James Keys Unlocks A Royal Flush All we heard was commotion, followed by a crowd that rushed to the feature table. The board read 6c Kd Td Ad 5s and Keys was collecting a sizable pot. Keys' opponent had a set of aces, but Keys had every poker player's dream hand a royal flush, with Jd Qd. His opponent was good natured about it, realizing that although he was out, he had been busted in style. Keys is over the 100,000 mark.

12 Blinds 1,200/2,400 Ante 400 Average Stack 116,562 Players Left 128 Tables Left 26 Prohibitive Aussie Millions favorite Barny Boatman limps in from under the gun and is joined in the party by three opponents. The flop comes 6♣ 3♣ 3♦ and three players check, including Boatman. The fourth player in the hand bets out and only Boatman calls. The turn is the 5♠ and both players check. The river card is the 7♦ and Boatman throws out two yellow 5k chips. His rival gives him a look of consternation. "That's a value bet, my son," says Boatman. He doesn't actually say "My son," but you could tell he meant to. Anyway, dude tanks for like four or five minutes, muttering inaudibly as Boatman tries his best not to give away his holdings. "If I fold, you're going to show me eights," says the guy. "If I call you're going to show me the nuts." "I'm not going to show you eights," says Boatman. It seems to work. The guy calls. Boatman shows him 4♣ 2♣ for the straight. The guy mucks and Boatman takes the pot. But seriously: who'd have thought the main geezer would play such garbage?

Tyron Krost is keeping the title in Australia for the second straight year. The 23 year-old battled 746 players over five days to take the title back home to Sydney, along with the $2 million AUD first place prize.
Eight players took their seats on the final day of play. Sorel Mizzi went into the day as the chipleader, with over 40% of the chips in play. Annette Obrestad made her way to the final table of the Main Event after finishing 21st in the same event last year, and winning Event 4, the $1,100 pot-limit Omaha, this year. Also at the final table was Peter Jetten, Kosta Varoxis, Steve Friedlander, Frederik Jensen, and Stephen Shelly. Advertisement Bodog Stephen Shelly, who won his seat to the Main Event through a $22 satellite, was the first one to go when his pocket sevens were no match for Tyron Krost's jacks. The board bricked out for Shelly and he was sent home with $125,000 AUD for his efforts. Krost's next victim was Annette Obrestad. She put her remaining chips in the middle holding ace-jack and was in a race for her tournament life against the pocket sevens of Krost. The flop gave Obrestad the straight draw to go along with her chance at hitting an over card, but the turn and river blanked and "The Huntress" was gone, taking $175,000 AUD with her. The sixth place finisher was Steve Friedlander, who walked away with $250,000 AUD when his pocket sevens were no good against Kosta Varoxis' big slick. Varoxis turned trip kings and sent Friedlander packing. Krost wasn't done eliminating players after his first two. Peter Jetten would fall at the hands of Krost as well. Jetten moved all in holding {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} against Krost's {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The board was no help for Jetten and he took home $350,000 AUD for his fifth place finish. Kostas Varoxis hit the rail in fourth place, good for $450,000 AUD when Frederik Jensen's pocket deuces would hold up against Varoxis' ace-six. The chipleader going into the day couldn't hold on to it all day, as Sorel Mizzi was sent home in third place, taking home $715,000 AUD, his largest live score to date. Mizzi was holding pocket sevens to Krost's ace-king. The flop paired Krost's king and the match went heads-up. Frederik Jensen's tournament ended when his {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades} took on Krost's {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The two paired their king on the flop, but Jensen was out kicked and didn't find any help on the turn or river. His second place finish was good for $1,100,000 AUD.

Title: Re: Aussie Millions Main Event Post by: Betfair Poker Guy on February 01, 2010, 03:37:33 PM It just wasn't Sorel's day. Almost the first hand into the FT he flopped TPTK against a shorty and got it all-in against a set of neufs and then lost a huge pot in a weird hand with A5s vs AKo and then AJo vs JT (ten on turn). His exit hand ended up being 77 vs AK with a king hitting the flop. He can't complain too much as he ran like baby Jesus for a lot of the tournament.
Here's a report on the FT Tyron Krost, the 23-year old Sydney-based poker player, is the 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event Champion after besting a tough final table that included two Betfair pros, Sorel Mizzi and Annette Obrestad. Krost, who's previous largest tournament win was $35,383 when he finished 249th from 6,844 entrants in the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event, started the final table second in chips but managed to claim the chip lead and once he did he never looked back. The overnight chipleader, Sorel Mizzi, started the day badly when he opened the action to 50,000 and was called by Kosta Varoxis in the big blind. The dealer put out a flop of As9c2s which Varoxis obviously liked as he bet 110,000. Mizzi was also a fan of his hand and made a raise himself, to 238,000. Usually this would be enough to scoop the pot but his opponent moved all-in, a bet that Mizzi called. The young Canadian was in bad shape as his AsJc was up against a set of nines, and after blanks on the turn and river Varoxis had doubled up and dented Mizzi's impressive stack. Stephen Shelly was the first person to head for the cashier's desk, when he got all-in with a pair of sevens on a 8s5d3d flop against Tyron Krost's pocket Jacks. No miracle two-outer for Shelly saw him eliminated with AUD$125,000 for comfort. Next to go was Annette Obrestad, who open-shoved all-in for 600,000 (around 20BB) with AcJh only to be called by Krost holding a pair of sevens. A flop of KsQc7s brought a set for Krost but a gutshot straight draw for Annette. The turn came down 5d and despite pleas for a ten from her army of fans, the river was the king of hearts and Annette's Main Event was over, in seventh place for AUD$175,000. A remarkable achievement considering she came 21st in last year's tournament. A pair of sevens were again involved in the next elimination, this time Steve Friedlander falling victim of them. After a raise and a call, Friedlander opted to move all-in as a squeeze bet with his sevens but he was looked up by Varoxis who was holding Big Slick. A king on the flop and a second on the turn was enough to send Friedlander to the rail with AUD$250,000 in his back pocket. Krost once again became the executioner when he busted out the dangerous Canadian, Peter Jetten. A raising war preflop saw all the money go into the middle of the table with Jetten behind with his Kd5d against Krost's pair of tens. By the time the board had fallen AsJs2d7c5s, Jetten was on his way to the rail greeted by a huge round of applause from his supporters, including Tom 'durrrr' Dwan. Jetten earned AUD$350,000 for his efforts. Mizzi then suffered a major setback in his quest for glory when his As5s lost to Frederik Jensen's AhKd for a gigantic pot, to knock him down to just 950,000 chips. He fought back with his trademark aggressive style but lost another large pot when his Ace-Jack lost thanks to Varoxis' Jack-ten hitting a ten on the turn. Varoxis was next to go, in fourth, when his Ace-six off-suit failed to outdraw the pocket two's of Frederik Jensen and then it was the turn of Mizzi to fall foul of the pocket seven curse. Another preflop raising war saw both Mizzi and Krost all-in, with Mizzi holding the slight advantage with his pair of sevens against his opponent's Ace-King. However, it just was not Mizzi's day and a cruel King appeared on the flop and the young Canadian could not find one of the remaining sevens in the deck to finish third, good for AUD$715,000 his largest score to date. Those expecting an epic heads-up encounter were soon to be disappointed as a cooler of a hand ended things prematurely. A min-raise on the button from Jensen was met with a call from Krost, so both players saw a flop reading Kc3h2d. Krost checked his option but then raised Jensen's 225,000 bet to 650,000 before quickly calling Jensen's 1,100,000 shove. Krost was well in front with Ks9h against Jensen's Kd6s, and his lead increased with the arrival of the seven of hearts on the turn, meaning Jensen needed a six and only a six to survive. But the dealer put out the 2c on the river to award the title, the gold championship ring and the AUD$2,000,000 first prize to Krost. Jensen had to make do with the AUD$1,100,000 consolation prize. |
