Kitty Kuo is Looking for Back-to-Back Final Tables in the AU$25,000 Challenge

The 2019 Aussie Millions AU$25,000 Challenge is a record-breaking one. Attracting a total of 151 entries, it beat the mark of 133 set in 2017 to become the largest AU$25,000 Challenge in history.

Plenty of big names jumped into the field, including former Main Event winners Ami Barer and Toby Lewis, along with 2019 Aussie Millions ring-winners Bart Lybaert, Muhammad Asad and Michael Gathy.

Just 29 players remain and are in with a shot of following in the footsteps of the following players, and taking down one of the most prestigious events at the Aussie Millions:

Shane Warne
Shane Warne was eliminated before the first break in the AU$25,000 Challenge

Former international cricket Shane Warne had satellited into this event but didn't last long as he was one of the early eliminations along with Jonathan Karamalikis, Michael Addamo and Jake Schwartz.

Other eliminations today included Sam Higgs, 2018 $100,000 Challenge winner Michael Lim, 2018 Main Event runner-up Stefan Huber, Maria Ho, Bryn Kenney, Mustapha Kanit, Dominik Nitsche, Kenny Hallaert and Sorel Mizzi.

Toby Lewis
2018 Aussie Millions Main Event winner Toby Lewis bagged second in chips

Toby Lewis moved into the chip lead midway through the day after doubling up with aces, but a late double for Jiachen Gong through the 2018 Main Event winner put pay to his chances of finishing as the overall chip leader.

That honour goes to Kazuhiko Yotsushika. The Japanese player cashed in this event last year, finishing 12th for AU$68,400. Yotsushika managed to hold off all others and bag 538,500, just ahead of Toby Lewis (487,500).

Other players to bag up over 400,000 were Martijn Gerrits (447,000), Jack Sinclair (432,500) and Adam Lee (414,500).

Another player who cashed in this event last year was Kitty Kuo, who final tabled and finished fourth for AU$242,240.

"Today feels super good compared to last year. The field is good," said Kuo. "A lot of big names, but my table draw has been pretty good. I've had four Asians on my table all the time which is really good.

"I was surprised at a lot of Japanese and Chinese players. All the regulars I know that they're going to play, but there are a lot of Asian players in this field.

Tournament Floor
The 2019 AU$25,000 Challenge had a record 151 entries

"I will always try to make A$25,000 final table because I want to prove I'm not a Main Event girl, I can win a High Roller as well. So I will always try!"

A record field comes with it a record first prize, with the winner of the 2019 Aussie Millions A$25,000 Challenge set to walk away with almost a million dollars in prize money, with A$960,360 and the ANTON Championship Ring awaiting the winner.

Gong Denies Lewis Overnight Chip Lead

Nível 12 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

Toby Lewis opened and Jiachen Gong three-bet all in for 92,500 from the small blind. Lewis called and the cards were turned over.

Toby Lewis: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Jiachen Gong: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The {6-Clubs}{k-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop had something for everyone, giving Gong top set and Lewis a flush draw. That flush draw became irrelevant, however, when the {6-Diamonds} came on the turn and Gong filled up.

The river was the {4-Hearts} and Lewis, whose stack had been approaching the 600,000 mark which would have been good enough for the overnight chip lead, was pegged back to less than 500,000.

Vojtech Ruzicka

Sorel Mizzi opened to 8,000 in the cutoff and Vojtech Ruzicka three-bet to 26,000 from the big blind.

Mizzi responded with a shove, and Ruzicka snap-called for his 101,500.

Mizzi: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Ruzicka: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Ruzicka doubled.

Yotsushika Adds Another Elimination

Nível 12 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

Marc Macdonnell got his last chips in with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} against Kazuhiko Yotsushika's pocket nines {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and would need to win a flip to stay alive in the A$25,000 Challenge.

Sadly for him, there was no help forthcoming on the {2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} run out and Macdonnell headed to the exit with around 15 minutes left in the day.
