Things were very tense in the Crown Poker room today as players wait for the bubble to burst in the 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event. Find out if Grant Levy makes the cash.View the original article here
January 26 2012, Eric Ramsey, Chad Holloway
Two major scheduling changes were announced during Day 15 of the 2012 Aussie Millions Poker Championship. The first was that an extra day would be added to the $10,000 Main Event, meaning the final table would be pushed back to Sunday. The second announcement regarded the start of the $250,000 Challenge being postponed until Saturday.
The biggest story on Thursday, though, was Phil Ivey's deep run in the Main Event. Here’s a look at the action from Day 15 of the 2012 Aussie Millions Poker Championship:
Event #8: $10,000 Main Event Day 3
Day 3 of the Aussie Millions Main Event came and went much faster than most everyone anticipated. From the starting field of 659 runners, the final 75 returned to the Crown Casino Thursday for five scheduled levels of action. Instead, play was cut short after three levels as the field was dashed all the way down to 26 players. When the bags game out, Matthew Turk had worked his stack up to the top of the leaderboard with nearly double the chips of his nearest challenger.
With 75 players returning and only room for 72 on the payout sheet, three unlucky souls were sent off empty handed. As anticipated, the bubble arrived early in the day, but it took nearly two hours to find the next knockout and lock up a payday for the remaining 72. Frank Paul was all the way down to 11,000 chips — barely two big blinds — when he pushed the last of it in with 
. Kenna James didn't have much of a decision in the big blind, and his 
was drawing live for the knockout. Sure enough, the board ran out 
and Paul was sent away with only a wooden spoon to show for his AUD$10,000 investment.
Once the soft stepping on the bubble was out of the way, the doors were thrown open and the march to the payout desk began in full force. Tom Grigg was one of the first to bow out with a small cash and was quickly followed out the door by Daniel Botta, James, Billy "The Croc" Argyros, Alexander Roumeliotis, Michael Tureniec, Dominykas Karmazinas, and Michael Pedley. Australia's newest bracelet winner Andrew Hinrichsen was eliminated toward the end of the evening after running his pocket queens into Turk's two kings — an unfortunate end to his day.
It was a game of leapfrog at the top of the chip counts on Day 3, and a handful of players passed the top spot around for a few hours. That included Ivey, who plugged along steadily to bag up 1,107,000 at night's end. He was in contention for the overall lead until a monster pot unfolded on the final hand of the night.
It happened on Table 32 with 280,000 pulled into the pot. Jason Koon had 89,000 out in front of him, meaning some sort of raising war had taken place. Turk took about 40 seconds before moving all-in, and a visibly stunned Koon make the call to create a pot worth around 2 million!
Showdown
"Let's flip for all the chips," Koon said when he saw his opponent's cards. "Whoever wins this wins the tournament." It was a huge hand that would essentially guarantee the winner a spot at the final table. As the railbirds surrounded the table, the dealer burned and the 
was in the window! Koon's excitement vanished instantly when the full flop rolled out 
. Turk had flopped a set to take a commanding lead.
Koon, clearly dejected, pleaded for a sweat card on the turn, but the 
left him drawing dead. The 
river sent Koon home in 27th place while Turk ended the night as the massive chip leader with 2.675 million.
The remaining field includes with a couple bracelet winners and a former champion of this event still in the mix. Lee Nelson won this thing in 2006, and he'll be returning Friday with an above average stack of 878,000. Daniel Idema bagged up 1.033 million to end the night, and eight-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey is just out of the overnight top five with 1.107 million. Other notables still in the mix include Yann Dion, Oliver Speidel, Danny Chevalier, Grant Levy and David Steicke.
Day 4 kicks off at 12:30 pm in Melbourne, and the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand capturing all the action.
Event #16: $2,500 H.O.R.S.E.
On Thursday, the final table of eight in Event #16: $2,500 H.O.R.S.E. returned to battle down to a winner. The tournament had attracted 39 entrants the day before, creating a prize pool of $87,750. Here is how things stacked up at the start of the final table:
With only five spots being paid, the players were eager to turn on the aggression. Matt Woodward and Tom Koral were the first two to go, and Jarret Bullock followed them out the door as the unfortunate bubble boy. David Bach, former winner of the World Series of Poker $50,000 Poker Players Championship, then took over the chip lead and rode it all the way to victory.

Upcoming Events
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand for the duration of the 2012 Crown’s Aussie Millions Poker Championship Main Event on Friday. In addition, Event #19 $2,500 NLHE Six Handed and Event #21 $1,100 8 Game Mixed Event will get under way.

The 2012 Aussie Millions Poker Championship continued Wednesday with Day 2 of the AUD$10,000 Main Event. The field was stacked with the likes of Tom “durrrr” Dwan, Phil Ivey, Jason Mercier, Gus Hansen and Tony G taking their shot at the Southern Hemisphere’s most prestigious title.
Here’s a look at the action from Day 14 of the 2012 Aussie Millions Poker Championship:
Event #8: $10,000 Main Event Day 2
Thanks to a few late registrants, the 2012 Aussie Millions Poker Championship Main Event officially drew 659 players. Day 2 began with a field of 314, all competing for their share of a $6.59 million prize pool with $1.6 million reserved for first place.
Former Aussie Millions Main Event champs Lee Nelson, Tyron Krost, Stewart Scott and Gus Hansen returned on Day 2, but only Nelson managed to survive the day, bagging up 432,500 chips. The first former champ to go was the 2009 champ Scott, who was all-in for his last 36,000 chips with 
and up against the 
of his opponent. The board ran out 
and Scott’s day came to an early end.
Tyron Krost, who had won a lifetime of Main Event buy-ins by taking down the 10th Anniversary Tournament of Champions a few days earlier, followed Scott out the door a short time later.
Gus Hansen opted to skip Day 1 altogether and take advantage of the one-level late registration on Day 2. Unfortunately for him, his day didn’t last long. "I busted the Great Dane," Tony G told us with his chest puffed out wide. "Gus always wants to move in, and I trapped him!"
It happened when Aage Ravn opened with a raise to 2,500 from middle position and Tony G looked down at 
in the small blind. He decided to call, and that sent the action over to Hansen's big blind. He had 
and put on a squeeze play with a bet of 10,000. Ravn folded, Tony G reraised all-in, and Hansen called off the rest of his short stack. The board ran out blank for Hansen, and his Main Event ended almost before it began.
Not long after, Jason Mercier was eliminated when his 
failed to overcome the 
of Tom Grigg. Other eliminations during the day included Sebastian Ruthenberg, JP Kelly, Van Marcus, Vitaly Lunkin, Annette Obrestad, JC Tran, David Bach, Tony G, Tom Dwan, and James Dempsey. The latter having finished as the Day 1b chip leader.
Seventy-four players will return for Day 3, and the man best positioned to capture the title is Tim O’Shea, who bagged up 921,000 in chips. With less than an hour left in the day, a monster pot took place that resulted in O'Shea vaulting into the chip lead. It happened when O'Shea opened from under the gun and Josh Barrett defended from the big blind. A raising war ensued on the 
flop before the 
was put out on the turn. At this point, Barrett check-called a bet of 125,000, and followed that up with another check-call of 150,000 on the 
river.
O'Shea rolled over 
for a straight, and Barrett inquired, "How do you have a six there?" Barrett revealed that he held 
and was clearly upset at losing the monster pot. With that, O'Shea is the tournament chip leader.
Others taking big stacks into Day 3 are Phil Ivey (778,500), Ravn (708,500), Jason Koon (667,500), Oliver Speidel (540,000), and Patrick Healy (521,000),
Here's a look at some of the notable chips counts:
Day 3 of the Aussie Millions Main Event is set to get under way Thursday at 12:30 p.m. local time. The remaining 75 players are expected to break through the money bubble and begin their march to the final table. For a look at the full list of chip counts headed into Day 3, click here.
The $550 buy-in events have proven tremendously popular here at the Aussie Millions, and Event #14: $550 NLHE Terminator that took place on Tuesday was no exception. The event, which saw a $100 bounty on each player’s head, drew 224 players and created a prize pool of $112,000. Several notables entered the event, such as Peter Aristidou, Jackie Glazier, Ben Richardson, Andrew Demetrious, and our own Lynn Gilmartin. However, the big story turned out to be the deep run of Kevin Mathers, known to the poker world as “Kevmath” on Twitter. We’ll let the tweets tell the story:
