Roy Winston Doubles Up

Roy "The Oracle" Winston opened the pot with a 12,000 raise from the cutoff and was met by a reraise from Dag Martin Mikkelsen, who bet the pot. Winston made the 40,000 call and the flop came {Q-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Mikkelsen studied the flop for a moment before quietly announcing, "Pot." Winston made the call and revealed {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a king-high straight. Mikkelsen flipped over {Q-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.

The {A-Spades} fell on the turn, giving Mikkelsen additional outs to a full house or quads, but the {5-Hearts} on the river locked up the pot for Winston, who now has over 150,000 in chips.

Jamie Pickering Eliminated in 7th Place ($9,120 AUD)

Short-stacked, Jamie Pickering got his last 40,000 or so into the middle pre-flop holding {4-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Spades}{7-Clubs} against the {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} produced by David Bach.

The board filled out {8-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Bach took down the pot with two pair, aces and queens, to eliminate Aussie Millions Event 4 winner Jamie Pickering from the tournament.

Bach stacked up approximately 132,000 in chips after the hand.

Plays Tightens

The players have tightened up a little over the last fifteen minutes or so as we head towards the heavy end of the payout tree. No one is desperately short so they are preferring to wait for a good spot to strike and commit their chips.

JJ Hazan Doubles

In the first hand of the final table JJ Hazan pushes all in and Michael Pesek makes the call from the small blind.

Hazan: {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Pesek: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

Pesek has the lead but a six in the window on a board of {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} was good for Hazan to receive a much needed double up!
