Welcome to the Game!
As is the norm in major poker events, there are usually a few stragglers that rock up late, and amongst those to have recently taken their seats include Aussies Jamie Pickering and Jim Sachinidis, as well as Full Tilt Red Pros Billy "The Croc" Arygros and Van "Sirens" Marcus.
2004 Aussie Millions Main Event champion Tony "The Lizard" Bloom is also here, but Graeme "Kiwi G" Putt may not be here much longer after being crippled at the hands of Tim Marsters.
The money was all in the middle on the flop and Putt reavealed against Marsters' . Marsters improved to a full house by the river and left Putt with just 5,000 in chips.
Sean Dunwoodie is also struggling, sitting on just over 9,000 in chips and already has used his second-chance card, but he's just taken out an opponent when his dominated his opponent's after the board was spread to give him a full house.
