2:20pm: Dylan doubles
Level 27: Blinds 30,000/60,000 (10,000)
Shortstack Dylan Honeyman found a double up through chip leader Ari Engel.
Engel jammed from the cutoff and it folded to Honeyman in the small blind. He gave it some thought but committed for his last 740,000.
Honeyman: [7s][7h]
Engel: [5h][2h]
Honeyman was way in front and while the [ks][2s][3s] paired Engel, Honeyman was still in great shape holding the only spade of the two. The [6h] turn did give Engel a gut shot straight draw but the [jc] bricked out and Honeyman scored himself a double up.
2:10pm: Pair versus pair
Level 27: Blinds 30,000/60,000 (10,000)
Kitty Kuo raised from the hijack position to 125,000 holding [5d][5s] and play passed around to Samantha Abernathy who made the call in the big blind with [8s][8d].
The flop landed [as][kh][6d] and Abernathy check-called for a bet of 100,000. The board got scarier for the small pairs when then [qh] hit the turn and both players checked. The river was the [3s] and again it was checked down with Abernathy's pair of eights taking it down. She's now up to four million in chips while Kuo is getting pretty short.
1:55pm: One for Abernathy
Level 27: Blinds 30,000/60,000 (10,000)
Dylan Honeyman opened with a raise to 125,000 from the hijack position holding [ks][qd] before Samantha Abernathy three-bet to 275,000 in the small blind with [as][ts]. Honeyman thought briefly before making the call and the flop landed [ah][7h][7d].
Hitting top pair, Abernathy led out with a bet of 325,000 and that was enough to take it down.
1:45pm: Six on the river saves Samantha again!
Level 27: Blinds 30,000/60,000 (10,000)
On Day 4, Samantha Abernathy was involved in an interesting hand where she spiked a six on the river to hit a set and crack the pocket kings of Mikel Habb.
Well, Abernathy has done it again with a six on the river sparing her from doubling up Dylan Honeyman.
Abernathy opened with a raise to 125,000 from the cutoff. Honeyman three-bet to 260,000 from the big blind before Abernathy declared herself all in and Honeyman snapped it off.
Abernathy held [ah][kc] but Honeyman had the goods with his [ac][ad]. The flop of [5c][9c][8c] brought three clubs but that was no help to Abernathy as Honeyman held the best club. The turn was the [7d] which brought a few murmurs of a potential chop as Abernathy would need to somehow find an off-suit six on the river.
The dealer burned and there it was...the [6h]! The crowd roared as the popular Abernathy was saved from doubling up her dangerous opponent as they chopped it up!
1:40pm: Engel with the cold four-bet
Alex Lynskey opened with a raise to 125,000 holding [kd][js], before Tony Dunst three-bet in the cutoff to 275,000 with unknown cards. Action then passed to Ari Engel who decided to get involved from the small blind with [ac][9h].
Lynskey got out of the way, and Dunst gave it a little thought before also stepping aside.
1:30pm: John Apostolidis eliminated in 7th place (AU$210,000)
Level 27: Blinds 30,000/60,000 (10,000)
It hasn't taken long to lose our first player from the Aussie Millions Main Event final table with the lone amateur, John Apostolidis, the one to fall.
On the third hand of the final table, Apostolidis raised from early position to 205,000 and action folded around to Samantha Abernathy in the small blind. She moved all in and Apostolidis made a quick call.
It was a coin flip with Apostolidis making the call with [ah][kc] against Abernathy's [qs][qh].
The board ran out [5d][jd][8c][4h][7c] and after a quick count down of chips, it was deemed that Abernathy had Apostolidis covered.
It was a great run by the Melbourne local as he captures the biggest result of his career with his 7th place worth AU$210,000.
Meanwhile Abernathy is up to around 3.5 million in chips.
1:20pm: John jams first hand
Level 27: Blinds 30,000/60,000 (10,000)
First hand and first pot to John Apostolidis.
It folded to Apostolidis in the cutoff and he moved all in for 950,000.
The whole table folded and Apostolidis showed [jd][jc].
12:50pm: Cards in the air!
