Burns Out

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

After that big clash with Chartier and Urbanovich, Kahle Burns was extremely short. He lost the remained of his chips just now, getting it in with {2-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds} up against {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades}. The board ran out {9-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Burns hit the rail

Urbanovich Scoops Massive Pot

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
Dzmitry Urbanovich
Dzmitry Urbanovich

After some raises back and forth, Sam Chartier, Dzmitry Urbanovich and Kahle Burns got a lot of chips in on {10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} with Chartier all in. The rest of the chips went in on the {3-Clubs} turn between Urbanovich and Burns and the cards went on their backs.

Dzmitry Urbanovich: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Sam Chartier: {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The river {7-Clubs} was a blank and Urbanovich scooped the massive pot, busting Chartier and leaving Burns short.

Defending Champ Busts Joseph

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Defending $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha Champion Daniel Demicki opened the action with a raise to 2,300 from under the gun and Germany's Fabian Geisel made the call from the cutoff before Jeremy Joseph re-raised full pot from the button, leaving himself just 600 behind.

Demicki re-potted and after Geisel bowed out it was heads-up with Joseph calling off his last 600 for his tournament life.

Jeremy Joseph: {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{a-Spades}
Daniel Demicki: {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} meaning Demicki's pair of eights was enough to win the hand and send Joseph crashing out of the tournament.

Greenwood Doubles Again

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

The pot was already quite sizable when the small blind and cutoff Sam Greenwood checked on a board of {5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. The {4-Clubs} on the river saw the small blind check. Greenwood shoved all of his big denomination chips in, 16,500, and the small blind called. Greenwood showed {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and the small blind mucked.

Break

Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante

Another break for the players. Registration closes as soon as the break is over in 15 minutes.

Timoshenko Takes a Hit, Higgs Busts a Second Time

Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante
Yevgeniy Timoshenko
Yevgeniy Timoshenko

We caught the action on the flop on a board reading {j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Spades} just as Yevgeniy Timoshenko led out for a pot-sized bet of 3,500. Timoshenko's opponent in the hand, sitting on the button, reraise the pot, leaving himself just 2,000 or so behind.

This sent the Ukranian player deep into the think tank and he nearly timed out before committing the last of his opponent's chip to the pot with a three-bet.

Timoshenko had {j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for the flopped full house, which was leading his opponent's {j-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. The {7-Diamonds} turn did not change anything but the {k-Hearts} river gave the all-in player a higher full house and he scooped the pot while Timoshenko dropped to around 19,000 after that spot of misfortune.

We saw Sam Higgs get up from another table while this hand was taking place, and he was headed for the exit muttering to himself so it looks like the Australian player could not get anything going and he has now busted for a second and final time.

PLO is a Quick Game

Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante

Chips are flying in left and right here in the Pot Limit Omaha event on the last day of the 2017 Aussie Millions. In fact, things go so quick sometimes, we hardly have time to report the action.

What we do know is that Dzmitry Urbanovich just doubled with {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} against {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. The board they were sharing was {4-Spades}{7-Spades}{J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} but we don't know when the chips went in. Urbanovich at 27,000.
