and raised to 700, after which his opponent called.
The flop brought 
and Convey opted to check behind with his full house.
On the turn the 
hit and Convey's opponent bet 800, which was called by the Brit.
The river brought another nine, putting three nines on the board, and Convey's opponent threw out 1,200.
Convey, now at risk of being beaten by a single nine, called with his full house, and his opponent showed 
for a bluff. Convey took down the pot and now sits slightly above the starting stack.

Poker media phenom Marc Convey, better known as The Conv, is making his Aussie Millions Main Event debut today, and that means that the usually unbiased reporting might be skewed in his favor a little bit today.
Convey has been around for many years, both playing and reporting on tournaments, and his first live tournament result dates back to May 2006. Convey has live cashes in seven different countries, but he's still chasing his first Australian flag.
Last year Convey was honored with the Media Person of the Year award at the 2015 European Poker Awards, and an Aussie Millions trophy would fit perfectly next that on his desk.
