Stay tuned for a recap of the day's events.
A few of the players are going to keep the high-stakes cash game going, but that will take place behind closed doors since the television tapes have stopped rolling. This concludes our coverage from the 2009 Aussie Millions Poker Championships in the land down under.
The last hand of the night saw a flop of K
Q3
hit the table with Tom Dwan, Jamie Pickering, and Phil Laak all limping in preflop. Dwan bet $3,400 from the button, Pickering mucked in the small blind, and Laak made the call from the big blind. The turn fell 4 and Laak checked. Dwan bet $8,800 and Laak made the call. The river fell 2
and Laak checked again. Dwan bet $62,200 and Laak went into the tank. After agonizing about the decision Laak made the call and Dwan turned over 86 to win the hand with a flush.
After the hand the players began to bag up their chips. Laak returned the $200,000 he borrowed from Dwan after the Unabomber hit the felt earlier. He was left with $15,000 in his stack after that. He was stuck $185,000.
Patrik Antonius raised the pot ($3,500) preflop on the button during pot-limit Omaha and Andrew Robl reraised to $12,000 from the big blind. The flop was dealt A74 and Robl bet $16,000. Antonius raised the pot ($72,000) and Robl moved all in for $103,000. Antonius called, the two players decided to run it out four times, and they turned up their hands:
Robl: AQQJ
Antonius: 9865
Run 1: K2 -- Robl wins one-fourth of the pot
Run 2: JA -- Robl wins one-half of the pot
Run 3: 10K -- Robl wins three-fourths of the pot
Run 4: 310 -- Robl amazingly wins the entire pot
Robl more than doubles up to $225,000 to get unstuck just before the end of the night. Antonius is knocked down to $1.8 million.
Four players saw a flop of Q109 during pot-limit Omaha and they all checked. The 5 fell on the turn and Phil Laak checked in the small blind. Patrik Antonius bet $3,000 in the big blind and Tom Dwan mucked. Jamie Pickering made the call on the button and Laak got out of the way. The 4 fell on the river and Antonius bet $6,000. Pickering went into the tank for a few minutes and eventually made the call. Antonius flipped over AJ85 and Pickering mucked.
Up:
Patrik Antonius, Jamie Pickering, Niki Jedlicka
Stuck:
Tom Dwan, Chris Ferguson, Phi Laak, and Andrew Robl
The crew did take a break but the players kept on gambling. They took to a few rounds of Chinese poker on the break before jumping back into the NLHE/PLO continuum for a final hour.
The players are on a 10-minute break.
Andrew Robl raised to $6,500 preflop during pot-limit Omaha and Tom Dwan made the call. The flop was dealt J75 and Robl bet $12,000. Dwan made the call and the turn brought the 5 to the party. Dwan bet $23,600 and Robl made the call. The river fell Q and Dwan bet $68,200. Robl made the call after thinking for a minute and Dwan turned up KJ52 for the full house. Robl mucked his cards.
