Lederer Losing Some More

Andrew Feldman raised from the button to 7,000 and Howard Lederer called out of the small blind. The big blind folded, leaving Lederer and Feldman heads up.

The flop came down {J-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and both players checked.

The turn added the {10-Hearts} to the board and Lederer fired 15,000. Feldman made the call.

The river was the {9-Clubs} and both players checked.

Lederer turned up {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a pair of nines after missing some draws. Feldman held {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens and won the hand. He moved up to 100,000 while Lederer slipped to 40,000.

Marsha Waggoner Doubles

JP Kelly raised from under the gun before Marsha Waggoner moved all in from the button. Kelly made the call of the all-in bet for 17,000 total and tabled {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Waggoner held {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

The board ran out {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Waggoner doubled to about 40,000 chips. Kelly is on 215,000 now.

Nico Back On the Up Swing

After dropping down below the stratosphere we caught up with a hand on the turn with the board reading {9-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Nico's opponent in the hand bet 12,500 and Nico made the call.

The {10-Hearts} on the river slowed both players down to a check, check situation and when the hands were revealed, Nico's {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} beat out his opponents {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

Nico Behling is now on 279,000.

Wenig the Pot

In the cut off, [Removed:297] made it 8,000 to go and his opponent in the big blind called.

The flop came down {6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to which the big blind bet 10,000 and Wenigwieser called.

The {3-Clubs} fell on the turn and the big blind check-called Wenigwieser's bet of 22,000.

The two checked the {9-Clubs} on the river and Wenigwieser showed {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to best his opponent's {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and take the pot.

'The Big Show' Working Out

Steve Topakas

Steve Topakas' table up in Studio 3 broke about ten minutes ago, and he waved goodbye to us as he headed on downstairs to his new table in the main poker room -- a solid four minute walk down two sets of escalators.

Moments ago, he just walked back past the desk and waved hello, as his table downstairs broke and they sent him back up here.

"It's like exercise, this," Topakas joked. "God, I'm wrecked."

'The Big Show' brought 131,000 in chips back upstairs with him.

On the bright side, it's hard to go broke when you spend more time walking to your new table than you do actually playing.

Shak and Hansen Square Off

From under the gun, Dan Shak made it 10,000 to go and found a caller in Gus Hansen.

The flop brought the {6-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and the {9-Hearts} which prompted both players to check.

On the {10-Clubs} turn, Hansen made a bet of 14,000 and was called.

The {q-Spades} river was checked by both players and Shak showed aces and Hansen threw his cards in the muck.

If At First You Don't Succeed....

We've been watching [Removed:297] for a little while now and while we've been there, he's opened three times and each of those times, he's been three-bet only to fold.

The fourth time must have been the lucky one, because it was folded around and Wenigwieser picked up a round of blinds and antes.

Smith Sucks Out Again

Robert Engel raised to 9,000 UTG and Elliot Smith reraised to 22,000 from the button. Engel moved all in for 60,000 and Elliot made the call.

Smith: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Engel: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The board was dealt {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Smith would catch the cards he needed to give him an unlikely win.

Smith, who is the sole survivor from last years Aussie Millions Main Event final table said "sorry, I run good in this tourney," before stacking up about 240,000 in chips.

How Much Are They Playing For?

One table in front of our PokerNews setup in Studio 3 has become a magnet for the cameras.

Featuring Ben Delaney, Jessica Dawley, Steve Topakas and Adam Cusenza among others the players seem to be having a great time together. Chatting, laughing, smiling; it's like a good ol' fashion home game out there. The only difference? The winner of this game takes home $2 million AUD.
