It's time for Day 2 of the $25,000 Challenge, and none other than Steve O'Dwyer leads with 519,000 chips, as 25 other hopefuls trail him in the hunt for the $790,560 first-place prize. O'Dwyer recently won the €50,000 Super High Roller in Prague, finished fourth in the Triton Super High Roller and took down the $50,000 High Roller at the PCA.
This two-day event will see its conclusion today, and it's looking to be another very long one. Just 14 players will get paid today in this six-max tournament, and a lot of work needs to be done by short stacks Erik Seidel, Phillipp Gruissem, Niall Farrell and Byron Kaverman.
High stakes heads up player Jason Les currently sits in second place, followed by Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov and recent EPT Prague €25,000 High Roller winner Rainer Kempe. Locals Alexander Lynskey, Michael Egan, Dean Spagnuolo, Michael Weiss and Daniel Neilson are also still in contention in this stacked field at the 2016 Aussie Million.
Play will recommence at 2:30 p.m. local time, which is exactly one hour from now. Stay tuned for all the live updates.

Rainer Kempe opened the first hand with a raise to 12,000 from the cutoff, but folded to a button three-bet to 32,000 from Eugene Katchalov.
The second hand he was right back at it, again opening to 12,000, this time from the hijack. Ben Tollerene made the call from the big blind and the high stakes cash game player check called another 18,000 on 
. Both players checked the 
on the turn and 
on the river and Tollerene waited for Kempe to show. In Australia the last agressor shows first, despite no action on the river, and so Kempe tabled 
. Tollerene took a good look, and silently slid his cards into the muck.

Michael Liem opened for 12,000 from the button and Michael Weiss defended the big blind to see a 
flop. Weiss checked, Liem moved all in for 64,000, and Weiss made the call.
Weiss: 
Liem: 
Liem was ahead, but Weiss had flopped a flush draw. The 
turn was no help to Weiss, and neither was the 
turn. With that, Liem, the short stack heading into Day 2, received a much needed double.

Benny Spindler has started Day 2 out by winning a few pots, the latest one being contested pre flop against Yaxi Zhu. Spindler raised to 11,500 and Zhu three-bet from the big blind to 31,000 before the action came back to the German pro.
After a while Spindler moved all in, and Zhu asked for a count right away.
Spindler was all in for 188,500 and Zhu took about a minute before ultimately letting go of her hand.

From the cutoff seat, Dean Spagnuolo raised to 11,000. Jason Koon called from the button, and Erik Seidel called from the big blind.
On the 
flop, Seidel checked, Spagnuolo bet 12,500, Koon called, and Seidel folded.
The turn was the 
to pair the board, and Spagnuolo bet 21,000. Koon called again, and the river completed the board with the 
. Spagnuolo bet 41,000, and Koon called.
Spagnuolo showed the 
for two pair, aces and threes, with a queen kicker. Koon showed the 
for a Broadway straight, and he won the pot.
Additionally, Koon raised the next hand to 12,000 from the cutoff seat and won the blinds and antes to add another 10,000 to his stack.

Not too long after playing a small pot against each other where Kempe got one street of value with his second pair, Ben Tollerene and Rainer Kempe clashed again.
It was Ben Tollerene who opened to 11,000 from the hijack and Rainer Kempe three-bet to 31,000 from the button. Both blinds (Katchalov and Gruissem) got out of the way and action was back on Tollerene. He shoved for 227,500 (45 big blinds) and Kempe called just about instantly.
Rainer Kempe: 
Ben Tollerene: 
Tollerene seemed unfazed and his face didn't even change one bit after the 
appeared in the window. The board ran out 
and Tollerene doubled up, leaving Kempe short.

A short-stacked Michael Weiss moved all in under the gun for 59,500 and Dominik Nitsche just flatted from the button. Michael Liem and Brian Roberts both folded from the blinds, and Weiss discovered the bad news.
Nitsche: 
Weiss: 
Weiss' best shot to survive was to catch a four, but it never came as the board ran out a clean 
.
