Tony Dunst Leads the Charge Into Day 4 of the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event
Just 40 players remain in the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event, and it is Tony Dunst and his stack of 1.627 million leading the way into Day 4.
Much like he did on Day 2, Dunst had a superb finish to Day 3, which allowed him to bag up some a big stack and big lead. He busted Philipp Gruissem and Pascal Hartmann in the same hand, and then closed out the night by sending Sam Steindl packing with just a few hands left to play.
James Obst was another player to finish very strong on Day 3. He did so by nailing the river with pocket eights against Victor Teng's pocket jacks to finish on 1.196 million, which was good enough for second place on the leaderboard, albeit a bit behind Dunst.
In third is one of three women still in the field, Samantha Abernathy, with 1.195 million. Kitty Kuo with 783,000 and Jessica Dawley with 302,000 are the other two female players still in the field.
With the field well into the money, each player left is guaranteed AU$25,000. The cards will be in the air at 12:30 p.m. local time, and the field will be looking to make its way down to the final table of seven.
