It didn't take long on Day 2 of the 2020 Aussie Millions Opening Event for the money bubble to burst, as the starting field of 221 was whittled down to 162 in just over a level and a half.

Loni Harwood was one of the players to bust short of the money, as she got her last 15 big blinds in with but ran into the of an opponent and failed to improve.

Joey Weissman was another early casualty, with 2018 Opening Event champion Benedikt Eberle busting six spots off the money. He was looking for a vital double with against the of an opponent, but two eights on the flop left him drawing dead and he was eliminated just before the bubble eventually burst in the second level of the day.

With the blinds 1,500/3,000, Javad Etaat had raised from middle position and a short-stack just flatted in middle position.

The flop came and Etaat checked to his opponent who shoved for 17,000. Etaat called.

There was a wait for all other hands to finish, and the cards were turned over. The at-risk player showed for an overpair to the board, but Etaat showed for jacks full. The turn and river changed nothing and Etaat sent his opponent to the rail, guaranteeing the remaining players A$2,730.
