Kibler-Melby and Kochan Busto

Cort Kibler-Melby made one final table earlier in the 2009 Aussie Million, earning AU$25,000 for a sixth-place finish. There will be no repeat performance in the Main Event. He was short most of the day and finally pushed his stack into the middle with {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}. Team PokerNews player Will Zemljaric woke up with {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} and made the call. Zemljaric promptly flopped Broadway, {10-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {K-Clubs}, leaving Kibler-Melby dead to a queen for a chop. The board completed {K-Hearts} and {7-Hearts} to finally end Kibler-Melby's protracted short-stack battle.

On the other side of the room, Daniel Kochan suffered a similar elimination. He moved his own short stack in with {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} and was called by a player with {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. The dealer spread out a final board of {K-Hearts} {A-Spades} {7-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}, giving both players a pair of aces. Kochan's opponent's nine kicker just barely played to give him the pot and send Kochan to the rail.
