Media row is excited about the possibility (however remote) of Antonio Casale and Antonis "Toothpick Tony" Kambouris battling heads up for the Aussie Millions Main Event title. Those hopes became a bit slimmer after Casale ran pocket eights into Jonathan Plens' pocket jacks. Plens opened from the button for 11,000, then shoved for a total of 99,000 after Casale raised the small blind to 70,000. Casale was priced into a call. Plens caught a jack on a flop of to take a stranglehold on the hand. Casale was drawing dead after the turn fell .
Casale has 90,000 chips after this loss. Plens is up to 205,000.
