flop when Jake Balsiger checked and Darren Rabinowitz fired out a bet. Balsiger called, both players checked the 
turn, and the 
completed the board on the river.
Balsiger seized the initiative and led out for 300,000, which sent Rabinowitz into the tank. He thought for a couple of minutes before throwing his hands up in the air as if to say, "What could you have?" Rabinowitz then grabbed his hand and sent it to the muck.

Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Darren Rabinowitz opened the action for 160,000 and Andrew Phaedonos made the call. Chip leader Sorel Mizzi then three-bet to 450,000, Rabinowitz folded, and Phaedonos shoved all in for roughly half a million. Mizzi snap-called and Phaedonos discovered the bad news.
Phaedonos: 
Mizzi: 
Phaedonos' rail were on their collective feat to watch the fate of the local Melbourne player. They began calling for a club, but there were silenced when the flop came down 
to give Mizzi top set. The turn gave them some hope as Phaedonos could make a straight with a ten, but lady luck refused to smile upon him and instead the 
completed the board.
Phaedonos' supporters were disappointed, but they gave their man a nice round of applause nonetheless. With that, the last Australian was eliminated from the tournament, which means there will be an Aussie Millions winner from North America for the first time.

Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
It's taken nearly three hours of play, but we've finally had our first elimination.
It happened when Darren Rabinowitz opened for 160,000 and was met by an all-in three-bet of just over a million by Scott Seiver from the button. Both blinds folded, Rabinowitz called, and it was off to the race.
Seiver: 
Rabinowitz: 
According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Seiver was a slight 55.24% favorite while Rabinowitz would win 44.40% of the time. Unfortunately for Seiver, this was one of those time as the flop came down 
to pair Rabinowitz's ace and make him an 86.36% favorite.
The turn was a good card for Seiver as it gave him a 25% chance of hitting his flush, but it was not meant to be as the blanked on the river. Seiver was eliminated in seventh place for AU$170,000.
