O'Rourke Found Himself All In Already
With a structure as good as the Aussie Millions Main Event it's hard to lose all your chips in the first level, but sometimes hands play out in a way that a big clash is inevitable.
On a 
board Liam O'Rourke bet 2,900 and the player on his left made the call before the third player involved raised it up to 8,000 from the cutoff.
O'Rourke went into the tank for a bit before he announced, "All in," and the man caught in the middle looked back down at his cards before folding.
The raiser called, showing 
, and he held the same hand as O'Rourke who tabled 
.
"I guess pocket eights weren't good enough," the gentleman said who folded, as his hand would've been live against the two straights.
On the river the 
hit, and the pot was split, putting both players back on the starting stack.
