On the Up and Uphoff

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Lennart Uphoff raised to 170,000, Brian Rast defended from the big blind, and the flop came down {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Rast led out for 235,000, Uphoff called, and the {3-Spades} appeared on the turn. Both players checked, as they did on the {J-Spades} river, and Rast showed the {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for a missed gutshot. Uphoff then rolled over the {a-Spades}{5-Clubs} for the win.

Lyndaker Doubles

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Richard Lyndaker

The final table is still a seven-handed affair after Richard Lyndaker doubled through chip leader, Lennart Uphoff.

He found a great spot after he called all in for 950,000 from the big blind after Uphoff set him in from the small blind.

Uphoff: {4-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Lyndaker: {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The board ran {5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and the freshly-shaved American remains in the hunt.

Douaglin Gets Lucky to Crack Ladies

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Brian Rast raised to 170,000 from early position and was met by an all-in three-bet to roughly 1 million from Joel Douaglin in the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded, and then Rast snap-called.

Rast: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Douaglin: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Douaglin was in trouble, but not after the {7-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop delivered him a set. Suddenly he was a massive favorite and looking to dodge a queen, which he did after the {9-Clubs} blanked on the turn followed by the {6-Spades} on the river.

Richard Lyndaker Eliminated in 7th Place (AU$160,000)

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Richard Lyndaker

It took a while but the Aussie Millions final table lost its first player of the day, and it was the unlucky Richard Lyndaker who departed after having his aces cracked.

He'd three-bet shoved on Lennart Uphoff the hand before and got the raise through; the next hand saw him three-bet to 385,000 and call all in after Uphoff four-bet jammed on him.

Uphoff: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Lyndaker: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Lyndaker couldn't have done any more and was powerless to a {6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{k-Diamonds} board rolling out to hand his opponent a set.

Douaglin Folds to the Three-Bet

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Joel Douaglin in the small blind and he limped. Lennart Uphoff checked his option from the big and the two players saw a flop of {j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Douaglin checked, Lennart bet 85,000, and Douaglin check-raised to 410,000.

Uphoff thought for a long time before three-betting to 735,000, and Douaglin thought equally as long before mucking his hand.

Manny Straight to Work

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

James Rann waited until Manny Stavropoulos had made a straight before he took a stab at the pot post flop.

Rann raised to 250,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Stavropoulos in the big blind who called. The board ran out {j-}{q-}{8-}{a-Clubs}{k-} and Stavropoulos checked all the way to the river where Rann bet 230,000 with pocket sixes. The local man called with {k-}{10-} for a straight.

Note: There's been a power out in the press room so getting all required information is tricky. It's assumed that there was a potential flush on board and that's why Stavropoulos just called on the river.

Walking Sticks for Legg

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Anthony Legg raised to 225,000 from the button and Lennart Uphoff defended from the big blind. Uphoff then check-called a bet of 200,000 on the {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop before both players checked the {6-Diamonds} turn. When the {K-Hearts} completed the board on the river, action repeated itself and Legg tabled the {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}. It was good as Uphoff sent his hand to the muck.
