No Rest for the Wicked
Defending Aussie Millions champion Toby Lewis finished 2nd in the A$ 25,000 Challenge and claimed the Aussie Millions ring in the A$ 50,000 Challenge after both events ended with a deal and blind flip to end the tournaments. Lewis lost the first flip against Rainer Kempe, but defeated Manig Loeser not long ago to take home the lion's portion of the prize pool.
After just a short break, Lewis entered Day 1c of the Main Event and sits right next to fellow countryman Craig McCorkell with other notables such as David Yan, Natalie Teh, Tsugunari Toma and Yosuke Sekiya also all seated at his table.
Lewis defended his small blind and check-called a bet of Yan for 1,500 on the 
flop. The 
turn and a blank river were checked and Yan showed king-ten high, which Lewis had beat with 
.
Runner-up Loeser has also entered the Main Event already, but lost a decent chunk of his stack thus far.
