Nível 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

It was a rough day for $25,000 Challenge champ Chance Kornuth, who came in with a decent stack only to be stuck in reverse during the first two levels of play.

In what would be his final hand, a player opened for 2,000 and Kornuth three-bet all in for 29,000 holding . Another player then moved all in over the top holding , and the original raiser folded. The flop came jack high, and Kornuth was left drawing dead when the turn blanked.

Defending Champ's Freeroll Comes to an End

Partilhar no Twitter Partilhar no Facebook

Nível 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Back at the 2012 Aussie Millions, Tyron Krost won the Tournament of Champions Event — which invited all former Aussie Millions winners to an invite-only freeroll. As a result, he won free buy-ins to the Aussie Millions Main Event for life.

Krost cashed in on it a year later when he finished 41st in the 2013 Aussie Million for AU$20,000. He was looking to add some more off the freeroll, but his attempt just came to an end at the hands of Benjamin Pollak.

We missed the elimination as it happened, but according to a player at the table Krost busted after a preflop raising war saw him get his stack all in holding pocket jacks against Pollak's kings. The board ran out clean and the 2010 champ hit the rail.

Niall Farrell Busto With Aces

Nível 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Niall Farrell's seat was vacant and we asked Ari Engel if he could remember what had happened to the Brit. Engel knew exactly what had taken place, as he was the one responsible for Farrell's early departure.

Farrell started the hand with about 25 big blinds and raised it up. Ari Engel made the call with suited in position and the big blind came along to see a flop as well.

On (with Engel's flush draw) it was the big blind and Farrell checking. Engel bet out with the flopped nuts and just Farrell made the call. The blank was an off suit and Farrell checked again. Engel made a bet again and Farrell answered with a check raise for most of his chips. Engel put Farrell all in and the EPT Malta champion made the call holding .

The river was a blank and Engel started stacking.

Final Nail Put in Schiffbauer's Coffin

Nível 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We missed Rob Schiffbauer's final hand, but 2014 World Series of Poker APAC Main Event champ Scott Davies, who had been seated to Schiffbauer's direct left, was kind enough to fill us in on the details.

As he told it, a player had opened with a standard raise and Schiffbauer three-bet all in for roughly 15,000. The original raiser called with ace-king, which was well out in front of Schiffbauer's ace-eight. The flop contained a king, and that was the end of Schiffbauer's 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event.

Nível 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Billy "The Croc" Argyros had been nursing a short stack of under 4,000, but his time in the tournament just came to an end at the hand of Paul James.

It happened when Argyros got his short stack all in preflop holding the only to run into the of James. The board ran out , meaning James' kicker just barely came into play. It was enough though to send one of the Australia's most colorful characters to the rail.

"Sometimes you've got to dance with the girl you get," the Croc offered as his final words.
