2004 Aussie Millions Champ Eliminated
"All in and a call Table 32," we heard a dealer yell. We made our way over just in time to discover 2004 Aussie Millions winner Tony Bloom was all in for 50,000 or so holding the on a flop. His opponent held the for two pair, which meant Bloom needed to hit a heart to keep his hopes of winning the title for a second time alive.
Bloom was on his feet to watch the dealer burn and turned the . It was a blank for Bloom. He had one more crack at it, but lady luck did not favor him as the peeled off on the river.
Bloom made a pair of aces, but it wasn't enough. "Nice hand," he said before collecting his things and taking his leave from the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event. While he may be gone in this tournament, we expect we'll see Bloom in the $100,000 Challenge a couple days from now.
