Garlad Karlic has certainly been making some moves as of late in this event. He recently won a big pot off Phil Ivey, that you can read about by clicking here, and just now he scooped another nice one from Julius Colman.

We saw Jason Les making his way from the tournament floor, which indicated he had been eliminated from the tournament.
Sure enough, a quick check with Tony Hachem, who had been seated to Les' right, confirmed it.
According to Hachem, Benny Spindler limped from early position and Les moved all in for his last 30,600. Panayotis Flourentzou ended up calling from the hijack seat, and the rest of the players folded, including spindler.
Les tabled , and he had major kicker issues as Flourentzou held . A queen in the window pretty much sealed the deal, and Les' 2015 Aussie Millions Main Event came to an end short of the money.
Action folded to Kane Kalas on the button and he moved all in for his last 35,500. The small blind folded, but Isaac Lau opted to call from the big.
Lau:
Kalas:
It was a flip, but not after Kalas spiked a set on the flop. The turn improved him to a full house, and he was pushed the double after the was put out on the river.
"The magic continues," someone at the table said as Kalas was being pushed the pot.
Tony Bloom won the Aussie Millions Main Event back in 2004, but he won't be wining it again in 2015. Just a few moments ago, Bloom was all in for just under 40,000 with the against the of Lita Hsu.
The flop produced the , and Hsu's kings stayed in the lead. The turn was the , though, and Bloom bounced in front with a set. On the river, the dealer placed out the to put a fourth club on the board. With the in his hand, Hsu had made a flush and Bloom was off to the rail.
Action folded around to a short-stacked Luke Spano in the small blind and he shoved all in. Lita Hsu was in the big and decided to look him up.
Hsu:
Spano:
The flop was kind to Spano, who paired his five, but Hsu did pick up a gutshot straight draw. The turn was harmless enough, but not the river. Hsu made his straight and that was all she wrote for Spano.
Andrew Chen opened for 7,000 from middle position and cleared the field around to Jay Kinkade, who three-bet to 19,000 from the small blind. After the big blind folded, Chen pushed back with an all-in four-bet and Kinkade called off for right around 90,000.

Chen:
Kinkade's best shot at winning was to find an ace, but it wasn't meant to be as the board ran out a clean .
On the final board of , Keanu Simpson and Wai Tung Lo were involved in a pot with around 300,000 in chips already in the middle. When we arrived, Simpson had his last 138,000 pushed in for an all-in shove, and Lo was in the tank.
Andrew Chen, who was seated at the table, gave us the information that Simpson had check-called a bet on the turn before check-raising all in on the river. He was all in for 138,000 more than Lo's unknown bet, and Lo was in the tank for a couple of long minutes.
Eventually, Lo made the fold, and Simpson won the pot without having to go to showdown. He moved to 437,000 in chips, and Lo slipped back to 270,000.
Martin Kozlov got his last 20,000 all in preflop holding the and found himself in a race situation against Rahul Byrraju's . Kozlov got it in as a slight favorite, but it didn't hold as the flop paired Byrraju. Neither the turn nor river was the six Kozlov required, and his 2015 Aussie Millions Main Event came to an end in Level 14.
Meanwhile, Iori Yogo has also been eliminated from the tournament.
