Phil Laak threw the idea out there for everyone to show one card after taking down a pot with no showdown. He got the table to agree, but then didn't follow up.
"I came up with the terms, but then I rejected them!" Laak said with a big smile.
"I'm one of the voting members" Laak continued on the subject.
Yevgeniy Timoshenko and the two other players at the table wanted to, but Laak didn't seem interested anymore. Right now, they're still discussing things - but Laak really doesn't seem up to the plan he proposed himself.
The event got underway a bit later than scheduled but is running now with 11 layers. Among the players are Dominykas Karmazinas, Daniel Laidlaw and Sam Higgs.
With a 15,000 starting stack, 40-minute levels and a 20-second shot clock, we expect the action to be fast and furious for the penultimate event of the 2017 Aussie Millions, with this tournament concluding our coverage.
The tournament begins at 12:15 pm local time with late registration available until the end of level six. Players are allowed a second bite of the cherry with a single re-entry, should they so desire.
Poland’s Daniel Demicki defeated the 78-strong field this time last year for an AUD$98,980 ($70,082 USD) payday. If the numbers are anything to go by, this years’ event should attract a healthy field.
