 Thanks guys (9 get paid). Ran pretty bad playing 4-handed lost with AsKs and 99 (vs 99 and JJ) in the 6-max, then I played pretty badly in the rebuy and got lucky (busted Eoghan O'Dea in a hand I played terrible.

 The rebuy here used to get loads of $1000 and $2000 punters but with a triple add-on and the opportunity to go $2000 a time when you buy-in they have all realised it's tough for them. Less than 100 runners and everyone in for $4000+ with just about 20 one or two bullett guys. That means a harder field.

 Toby busted in 14th (I think) about 3 minutes after he gave his tennis tickets away (Ian Fraser run good right there). He watched it in his room.

 I busted Sirwatts in the last hand. The others seemed pleased.

Mr Channing eventually busted in 5th place, for $24,000, to add to his 9th for $8,000 the previous day.

For those interested in how it went, he tweeted regular updates on @SenseiChanning

His Twitter feed whilst he was playing that Final Table was bizarre. He was Tweeting each interesting hand, & folks were getting on his case about BBP matters - whilst he was on a big money Final Table. The joys of running an Online Room. 

Congratulations Mr C, next time, improve 4 more places.

The 2013 Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge attracted 21 players. Only one of those players decided to take advantage of the re-entry format and Andrew Robl is certainly glad he did.

Monday night Robl eliminated Igor Kurganov in heads-up play to capture the $100,000 Challenge title, the first live win of his career, and earn $1,000,000. Robl was the first player eliminated on Day 1 and almost didn’t re-enter.

“I was a little bit upset and the last thing I wanted to do was sit there and grind a poker tournament,”Robl said of his decision to fire a second bullet. “I went and had dinner with my girlfriend and started feeling better and decided to come give it another shot.”

Seven players started the final day in contention for the $1,000,000 first place prize. Tobias Reinkemeier was the first to go, lasting just 20 minutes on Day 2. He was followed to the rail by Vanessa Selbst in sixth place and Niklas Heinecker on the bubble in fifth.

Once the bubble had burst it took a little over 2.5 hours to lose another player. Dan Shak, who had crested over 1 million chips earlier in the day, was eliminated by Robl in fourth place, earning $237,000 in the process. Shak has now cashed in events with a buy-in of at least $100,000 five times including three cashes in the $100K Challenge.

With a $290,000 difference between second and third it took some to get another elimination. After 90 minutes of play Masa Kagawa, who began the day as chipleader, was headed to the cashier window with a third place finish worth $320,000. Kagawa was another victim of Robl’s after getting the last of his chips in holding K T against Robl’s J T on a board of T 8 7. The 9 on the turn gave Robl a straight and after the 6 fell on the river Kagawa was eliminated.

The final hand saw Kurganov, who won the EPT Grand Final High Roller in April, call off the last of his stack with the board showing 9 4 2 3. Robl tabled A 5 for a wheel while Kurganov tabled 4 3 for two pair. The Q was of no help to Kurganov and he was eliminated in second place, earning $610,000.

Final Table Payouts

    Andrew Robl – $1,000,000
    Igor Kurganov – $610,000
    Masa Kagawa – $320,000
    Dan Shak – $237,000

"On Thursday, the 2013 Aussie Millions Main Event recommenced for Day 3 action with just 68 players of a 629-player field remaining. Not only were they all looking to make the money at 64, but each hoped to make the final 36 and punch their ticket to Day 4—which will mark the start of six-handed play in the tournament. It only took three levels for 33 players to hit the rail, and during that time Ray Ellis emerged as the chip leader with 1,044,000, though the fearsome Finn Patrik Antonius is hot on his heels with 957,000."

GL Joey Lovelady.  Don't know if he posts here.  Probably one of the very best UK players you haven't heard of.  He used to hold his own at some of the highest betfair 6 max tables back when I played cash.

Joey was the biggest Client on the blondepoker Cardroom.

Unwittingly - certainly not his fault - he was a central part of the chain of events which bought about the closure of our cardroom, after he was "guilty"of winning a lot of money at our cash tables.

Never knew that.  He was out in 20th, guess he can disappear again for a bit.

Works for a black belt these days.
