AUSSIE MILLIONS CUT SHORT

Only 3 stages of blinds were needed on a short Day three to cut down the 75 continuing players in the Aussie Millions Main Event down to twenty-six. It looks quite improbable that Sunday’s extra day will be required, other than the organizers determine to draw the upcoming 2 days short ones.

When play did start the championship was just 3 places off from the money guggle.  While 2 poker players knocked off almost instantly, after that there was a 2 hour break before the guggle finally erupt, before Frank Paul turned to be the unfortunate player after his AJo was outmatched by the 85o of James.  Meantime Kerr had established pocket kings to an Ivey all in five bet. This act did ensure him a minimal cash of $ 15000, for a $ 4400 gain on his investment, but because Ivey denied demonstrating his cards, we will not know it was the perfect move or not

Once the guggle had erupted the voiding came fast and thick.  Those leaving included Michael Tureniec, Aage Ravn, Kenna James, Andrew Hinrichsen and Jason Koon. Koon was aroused all in with big slick. He was quite stormed when he received a bid from Turk with pocket tens.

While a king came along immediately on the right so did a ten to hand Matt a vast reward.  At the time when the call on came a blank Jason was pulling dead.

Matt did not actually require to draw the act, as he was easily guiding the field, but the deal meant his closing heap of 2675000 was almost double that of his closest competitor, the day two leader O’Shea, who pocketed up 1376000.  These two constitute 2 of the 7 players to grip up over a million chips, a squad that include the most prominent name left in the field, Ivey.  Compared to few of the other poker players, Phil had a reasonably calm day, but he constructed his heap solidly and is quite well positioned for a full run in the championship.

Focus on: Darvin Moon

Darvin Moon is a poker player that was runner up during the World Series from 2009, at the main event. He is both an amateur poker player and a self-employed logger and he was playing at the WSOP for the first time that year. He learned how to play the game by himself and he has a logging company. He took part in the World Series by winning a satellite tournament of $130.

He managed to get a large chip lead at the start of the tournament and he managed to get with it to the final table as leader in chips. At the moment around 30% of all the chips being played were his. He did lose the lead for a bit but he took it back by eliminating players like Phil Ivey and Steve Begleiter. Eventually he finished second, Joe Cada being the one in first place. He still took home $5.18 million by finishing second.

While plenty of people criticized him because he lacked experience and because of his style of play a lot of people also praised him for his way of being self-deprecating and for his personality. He also took part in the Heads-Up Poker Championship in 2010, but the first place was taken by someone else once again. During his main event participation in 2010 he was eliminated during the second day.

At his 2009 World Series he was criticized by the commentators because he bluffed quite badly and managed to lose the momentum and the chip lead. Cada managed to win after that and Moon was obviously disappointed when it was all over and he had lost the first place. He played for 18 hours before it was all over and one bad call cost him the tournament. He still took home $5,182,601 as a beginner, so it can’t be considered a huge loss.
