-bet his opponent's opening raise of 250 up to 700. Blain saw this raise and bets of 800 and 1,750 called as the board rolled out as 
. Things changed on the river though as Blain faced a 2,800 bet that made his mind up to fold.
